My current throw line setup , is a two in one. Using the stein 1.8 mm yellow line and splicing with this stuff 2 mm polypropylene line which is quite stiff. For me it's the best of both worlds , one side strong and static for pulling ropes up and the throwing end weak enough too break if need be. Here's some pictures for throw line splicing.

Freezing temperature here in Berlin today , warmed my fingers using the exhaust from the 200 t . You Can't do that with your battery models.

After 22 years wearing these helmets , today was the first time it saved me from serious injury. I was pulling on a rope when suddenly something give way sending me backwards smacking my head of the pavement . I even wear a helmet for cycling having lost a friend due to a cycling accident. Stay safe and use your Protective clothing.

It's quite heavy being made from steel , but the man in the shop said he's used it , and liked it. Personally I'm not interested in it , but maybe it's something for somebody.
