lines gettin kinker than me on a saturday night..

[HoldFast]

pretty new here , so if it has been talked I missed it..but does anyone else have trouble with lines kinking into knots when gettin good use out of your porta wrap.. messes up the flow and would luv to hear some trouble shooting. have tried loading the rope a different direction each time, tried different ropes, tried working twists out between loads, but really slows things down in the chi world...feels less ninja...

Yeah the PAW causes kinks. We have to run the rope all the way out sometimes. I don't get much ground time so has anyone tried running it leading in from the left and then the right every other time?

try running the porty in the tree? check out the over head rigging thread.

After each lower change the direction of the wraps on the tube. Use the other end of the rope for a few lowers helps too.

Keep the rope on the ground fair and stretched out between uses. Double braid doesn't twist up as bad laid rope.

Pull the tails off the ground periodically to get the hockles to untwist out of the freehanging rope as much as needed.

Thanx guys, all great advice..tried it all except upending the line. Find that switching directions on the barrel and keeping my line strungout as possible prolongs it the best. Just glad to see others share in the pain...
