How about a PVC tether?

or a nylon one, a hard nylon.

I like Dave and Cary's looped webbing, maybe with a stiff batten inserted inside?

 

[DSMc]

Just ignore the Unicender.

Four layers of 5/8" nylon web stitched tight and a few drops of thin ca glue will make a strong, hard and light weight tether in whatever length you need.

How long do you think you could make a tether like that?

 

[countryboypa31]

Great ideas. I had thought of slipping a hard plastic tube over my tether to create a stiff tether.

Right now i'm using a 10mm beeline spliced on one end. And then using a double fisherman's on the rope wrench. The splices create a stiffer tether and the double fisherman's doesn't allow it to rotate as far when the RW is not engaged. I haven't been able to get it to load the nose of the RW so far.

Keep the ideas coming. This is what we need to make the RW Competition ready.

Seems like they should be able to grizzly splice the shat out of a small piece of line which would make for a great stiff teather.

Get on it tobe. Then make it of a "sherrill only" colored cord, name it something completely retarded and then charge twice the price of Treestuff

Marc...you are the devil's advocate...lol

 

[DSMc]

Not sure on how long but I bet long enough. Mine obviously is quite short but it feels like a piece of carbon fiber from the ca glue.
I like Marc's thought on a grizzly stitched tether. Done the full length it would be rock hard.

I slid a piece of PVC tubing over my petzl dogbone tether, it was nice, stiff, but still flexible. I think a rock stiff one is not the best idea, firm yes, but it is gonna need to bend sometimes.

 

[familytree]

Has anyone considered a topical cream or maybe a visit to the doctors for their flacid tethers?

 

[lonniels]

Dave I can't sew yet so this is the hard tether I bought for the uni, 4 inch double snap. I can also take off the RW when I just want to use the Uni.

 

[DSMc]

That is a very good solution, Lonnie. I like it.

[SingleJack]

Now, that's brilliant!

 

[lonniels]

Thanks to both of you, Dave and Kevin get all the credit for the concepts.

 

[treebing]

wow lonniels, you got one of the original 20. Sweet.

 

[adolan]

So do I. Didn't realize that there were only 20 made like that. I feel special haha

 

[CreTree]

Looks the same as mine. Although I did pick it previously loved.

 

[familytree]

Mine is made of wood so I have almost all of you beat!

I'll now be looking for a double snap. Great idea man!

 

[lonniels]

Thanks Kevin I knew it looked different than some I had seen on here!

Thanks familytree!
