Gone back to VT

[Tommy_B]

The only thing that I've found with Ocean Polyester is that it takes a while for it to bed in. I've been playing with Samson Bailout after Old Snake recommended it and its pretty good stuff.

Just the jerkiness on descent and the lack of control when branch leaping Tommy

 

I know what you mean mate. Its a bit "all or nothing" isn't it!! haha!!

Hahaha......I've never said "Ooops" so many times in a tree as I have whilst using the LJ

I used icetail for a while, its good but i found it tightened up as it bedded in, I do like mine dressed short though to minimise tha sitback.

 

Now that I think of it I nevertried the icetail with a howard hitch so maybe its worth re-visiting.

The first time I used a Lock jack with a Ropeguide, I gave it a good pull and nearly fouled myself!! Both great bits of gear but I'd choose the Ropeguide everytime!! Haha!!

Yeah I dress and make my VTs really short. A bit like me.
