    The amount of pages being irrelevant

    Absolute nonsense

    Hi Luke, he's referring to me....possibly 😁 Feel free to drop me a message here.

    Doesn’t hold anywhere near the clout here as it does in the states. IMO it’s a personal record of achievement and not much more

    One of my previous customers use to buy theirs custom made extra tacky, said it was the only way to keep oil on the bar working in the woods in the middle of summer. Downside was it was an absolute pig to pour out in the cold weather!

    I definetly wouldnt have removed that. In a young tree when its only just forming then yes, but not in a mature tree. IMO this has the potential to create a similar effect as if you were to remove the bordering trees of a plantation.

    I can cut a straight line with a chainsaw no probs, just not with anything else!

    I’m probably not the one to ask, but I’ve put the same treatment on elm yes and oak now and it came out nice everyone. Just a case of choosing the best colour wax. I used clear on the yew and dark oak on the elm and oak

    Danish oil then briwax on top

    You're really going to struggle to keep on top of that. Standard practice is to just re-pollard, usually every 5 years.

    Is this all because someone said you're not as funny anymore? 😀

    Mark is right. But after that happens shortening the bridge changes the centre of gravity and prevents the harness dragging up your groin. It does give you the sense you are going to tip backwards at first.

    Look forward to seeing you there Carl

    My last post in the subject, from someone who knows far more than me in the subject and probably most on the forum You are right in referencing EN1891 which provides a definition of low stretch kernmantle rope (fundamentally any rope that has a core and a cover) hence the name kern (core) mantle (cover) like a mantlepiece around a fire. Traditionalists will generally cite a true ‘kernmantle’ has a load bearing core with parallel core strands, Yale XTC as an example whilst generally is a kernmantle rope, the core strands are twisted. As you know typically arb rope constructions 16, 24, 32 strand ropes are core and cover (kernmantle) they may be single braid or double braid construction and the load bearing characteristics are generally 30% core, 70% cover with single braids and 50:50 with double braids. I say those are general as the ratios applied by manufacturers for different rope constructions does vary.

    Whats that supposed to mean?
  21. Steve Bullman
    @puwer any thoughts?
  22. Steve Bullman

  23. Steve Bullman
    All good points but....

    Rightio, be it known I won’t have misinformation knowingly shared on this platform, so for anyone reading I hope they understand that you are blatantly wrong. snowflake indeed 😀

    Havent you just contradicted yourself? If they are 50/50 core to sheath then how are you arguing ALL the strength is in the core. ps, i don't appreciate your bull shit comment. I rarely comment on technical matters unless I have some inkling of what i'm talking about.
