I got it from honeybros before but it always seems to be out of stock

Try Nod. I know he had some at one of the shows. Don't think its on his website though.

I've bought it from honey Brothers in the past. Be careful though because I seem to remember two different types and one type was useless on my Poison HiVee.

 

That Godawful red and black stuff?

I tried to get some armour Prus from honey bros the other day they don't sell it anymore due to import costs with it coming from New Zealand.

In the past I ordered a reel from NZ.

Honeys did have some thing that looked identical well almost and was just a little more supple.

Honeys do have some similar stuff, made by liros I believe. Not listed on the site though. About 3.50 a metre, got some on tachyon, runs nice but I still think armor prus is better and harder wearing.

A couple of pictures of my setup. Hitch cord is a stitched e2e from stein, 70cm. It works a treat on cougar blue.

 

Pictures are from a light pruning job last week.

I've got my own setup on the way after using the boss's kit for a while. 60m of Cougar Blue and some Armor Pruss. Unashamedly excited! I've noticed a lot of guys seem to climb on a Knut, why choose this over a VT?

 

I switched over to a knut when I got the RW, I couldn't get a VT to work well. I prefer the knut as it seems more reliable, easier to tend, and you can use a much shorter cord and have less sit-back.

 

I use Blue Tongue and currently on 8mm AP, which is the orange polyester version, I might try the regular 8mm AP next, or Beeline.

 

Do you guys notice the hitch cord feeling 'flatter' than DRT when using the wrench?

So a Knut bites well and tends well? I think my VT tying skills may be off as I find I need to be constantly visual that it's bit.

 

I've seen a lot of guys mentioning the flattening and when I climbed single this week I was reminded of that, I definitely noticed a flattening of Cougar Blue, almost resembling an oval shape
