    Double-headed X-Ring splice

    The way the green one is created is still one peice of cordage.. i don't usually come across any that use two.. maybe once or twice but only because the person splicing felt it was easier to achieve the end product that way. So whatchya think.. do you have a better understanding how these are...

    1" - 1-1/4" Nylon Double Braid

    Large 100% Nylon Double Braids.. high elongation... (think dock lines) Who's used the brands like CWC, Barry, USA Ropes, NovaBraid, Canada Cordage or even far east imported products. Do you happen to have elongation tables you can provide from them? (I have novabraid's tables) What did you...

    New buckingham retractable Gaff guards & quick connect Foot straps?

    Fucking Buckingham... They sure know how to use existing products & act like they designed them.. I like the guard idea as i have those exact guards & have been scratching my head as to how they expected users to secure them after the cool factor of the magnets wore off & you realized your just...

    Echo 355t

    Interesting feedback.. Don't take me as Mr Negative but... Personally, i can't stand them. Ive never handled one that has been able to last 6 months without some sort of downtime breakage, whether it be the handle coming apart, the side cover coming apart, the recoil blowing apart, the starter...

    Descending a spar ddrt

    ↑↑↑↑↑↑This is what i would do OP.. I mean shit.. even in the case where things aren't all that accessable in your area, a couple simple opposing diameter ring prusiks on a lanyard & you have your cinched anchor to come down on.. you must have access to at least a couple rings, no? I'm assuming...

    Teufelberger Escalator

    I believe it may have been intended to be an improvement on Kmiii, but T-berg's old ad mentions a design for access & foot locking. It has super low stretch & a triple fiber parallel core. What's interesting is according to Wesspur (which i take with grain of salt), it's hand splicable, but not...

    Teufelberger Escalator

    Richard Mumford has done alot of experimenting with the Rope Runner. If you sit & listen to the entire videos i believe you will find common advantages & disadvantages pertaining to the Rope Runner & cordage selection. Even if I'm mistaken about what was discussed, it's still pretty informative...

    “Competition” running two different names

    I'll add a log to the fire.. How about when buying out another business, all their equipment, phone number & clients.. Ive seen that twice in my small town in just the past three years.. Do you just roll it all into one, or try to keep both names alive? Id at least keep the number connected &...

    Snowplowing..the way its done in Minnesota

    Tow plows are pretty trick.. Even on smaller equipment.. I'd even love to use one on residential route, but my route is too tight.. For parking lots though their the balls..

    Descending a spar ddrt

    Your going to splice SEVENTY e2e's up? As well as burn through 70 climbing rated biners?? Dang bro, that's gonna get really really expensive for someone.. Am i not understanding correctly? I mean once you fell with the product on there, your not clipping into it again for life support.. neither...

    Double-headed X-Ring splice

    This is another way to achieve what u want... However, you need a full splice bury in between the red lines. That is unless you think adding a lock stitch splice & a smaller bury will work for your needs & retain enough strength (lock stitch splice = weaving in & out of cordage like a...

    Double-headed X-Ring splice

    Just so you're aware, The method J posted is one way of doing it, however if i remember correctly, the double headed slings your probably referencing are using a different method.. I'm racking my brain right now trying to remember, but the instruction your looking at requires you to "double...

    Show off them splices

    Supposedly 12.7.. but it feels larger & measures around 13.. just like most other cordage own hi vee, t vee all bigger than 12 or 12.7 or whatever they're advertised at.. especially when they list real specific like 11.7 12.7 etc.. they're all over the place when u get a micrometer on em. Make...

    Can the search function be improved?

    You need to be smarter than the feature Mr Skankgonia.. Its ok.. i find that irritating too. I find taptalks search feature alot more fluid but only as long as your within the thread already. I also use chromes "find in page" alot. But what i normally do when I'm searching threads here is use...

    CE Lanyard Rope

    Son of a gun.. look at that.. it's a 4 strand carrier.. Remember what i was saying in the other thread, how the peice of cordage i have is a dual strand? However, beyond the CE, ratings, the cover, etc.. what is on the inside? You mentioned the CE vs Vs Hipstar lanyards themselves seem to be...

    CE Lanyard Rope

    Sorry bud you lost me there for a sec.. & now I'm probably gonna lose you with my response as I'm trouble laying out what I'm trying to say.. So.. When you posted this last April of 18', your implying the the CE/Hipstar was a double braid like the link suggests.. but go on to say that you don't...

    Single beast ring terminal rigging??

    Technically speaking, no.. not exactly in terms of what your specifically asking..but in the context of what the OP was trying to do, its more so just something i was mucking around with to capture the loose ring in the trex loop instead of having to bottom out his whoopie & then having no...
