    Sharpening options for 540iXP?

    I have been using my cheapo harbor freight Chicago electric(?) chain grinder only for the nano stuff and it has been great for that, 25-26 degree cutter angle. I have both set up on my 200t and the 540ixp. The rakers are a pain but at least it’s only a 16” bar and chain. And a good clean flat...

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    Bdb with elongated bollard and swivel has been my no brainer device on bifrost. I have been going between that and the hhxf for spar work, love both easy to go from moving rope to single line and bomb out of the tree if need with a choked anchor.

    Some day I’ll pick one of these up. What are thoughts on the holdfast rigging system?

    Before ‘SPAM’

    Spam spam spam. I love spam. And more so, I love Monty Python’s flying circus. So much so, my wife and I had a Monty python themed wedding. With a spam decorated cake!

    Small Jobs

    Ha, there is a skit from the show “Impractical jokers” where they are waiters at a restaurant and they start charging customers a fussy fee. It’s pretty hilarious. “Ah I see you’ve been charged the fussy fee…”

    Blue 32!

    Bumping this thread. Any more experience that folks have had? Arbsession has it in stock but does not have the specs for the passable splice. Fine with me as I don’t use a zz or anything that would need it. Price is still up there

    Really like that idea of the mats tied together. What’s the storage setup look like. Always trying to figure out how not to have to carry single mats on my back lol

    Today....

    Thanks. It’s just a whip no stitch but I think it’s adequate for the application. @Muggs has some pretty slick nautical whip on his lanyards looks like.

    MLR had a sale on this cotton 3 strand I couldn’t resist. Picked up a soft fid and a hank of this sparkly rope. Dog leash for the in-laws :) And a nice art piece next door to where we were working yesterday

    Today....

    That thing is a hog! What are the dimensions? We are waiting on a new bucket for our MT but I don’t think the mulch bucket we are getting even comes close! Mainly used for moving stump chips. I don’t think ours is a BM brand.

    New HitchHikerXF

    Anywayyyyys. Consensus is, As I worked with it yesterday, there were too many wraps! Hahah duhh. I took much of the slack out of the initial tying of the hitch, brought the half hitch as close to the body of the device as possible and took out one wrap, and worked the rest of the slack out...

    New HitchHikerXF

    I realize my lefty brain just automatically switches/mirrors everything. Maybe a reason why it looked weird in my photo. My long lanyard is also kernmaster, with 28” armorprus poly, catalyst hitch. A little tighter but smooth for moving rope configurations.

    I like the amount of wraps as it grabs consistently. And yes I think you nailed it with the smoothness of the kernmantle. I can mess around with this hitch tightening things up and maybe losing a wrap. I love the endless possibilities

    I believe the stopper knot is the “stevedore” … knottt sure I’m tying it right. But otherwise I’ve been using a double fisherman’s one side stays tied on the dogbone. The hitch I believe is what Richard uses, one turn/half hitch and then reverse the turn direction and wrap up the rope and cross...
