Loopies, whoopies, ultras etc

[AHPP]

I've always used dead eyes for rings/pulleys up the tree because you can leave your rigging line threaded. I now find myself needing to set up portawrap chokes on the ground regularly. However well I tie a timber hitch or a cow hitch, the knot always tightens a bit and the portawrap stretches up to chest level. Are whoopies/loopies/ultras noteworthily tighter? i.e. If I snug one up at shin level, will the eye stay at pretty much shin level? Or is it more to do with the rope type? My dead eyes are double braid. Loopies/whoopies/ultras are all that hollow stuff, like tREX, which is apparently less stretchy. "tREX is a low-stretch hollow braid rope consisting of 12 strands"

If I understand correctly (always a bit of a lottery at this time) 

Why not just use a ratchet strap, with a loopie/stroopie back up?

I am likewise in danger of misunderstanding. Though probably a few units behind you.

 

Got a photo of what you mean please? I didn't totally follow the last time you said it.

You use a ratchet strap for your GRCS and the Hobbs you sold me don’t you?

just use that ratchet strap for the POW, hey presto it’s rigid to the tree.

Ratchet strap where on the portawrap?

This isn't answering my original question btw. Is anyone sober or not valentines daying the wife?

No.

On both counts.

Floating bollards will always have a bit of slop in them. There's no way anyone can pretension a board against a lump of heavy being negative rigged. Doesn't matter is it's Captain America or a malnourished anarchist such as yourself.

 

Only way to circumnavigate the fact is with a fixed board.

 

Just the opinion of an equally sexually frustrated fellow arb.

Forget the roses Joe?
