what VT and rope please???

[Peter]

There are no uk importers or distributors at present, and the makers cant really sell it to the uk market as it does not have CE. Therefore as I understand it the only way to get some is to buy it in NZ.

beal blue and white is hard and good,I use regate prussik on it and it's good trouble is alot of rope is very soft not this one and very hard waring

[pgwisn]

My most used ropes are a 60 meter XTC Fire 13mm with a 7.6cm spliced eye and a 45 meter Yale Poison Hi-vy 13mm with a tight eye that just fits a krab.

I use three split tail cords for VT type knot: Beeline, HRC, and Bail Out. Not sure which are CE for you across the pond. The knot I have used for about a year now is the one I was shown called the Michoacán, also known as the Martin knot. If I am on the crane hook and zipping down quickly I'll often use four wraps in tying the knot, yet If I am pruning and moving about a lot I'll use five wraps so it sets more securely.
