Would it have helped to put a rigging block up both legs? It would have compressed the union
-
The wraps and braids DO make a difference as they can increase the loading (less of them ) or decrease it (more of them) on the top of the hitch. Length of cord & relative cord length also factors. Diameter of cord, type along with rope selection all change things The performance of the hitch is truly a sum of it's parts
-
The number of wraps turns etc has everything to do with the behaviour of the hitch. Less will be "more sporty" to use your phrase & less likely to grab without some setting. More will be more dependable but with greater friction

This is my new favourite type of rigging:)

Nice boot but I wore the soles out in 9 months below the balls of my feet. Abrasion from dragging I think

Do you need irata or tower climbing & rigging tickets for the job?

Too bouncy to be practical Mike. If you want a narrow rope have you tried Samson velocity? It's the smallest in the hand of the 11.1mm ropes IMO

There is no control of when & where a sj or Lj self tends however a v.t. may never do so Selecting the system for you is experience & preference not fashion.

This government may be many things, but stupid is not one of them. It has been a nice diversion to bigger stories

As an enplyee you complain about critical issues - through a legal outlet eg a union you are vilified by a Tory government & press. If you don't complain when there real legitimate issues your screwed. What then? For those who say - make them self employed, no paid hold, sick pay etc - go get a bloody job. You obviously are not in a happy position so change it as opposed to complaining that someone else earns more money than you do. Without people making us aware of problems how can we progress? Oh I'm sorry we have to put-up & shut up, suffer in silence & let those that choose to exploit the system (from chavs to bankers) reap the rewards.

Hope it's not up your back as it would look like you were in the sheep fields during tupping season

Costs too much money. No benefits just hard labour & pay them a wage if they deserve it. Hunger makes man eager to work for a living.

When will people understand that if you don't have the balls to stand up & complain & act if you need too then you will be trampled irrespective how hard you work. Not brain surgery folks

With a 16" you need time lapse photography to record the cut!
