Hitchhiker rope preference?

Niether is cougar blue, but you can get it if you want it

From another recent thread, It appears that Kernmaster or Hedera are the two favourites that are available in UK.

Kernmaster runs lovely with the beeline but having tried it on some cougar blue couple weeks back then I'd say if you can afford it then cougar if not the Yale kern is really nice

I've been really happy with Poison Ivy, and it's colored variations (pink! ). I'm not sure if it's available in the UK. All this talk about Cougar Blue has me interested. Never seen it for sale in the States, though.

Thanks for all the advice and replys on this and the kern vs hedera thread, i ended up getting kernmaster in the end, i really like the feel of it, i just cant quite get my hitch hiker hitch set up nice! This is my own problem though, i think the hh is sensitive to different ropes and I'm just gonna have to keep tinkering with it till i get it as nice as i had it on my blue tongue:)

I've never had a problem getting the HH and it's hitch dialed in, I've tried about 9/10 different cords and they've all worked very well. What cord are you using at the minute and what hitch?

[Old Mill Tree Care]

I've never had a problem dialling in a hitch on the HH. It's just a case of finding the tension that's suits you.

 

The rope cord / combo makes a difference as it does on a DdRT Hitch Climber.

Have you decided on a new rope Al?

 

Has anyone used ocean vectran for a hitch, it's 6mm?

[Old Mill Tree Care]

I reckon I'll get the Kernmaster, unless anyone comes forward and says the Cougar Blue is much better.

Having said that, I like my Poison HiVee because it's 11.7mm thick. fells nice and is quite easy to grip when I need to. I don't fancy a thinner rope for that reason. I quite like the idea of 55m of the HiVee Calamine.

 

Probably end up getting the Kern. Santa is coming soon so you never know......
