Hi, was just wondering if I could get someone to send me a bit of AP, only enough for a VT, will happily pay good dollar for it, or if you have some half used stuff you could do without.. I'd be well chuffed! Cheers, Matt.

we spent a couple of hours yesterday trying to destroy some rope savers by dropping 100kg weights in a dynamic test from various heights. We used yale blaze rope and AP tied ina vt config. After 2 hrs of dropping from 1m, 2m and 3m we had broken nothing. The last drop was 5m+ and still nothing vbroke, the main damage was the AP had virtually welded itself to the blaze-this stuff is strong!! in fact evrything we use is v strong and our bodies and anchor points will be the weak point that breaks i feel. Videos will uploaded soon to youtube and treetools site.

i think if we had of used standard poly hitch cord it would of melted straight through btw
