With this ring...

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Using the new armour prus tied by treeworkers ive not had to dress it more than twice! its lasting well through heating too, it takes more heat than my hands do!

 

no complications found yet IME

AP is pretty bomb proof Tony, you'll let go of the hitch way before it melts, lol.

 

I am still playing around with the ring, I am currently trying ity through the rope as pictured but lower down between the braids, I have also gone to a standard vt..... its still not perfect though..

 

the search continues...

Sorry fellas, been away.

 

Here's my set up, AP on Poison Hi-vy with a 26mm DMM ring.

 

It's a pain getting the DF knots through the small ring, had to untie, pass them through and re-tie, but this advances really smoothly and locks every time, and cuts sit-back right down.

 

Great tip Drew!

In my humble opinion tree surgeons appear to use more jargon than any other profession I know of, it all sounds very impressive but I haint got a clue what it actually means:blushing:being a mere "stick cutter"

just a thought

AP = ArmorPrus hitch cord (the speckled dark green black hitch rope)

Poison Hi-vy = Climbing rope

DMM Ring = The green ring

DF = Double fishermans knot (at each end of the hitch cord)

sit back = when you push your hitch up and you sit back iin your harness before it grips

 

 

Hope that helps:thumbup:

Do you know how your armour prus is spliced? is it class1 or class2? i Fancy trying some but have read it is only advised to have a class2 splice as it is core dependant.
