    Guy rope angle for side lean pull over

    it would also be cool to be able to compensate when your guy anchor is not 90° from the intended felling direction. So like you said, maybe you could have the notch higher or lower in relation to that guy anchor height to compensate for a different angle than 90° maybe?

    Guy rope angle for side lean pull over

    I have been using a secondary rope tied maybe a third of the way up the trunk when felling (pulling over) side leaning trees with questionable hingewood quality. Does anyone have a formula or guideline of the best placement of height and angle when you have a side lean on a tree or spar that...

    Triple ring eye/ loop sling: Update - Half Brummel?

    Ok - I ended up doing a “mobius” brummel like in this video- it got a little sloppy because of twin strands of the tenex tec, Also I was using the same rope that I had already tapered, so i switched back and forth between 3 strand and 4 strand braiding to create the 4 strands needed for...

    Triple ring eye/ loop sling: Update - Half Brummel?

    Update: I did the double Brummel with a regular old end to end splice, but just for fun I pulled it out and passed one end through the other- kind of a half Brummel? Then buried each end. Is that legit? It seems less likely to creep out, but not as strong, but I have a locking brummel on the...

    Triple ring eye/ loop sling: Update - Half Brummel?

    Actually, I miscalculated, I would have room for two 21 inch buries which is about a fid and a half, But as Brocky pointed out , the buries would shorten my loop length so once I figure that out I’ll have extra length in the buries to end up with 21 inches lengthwise in the open, usable part of...

    Triple ring eye/ loop sling: Update - Half Brummel?

    Ok thanks, The 5/8 Tenex Tec barely fits in that triple ring, not sure how the thicker buried section would fit in there but maybe I’ll give it a try. Or maybe a chafe sleeve over the crossover point if I did it like the x-ring loop? Thanks

    Triple ring eye/ loop sling: Update - Half Brummel?

    OK, I understand. Would two 10 inch buries be long enough for 5/8” Tenex Tec? Because it looks like that’s all I would have room for. Also, do I need to lock stitch anything? I think basically I’m trying to make something like this, but with a loop about 23 inches long not including the...

    Triple ring eye/ loop sling: Update - Half Brummel?

    Hi, I’m pretty much a beginner with splicing, but I watched this video, and I’d like to make the prussik style sling this guy uses. He’s got the triple ring sling tight in a locked Brummel, but I can’t tell if the rest is an endless loop or one large eye. Also, I have no idea how to make it...

    Product Recall DMM Compact Swivel Units

    I’m wondering, he says the threads stripped out, but DMM says the swivel unscrewed so which one happened? Because if it unscrewed, I would think you’d have a little warning -a gap would develop. Also, how did they solve the problem so quickly that the new ones their manufacturing won’t have the...

    Hi - I was wondering if you still have the titanium Buck's If so, are they the ones with the offset stirrup? Also wondering how long you've had them / how much life left on the spurs? ( ie how long are they?) thanks and merry christmas. Paul

    RE Akimbo setting and rope

    not too bouncy= i'm at C2 now - but did a long burn today and at the bottom I couldn't make the akimbo stick- kept slowly decending, even after pushing upper cam up. mine also falls down the rope- didn't know there was a spring- will have to check. will try c3 or d2 next. been climbing with...
