Most popular arborist ropes are good for positioning if the device grabs and releases nicely. For flipping/ rolling/ waving up a fat spar you need a steel core or a stiff Dacron or kernmantle.
Yeah i know thanks johnny. I do need a new wire core. Thats why i was asking lastnight. I was looking at 1. Thanks for your advice. I definitely know that pain trying to flip up a tree that size with out a wire core flipline. It sucks but ive done it. Setring bbn a line is a hell of alot eaiser. And have someone help pull you up. Yesterday i got stuck climbing a little box elder in snow boot because i forgot my climbing boots. My gaffs would not stay where there supposed to be. I pretty much climbed with my gaffs at the heel of my foot. Sucked but once i got to where i needed to be and tied in i got the job done.
Yeah ive heard of alot of people doing that. I may do the same i had a few extra lanyards made up when wesspur had a sale where you get free eye splices or swen eyes. So i had 3 extra made up cheaper than the price to buy 1 without hardware. So im ready if i decide to cut it off. Lol oh but ive heard of alot of people really liking it. So time will tell. Ill let you know when i try it out. It on back order and going to take a bit.
