Tub , cube or pizza box is the way to go. The problem with the foldable cube ( Falteimer & Co ) is the actual folding of it .

Probably the best way , is buy same thick stiff throw line and use a big shot . No messing around and almost anybody can use a big shot.

Thanks Paul

Anchor hitch with a slip.

Sorry , i didn't make that clear i was referring to the stein throw line products. The 1.5 mm being the best seller of the two.

I didn't like using the yellow stein throw line , for the first few weeks it was brilliant until the coating wore off . So i thought the two in one would be good solution and I'm quite satisfied. Having said that , i've been told everyone buys the pink stein throw line. But still , i like being able to break the stuff if need be.

If the throw line is twisted or kinky , i find using a Munter hitch smooths things out well.

Mind you , nothing's perfect

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. Splicing a 2 mm line into a 1.8 mm line helps if you use a fid of some kind Sent from my iPad using Arbtalk

The helmet seems ok

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.

How's this [ame] [/ame]I usually have three or four sharp chains with me which can be quickly changed. I knew somebody who carried a black and decker workmate in their van for sharpening and maintenance .
