I did feel the same. Have tried the sj but im not very ambidextrous

 

This looks good though because it seems to engage and disengage in the same way as a prusik but I'm hoping it's going to give a consistency a prusik cant.

 

Plus i seem to cook through ap far too quickly

Try a different cord then, I use Silverstreak, cant remember the last time I changed it. Plus it is SO much cheaper!

My problem is that I need a heat resistant cord, but I cook it too quick. I love swinging in trees and that's what glazes them.

 

I cooked an ap prusik easily in a weekend on a big reg gum with some great swings.....so much fun

It looks like there would be a bit of sit back like when using a VT or other friction knot. There is no sitback with LJ or SJ

[Bing!]

Onelab, you should look into a Bulldog.

There is about 1/4 inch of sitback on a Bulldog and as I go along it is becoming more and more 'natural'. As for whats wrong with a bit of rope,well... Nothing.

Ask the LJ,SJ, unicender, Bulldog and petzl boys, they must have a reason.
