Splicing help/advice
Yes....different length of bury for different types of splice, rope diameter, fibres, etc. The beauty of splicing is not only the finished product but also the journey. My advice is learn as much as you can about rope construction and splicing so you can understand the why. You are in the right...- RyTheTreeGuy

Splicing help/advice
How much rope do you have to start with?? You can also do locked brummels on both ends and have slightly shorter bury's....12 strand class 1 splice should yield a lot of information for you on the google box or you tube. Good luck and have fun...oh and try not to get to addicted- RyTheTreeGuy

WTF?
I learned fairly recently to always back up my pull lines with wedges ever since my Maasdam failed mid pull with a heavy back leaner. If I didnt have the wedges we would have lost it on the house for sure...also instead of running through the hot zone he could have stayed at the stump and...- RyTheTreeGuy

Very nice work. I have spliced up a friction saver with OP and found it to be nice to work with...especially since having spliced 10 mm reep schnur. Looking forward to starting a mid line attachable canopy anchor that @MikePowers321 posted up or as @swingwould say a "MACA." would anyone be able...- RyTheTreeGuy

Aerial Rescue Challenge from Wesspur and the Ascension Group
High Angle Rescue system that is basically a MRS system. It is anchored and belayed at the bottom with a high re-directional point. Use a Kootenay or pulley to attach patient to standing part designed to move patient out and away on a diagonal to clear any hazards or obstructions.- RyTheTreeGuy

Hitch cord <8 mm
Found some 6 mm Teufelberger prusik cord...not sure it is exactly what you are looking for because it is 100% nylon. However if it is strictly for lanyard progress capture with no intentions of using it for climb line hitch cord then it is more then adequate...- RyTheTreeGuy

Beginner climbing gear?
I have also suffered this fate...However, don't forget that in many cases you will have 150+ feet of throwline. As long as you have 2 throw bags you can always throw the other wnd of the line, access the tree and remove your stuck first attempt. You F that one up and well...thats a shitty day- RyTheTreeGuy

Beginner climbing gear?
Learn MRS with a solid modular system. Develop strong foundation and become proficient with basic climbing techniques. Advance techniques and develop as a climber. Adopt SRS and aquire the gear you want based on your climbing style and experience- RyTheTreeGuy

Beginner climbing gear?
"Cheap" improvised gear is a false sense of economy IMO...I agree with Moss. Look for gear you can advance and grow with as a climber because if you have experience with climbing and are an astute learner it can happen quickly...Quality hank of rope that has been tried and proven for both MRS...- RyTheTreeGuy

Recommended 3-strand splicing video?
No lock stitching required for 3 strand splice. With hollow braid and braid on braid you are relying on the cinching action of the entire braid on top of another causing the "finger trap" effect. With 3 strand the splice is the braid. The safety of this splice is in the number of tucks to...- RyTheTreeGuy

Show off them splices
Finished up a splice in a used piece of one of my oldest climb lines...had a few too many knicks and I really wanted to make a secondary Ddrt system for double crotching and trying some of the techniques in the Schultz effect. When I purchased the rope the vendor told me it was poison hy vee...- RyTheTreeGuy
