    ZigZag Issue Again...

    A hitch spends most of it's time with it's weight supported on the rope and weightless to the climber. So why not build it out of all steel? Love to see the ringing noise of the polished side plates part of the design process. Big clunky links that rattle with custom engraving side plate like a...

    I went to work feeling kinda sick about messing with Nick. But a little pain now is better that a huge disaster later. Keep up the good work Nick but save the promos for some really innovative exciting stuff. Feeling better now.

    Not just that but a splice works by squeezing together two lines making it stronger than the rope itself by adding another cover. This Ultra Sling pushes the splice apart which may not weaken it on a couple uses but I'm thinking it would work the splice loose and the wear issues. I'm just...

    Without ever actually addressing my concern. Thanks for nothin'.

    Still here, whew!

    Been there. I've even mentally prepared for the failure, actions required and the pain. Worked that one out and after halving it, pulled it over with one hand and no cut. Wish I'd charged accordingly.

    Felling compilation video.

    Lots of good footage. You could really feel the thumps. Well done.

    I checked out a brummel video. "You take your twelve strand stick the fid through the center and have 6 strands on each side." That's what I mean by divided. Now bend the rope and put it under tension there's gonna be friction on a single strand on each side of the whatever it's called, insert.

    It's a brummel correct? I don't even know what that is in detail. If that's what it is I'll take a closer look at one.

    Do you give a discount if you take the wood?

    That's a big marketing challenge. I bid like you, it seems to be the only way to do it unless your running some kind of bluff. When you do quality work the product is often identical to the hack with removal work. Both have created a stump in the yard. Too bad there's no style points. I suppose...

    So...about the "Ultra Sling"? I have a concern about the design which I've been asking from the start of the thread. Someone want to cough up an answer? It just seemed fundamentally flawed. I'm guessing this has been discussed in the splicing section which I don't follow but what I'm seeing is...

    Do you give a discount if you take the wood?

    That's why they call it the bottom line.

    A basic question about loading a splice. Is it OK to choke a girth through the throat of a splice? It may work but it wouldn't be the best way to do it. Your still making me cringe Bix. Do you like Bixler better or Brian I don't know. I know this whole discussion is getting weird. But really...

    ABR Ultra Sling

    Is that configuration used often? Do you knoe what I mean by loading the throat? Continue. Anybody? Seems like a legitimate concern to me. So I guess what I'm missing is it's not a cow hitch but it works. It's an alternative that passes inspection and testing and my concern the cow hitch is...

    Cut the crap in general. Anyway would this sling make it through a season of slammin'? Or do I need to werd it simpler? Other than the test breaks do you splicers load your throats often and how's the durability? Really looks wrong.

    Cancel that. I'm not really that invested in the sling. It's just not doing it for me. I'm hooked on knots could be the source of my narrow mindedness.

    ABR Ultra Sling

    Cow hitch is what I'm comparing it to. It may test new but I gotta figure the cycles to failure are greatly reduced. Do you have any data you want to publish on that Nick? I'll look for similar data on a cow hitch. Could take awhile to find that. Or maybe someone knows that comparison without...

    Do you give a discount if you take the wood?

    I get to buck and leave it on almost every job. Cold up here. I keep every stick to keep me and my parents homes heated. Works out great except my wood pile keeps pulling in people wanting to buy it. I couldn't sell it for enough to part with it. I'll just put more bigger heaters in more...

    ABR Ultra Sling

    Could someone school me? I think the proper splicing term would be loading the throat. Isn't that wrong? Unless your coughing up a loogy.
