    Addicted.

    Stay away from ebay. The deals on rope scraps are addicting. And definately don't go to the castobargains ebay store.

    Soft shackles

    Here is my post about soft shackles. I tried a different method. It claims a 230% increase in single line break strength. I plan on trying it with some similar 5/8 tenex. http://www.treebuzz.com/forum/threads/show-off-them-splices.23492/page-98

    I don't think it matters that much. I use the speedy stitched method, knot the ends, bury the loose ends, and then use a separate thread for whipping over the lock stitch.

    Here is a db eye splice from rope logic on yale Aztec. It is at the base of the core taper. The lock stitch is for locking the core to the cover. It is not necessary to capture the taper in the lock stitch on a double braid. That being said; if you can do it and not damage fibers, it can't hurt.

    The dead eye sling is a very useful tool. I te The throat is too tight to lock stitch. Trying to force a needle through that part of the rope will damage to many fibers. It is also only needed until the rope is loaded. After that it is just decoration. A proper double braid eye splice should...

    I thought I would try my hand at the soft shackle. I did some research and found the improved soft shackle. It claims 230% of single line strength. I made one with a 12 inch opening. I started with an 84 inch long piece of 3/8 Amsteel. That means this shackle should be good for 40,000lbs. Would...

    CE Lanyard Rope

    As of the time I posted it was accurate. I don't know what they sell with the lanyard now. It used to be a polyester kernamtle that measured 10mm but was sold as 11mm. As far as I know it is not splicable. Prove me wrong Jimmy!

    How to prevent top handle exhaust from melting stuff when racking it

    I was using an echo 355t with a basic lanyard. It has a dog leash snap on one end and a loop and ring on the other. It hangs below my feet when fully extended or if I clip the ring to my saddle it will be about 6 inches below my waist, hanging straight down. The loop of the lanyard is girth...

    How would you rig this

    I agree that using a lift to remove the little stuff is probably the safest. Can you get a high reach bucket truck back there or close enough to matter? A long pole saw can make a lift a lot more practical. Once I started to use a pole saw from a bucket, my ability to get stuff done doubled. Not...

    Old School

    Sometimes the things that keep us sane are the things that make those around us insane. It is important to have balance in life. Easier said than done. I am still trying to find mine.
