So I have a mess around with a tether and I've come to this [ATTACH]107206[/ATTACH]

 

I dunno if it's because I'm using 13mm rope but there is a fair bit of friction when I release the hitch and its quite jolly as well

 

Good to see it being used, i use smaller hitch cord and less wraps like i used to use 2-3 wraps and 4-3 braids on a vt. 2w,4b and 4w,2b

 

Steve, its great for reducing trees, takedowns are either as they both serve the purpose but think that drt favors more climber in that situation and obviously the mechanical advantage.

 

For me im srt 95% of the time, just the advantages for me out weigh the mechanical advantage of drt, except weekends when im susan....

Do you mean shorter hitch cord Ian?

less wraps, i use amour pruss or stein beeline when im not on the lj setup.

the softer the cord i found worked better, but make sure its heat resilient. Stiff cord seemed to occasionally miss bite even on drt.

Ye I know that from climbing on a vt. Will having 13mm rope make a big difference to the smoothness of the wrench?

sorryi miss read wha6t you were asking its better on 11-11.5mm ropes i found but in fairness should work the same on 13mm

No bother,Il keep at it with the 13mm but in the new year I wanna get something longer and thinner
