I use the reep schnur for a large variety of climbing tools. I have made ascender foot loops, foot lock prussiks, monkey tails and several other pieces of kit. It is a double braid splice similar to other arborist double braids with the only difference being the 32 strand cover. I would be...
teufelberger Sirius reep schnur... Very easy to splice and subtle colors I use it for several bow hunting applications

You have obviously underestimated my technological illiteracy.... I can tie knots but recording videos and then actually being able to properly post them on the Googlenet... I'm not quite there yet
Agreed, I canopy anchor with the alpine butterfly all the time and have never had an issue with untying after a climb. Also I know that I am obviously biased but from watching the video the butterfly is much easier to tie and bidirectional.... What's not to like
Thanks I really like the simplicity of it and that it is totally bomb proof. I pretty much always climb with a 200 foot htp or escalator. Smaller trees I will pull out my double braids but it's usually the static lines that I prefer to use
Alpine butterfly with a dmm ring or small x ring if I won't need to move my tie in or an alpine butterfly and delta link if I know I will be moving my tie in.
It was tough, but not as bad as I had made it out to be in my head, but tough enough that I haven't decided whether or not to put a splice on the other end of the lanyard
So today I got some better pictures of my connection points on the harness. Right now i have the female buckles mounted so they are removable and easily adjusted, however on previous versions I had riveted loops attached to the harness and this is probably the way I will go again. On the back I...
Thanks everyone that has responded, I really appreciate all the positive support and interest. I would love to be able to market my design and sell it on some sort of small scale, however sourcing the tree motion dee rings would prove to be an issue. I was able to make two prototypes because my...
I first started single rope work positioning several years ago when I bought one of original rope wrenches, and ever since then I have been striving to find an effective way to advance my climbing system during ascent. I have tried all sorts of different methods but finally last year I spliced a...
This is a chest harness i spliced a while back. It worked alright but there were no adjustments so I have since retired this one and created another one with some help from yoyoman. I will be posting about the new harness later.
The company I work for had a tracked ram rod when I first started and they had a lot of issues with getting parts. They also had an issue with the exhaust becoming filled with unburned fuel... No idea how this could happen, but it did frequently and no one could answer how or why this would...
