Adjustable Prusik

Detail of the adjusting element. As you can see, it becomes obvious how N.E. achieves the increadible 5000 lbs. tensile, the core is technora, or some other high-tech fibre (my poor scissors!).

Well done Mark! I really like your setup better than mine. It is exactly how I like to work things too. Thanks for sharing that. Any more great ideas? /forum/images/graemlins/jiggy.gif

Mark,

Nice setup.

I've been thinking of using the Tech Cord for the adjuster on my hip lanyard.

Who is selling the "10mm FSE Footlock lanyard"?
Or is it homemade?
Clean and nice looking setup Mark. Thanks for sharing.

FSE is a rope made by Gleistein in Germany that's popular here for use in friction-hitches. It doesn't really matter what you use, I would recomend a double braid, though. The wee prussic would probably cinch down too hard on a hollow braid making it hard to adjust once loaded. Yes, it is home made, but it is a standard double braid splice.

Hey, no big deal about sharing. What's the use of sitting on concepts, if not to discuss and improve them with others?

Mark, actually I do have a couple of other ideas, but they'll have to wait till later this year. But I think you can start to get excited now already... if you know what I mean. /forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif
