What friction hitch are you on?

[old snake]

VT for me,very good hitch and very easy to customise. Seem to pick it over my lock jack most of the time!!

Still in love with the Howard...Dare I say, even better than the VT..

Tom, do you use the Howard on your strop aswell, or other?

The strop I use 90% of the time is a soft wirecore line with a micrograb, However on big trees I sometimes use a 7m piece of Hi V which has a howard and micro pulley on it,(i used it on the dead beech take down) I find having that long a tail beneath me annoying on most stuff though, almosty as bad as using both ends of the rope.

Worth daisy chaining the unused meters?

 

Keeps it neat and out of the way.

I keep it that way in the bag but as soon as you start using it its hanging down, ant I'm too impatient to gather it up each time.

Spider jack for me! No going back

[testcricket01]

prussic 90% of the time and 10% of time i use icicle hitch.

 

have a icicle hitch on my lanyard all time.

 

personally i find that the icicle bites better than others.

 

only problem ive had is that it sometimes becomes hard to pull the slack out after it been loaded for a length of time.
