I'd kinda maybe say the same for my velocity..but other than that. That would surprise me. I don't remember if blue streak is 16 or 12 idkquite often I natural crotch my 24 strand lines, and they are showing less wear than my bluestreak, and the bluestreak has maybe 1/3-1/2 the use as my 24 strand lines
12 strand ropes are more likely to me used with a blake's. Eye to eye prusiks don't work well on 12 strands. 16s they do.looking at all the old school guys using the blakes or taughtline natural crotching everything, its all 16 strand
bluestreak is 16 strand, the wear might be because I weigh less than most people, so im putting less stress and friction on my ropesI'd kinda maybe say the same for my velocity..but other than that. That would surprise me. I don't remember if blue streak is 16 or 12 idk
Yeah for certain things..not everythingfrom what ive found, its all personal preference, what works for one person might not work for the second, and so on
absolutely, I might pick up some more bluestreak, I only got 20ftCould be also if your not blazing out of the tree that saves friction. Idk but I'd recommend 16 strand for natural crotch ddrt not 12 or 24 or 32
Yeah cool...I want to get some safety blue from teufelburger or samson brw or hawkeyeabsolutely, I might pick up some more bluestreak, I only got 20ft
was on the wespur site yesterday, saw some cool stuff called "R.I.N.G" (Red is no go)Yeah cool...I want to get some safety blue from teufelburger or samson brw or hawkeye
Yup I know what your talking about..almost got there lanyard of that. Safety blue is the same thing. White with a blue core. Top of my listwas on the wespur site yesterday, saw some cool stuff called "R.I.N.G" (Red is no go)
core, jacket layer one (Red) and jacket two (Actual outside jacket) so inspection it super easy, look for melting, burning, and dis coloration, if its cut youll see the red sticking out
ahhh nice, never new the safety blue was that wayYup I know what your talking about..almost got there lanyard of that. Safety blue is the same thing. White with a blue core. Top of my list
Really? Cool. That's one thing I want to learn. Could have save me alot of money if I could do my own splices. You had them break tested right? Can you show me what you mean with your lanyard? Kinda blankingtell ya what, you dont know nice till your lanyard is spliced on one end, awesome for using a frictionsaver on it around a spar (Like a treesqueaze)
super happy I decided to learn splicing, ive done velocity, vortex, amsteel, tenex-tec and all sorts of 3 strand
the frictionsaver is a ring and ring adjustable one, the lanyard hasnt been break tested, although I probably shouldYou have rings on it? Or thrown a carabiner in there with a prusik?
btw, all you need is a tape measure, scissors, knife, wire fid (I use a folded over piece of fence wire) electrical tape, vicegrips and ytif I could do my own splices.
Oh alright. Just how it's supposed to be used..thought you were doing something different. Yeah I love using my friction saver like that its great while on a sparhere is what I mean with the lanyard

I like that setup, although I prefer SRT choked around the spar, very handy when ya need it thoOh alright. Just how it's supposed to be used..thought you were doing something different. Yeah I love using my friction saver like that its great while on a spar
