yes. remember that your rope will now effectively have twice the stretch as before so some people use a less dynamic rope. i find virtually all double braid ropes work well for srt and dbrt.
-
what dbrt gear do you not need in srt? apart from a pulleysaver/ropeguide i still use virtually all of mine. jus' sayin'... my opinion is that SRT is brilliant but so is DbRT-they both have there place and different trees will warrant using a different technique. i think its detrimental to think that one solely replaces the other.
-
yeah if your that keen bro-do reason you have to stay in the UK. NZ or OZ would both be a good option..or any country
-
yeah, i love never dealing with firewood-just leave it all onsite 99% of the time.
-
yeah bro
-
bro thats going to get so stuck... if you cant splice just put the tubing on mid way down the rope, positioned in a bight. then form the desired size of eye (remembering to keep the tubing in th eye) and stitch the 2 parallel ropes together remembering to add a stopper knot at the end of each leg of rope, the pinto prussic will keep both legs together as well during use-the stitching just keeps it tidy and is not a strength component..

Sailors corner or burnsco marine down in the viaduct area. Can't remember the exact address bro
-
theres a new bollard coming out in NZ very soon.....its quite cool.
-
Probably made on the same Machine with exactly the same materials. It's just that the colour effects how the rope feels, I've got a few different tachyons and can say for sure they all feel different.
-
No there not bro, they may be on paper but feel totally different in use..
-
It may of been the first time ever that I have used 2 climbing lines as i did not trust any of the branches.. It has that horrible wobble of decayed weak wood....
-
You probably should make a trip to NZ one day tone...
-
After climbing that tree I gotta say that it's days are numbered..... But hey, I'm just a climber.
-
Chill tony. It's what I got told by a mycology guy here. And for the record you see very few fungi in the bush of NZ.
-
It's not the thing I generally Ever look for...
-
Good find tony- I've never seen that site before.
-
But you've gotta remember that in NZ the birds don't have wings, the rocks float and there are glaciers amongst sub tropical rainforest. It is a weird and wonderful place that sometimes defies logic...
-
Cheap yachting braid
-
Yeah I Do know that Quercia rubra isn't native tony...the point was more that the volcanic soil is low in mycorrhiza compared to Europe..
-
I've been told nzs natives have evolved to use very little mycorrhizae so the soil has a very low content of it. I think it's Te reason you see few fungi in the woods of NZ
-
I climbed the tree a while ago- a lot of the major limbs are very compromised.....
-
To be honest Ian, I think that tree is kinda poked. I'd try and replant from the same stock and accept the loss. I'll chase up that ground inoculation solution- its called maltaflor.never know, it may help. And mulch to the drip line- but then again some of the limbs are very buggered. Ah god, I don't know.....
-
After working a 22hr day yesterday - I'd say lack of sleep is just ad dangerous as drink or drugs. But they can't test for that can they?
-
No offense David but how come it took 12 mins??
-
Bugger bro, I was there all day today..
