Anyone ever open an office in a seperate location, say an island? An opportunity has arisen to potentially have routine work on a island with a great market and I would hate to look opportunity in the eye and pass because of lack of experience or confidence
Has anyone ever played with creating a dog bone type insert for their hitch?
The idea is to go from working one a moving rope system, to choking a stem to repel on a stationary rope, using the same climbing system (a hitch climber / micro pulley and prussic).

I have 1, what has been named previously, X Rigging Hook. It is a midline attachable ring. Not great for all rigging scenarios but makes a quick ground redirect for pulling, winching, or rigging if the set up is favorable.

Can anyone tell me anything...
Got some Samson ice to make some hitch cords for different stuff. Was planning on some lockkng brummels, but there is a core of some sort and I wanted to confirm what's going on. I'm assuming that helps it have a round feel to it as rope? If I'm splicing this stuff, can i pull this core and then...
