Ya, I left Rochester today, it was 50 and the first sun we have seen in a week, down to Georgia which was 50 and rain haha. Supposed to clear up in the next days.
It scares me to think the ground will not freeze this winter if it continues with the warmer temperatures.
Makes work a mud fest...
I’ve basically been kitted out by Rico at this point. I used my shorty hitch climber setup today and it was buttery smooth. Teuf. fly and beeline. So I am telling myself I don’t need the zag

My bud took some really good pictures of a job out a family friends cabin. Split and crispy dead ash. Tied into the poplar behind, couple wimpy ratchet straps for piece of mind and bombs away.
If you really wanted, you could do something similar to what @treebing Bingham did with his rope runner pro in a moving rope setup. It would get the knot up a ways from the prusik. He posted some pictures in an earlier thread…
But who am I :)
I already had one quickie and the dog bone from a rock climbing quick draw…
Which is what the guy in the video is using minus one quickie/ sub screw link.
Also works as a cinch anchor on a spar.
Wow!
That is literally all I have to say. It looks so good. Can’t wait to dial it in.

My front yard Oak lost a small top from high winds. Easy cleanup, wife roped off t down for me :) But...
Cut that one eye off and that is a sweet rope! I use bifrost everyday, have bought a few hanks already. Might be a sweet speed line
Anyone know what shipping looks like for 15-20lbs(?) of rope?
Are you referring to half hitches as in a clove hitch? I guess my question is, will the clove hitch roll out in the same/similar fashion as the girth hitch? Pretty cool thoughts.
When I have to break my line pulling a stuck throw ball I’ll try that method next haha
I’ll let you know. But
I’ll let you know. First inclination is, no, none at all haha. But it is definitely lower profile, so maybe pulling a line back through a tight crotch or an elm stub, there is no knot to give you even more trouble
