So its not the New England I used to use, I did ask earlier if it was.

 

I ain't no rope geek, in fact I don't really take much interest in gear.

 

I find stuff I like and stick to it.

 

I don't even know what chains my saws use, I go to my dealer and say "give me some chains for my 66 or 44 or what ever.

 

Is this "Tacyhon" stuff less bouncy than the old stuff???

i have the orange tacyhon and found that it twists real bad and gets on my wick. i sometimes find that ensuring the end is severd with a knife [and taped up!] instead of being heat sealed sorts it out as it gives the strands in the rope the ability to flex and move and therefore reducing the memory in the fibres. this works with most ropes. but not the tacyhon i.m.o! gone back to using good old blaze for the time being and have resigned the tacyhon to the spedline kit to be used as a pull line!

I jumped the last 15' out of the tree the other day, only for there to be a coil about 4' from the ground, sending me right back into the tree like a tit... it is getting on my wick a little... and starting to glaze quite a bit.. i'm using beeline on it..
