Im a big fan of the Stable Braid. I do most of my rigging with the half inch blue. The only issue I have is that it needs to be broke in. It will twist up in the porty if you dont work the twists out and milk the cover. Once it is broke in it is good stuff. Even works fairly well as a speed...
I think everyone is having a rough time with them. I had a dead brach come loose and drill me in the back the other day. Hope ya heal up quickly and completely. Stay safe out there guys?

Ahhhhh, the good ole Swiss seat. I have used it for trees once or twice and that is a painful SOB. I descended a few feet rappelling using the Swiss Seat over my military career. Somehow its not as painful when your rapping out of a black hawk in the middle of the night onto a roof top.
I was on the way back from the grocery store this afternoon and saw the text book neighbor on a step ladder with an electric chainsaw scenerio. They had a piece of 3/8 " polypro dock rope tied off to the lowest branch on a 35 ft siberian elm and the other end tied off (with a series of granny...
