tieing a v.t properly?!?!?!

[Steve Bullman]

try some different cord

[vduben]

what would you recomend?

[Steve Bullman]

liros is good, any bog standard polyester double braid works well, if you have a chandlers near you they will stock that.

the new yale silverstreak is good

 

theres none really that are bad as such, you just need to find good combinations

[vduben]

justin gave me some yale stuff thats blue yello and silver so i guess thats it, can you use 9mm cord on a blaze?

[Steve Bullman]

yeah, im using the silverstreak on 11mm rope, works fine

[vduben]

i will try it out

How are you finding the Silverstreak's durability compared to Beal Regate

When I first tried a VT hitch, I was told that I should make the hitch cord as short as possible without binding. Since you're not pushing the hitch ahead of you with your free hand, but instead you're pulling the slack rope through the hitch, it makes sense to keep the hitch as compact and with as little slop as possible. Within 6 months I found the 'perfect hitch' for myself and have stuck with it for over 5 years now. Every time I try a different variation, I end up going back to this. It just plain works. The cord is a double braid polyester.

Hey Ed! Thank you, I'm glad I could contribute a little something that might hopefully help somebody.

 

Nice place you have here. Don't mind me, I promise not to interrupt.
