Agreed. Nice catch. Mine stick straight up. They're made with a super stiff ArbPro throwline that has three parallel inner strands. It's got more memory than a MIT graduate. I'm definitely going to check to be sure it can't fold down that far. Thanks, Mike!

Damn that looks good Worthaug! Love me some chorizo. I get Chori Pollo every time we eat Mexican at our favorite joint.

Good find Mike. Wonder if that could happen on some of the other devices when using a long tether too.

We'll have to do Nachos one night for the Bones Brigade weekend then...

And can we get some Highland Kashmir IPA to go with? Huh huh? Can we?
Actually some ol' Coronas wouldn't be bad with that either.
Can't wait for the Brigade Weekend #1!

I'll bet the soft tether that trails up through the links, with the ring on top would prevent that from happening.

Highland has been experimenting with some other good IPA recipes too. Devil's Britches and a 20th anniversary too... but if you just want Kashmir that's fine too [emoji3] [emoji481]And can we get some Highland Kashmir IPA to go with? Huh huh? Can we?

I would agree, it seems like the safest method, but it doesn't quite tend like the upper arms location...

Good to know. I haven't tried either yet. Too much bucket work lately and my only tending point so far has been the original location with a soft n shorty.

In fact, I've kept both tethers attached to my BDB and have found that when I am ascending with the Bone from the ground to my aerial destination I will use the top arm tether. But, when I'm either doing a removal or going up and down alot the tether that is girthed to the tending hole and has a ring on it is easier to clip in and out of.
Good Info Mike. Thank you for sharing. Thanks for the PM Gordon.

Jim-
Thank you sir.
By coincidence I slipped a tight fitting section of surgical tubing over the tether on one bone to keep a mini-biner oriented and it is stiff enough to keep it away from the lower arms. I have not done this to the other one yet and sure enough, the mini-biner can hook the lower arm. I'll fix it too.

That dirt wolf is a hop monster! Yummy!
Keep trying to remember to try the bungee tether...
Oh yes! Do you think there are any good ciders down there? Maybe they aren't your thing, but I've been going for cider more so than beer for a good bit now.
I wanna eat that WHOLE thing...right now!

Lots of local cideries (term?), no worries there Eric.
