My Bashlin Alloys must be knocking in 20years old now. I have replaced the top Velcro pads and in my second set. Could do with a new set tbh. Bottom strap tore last year so I stuck some others I found. A friend had some ones h used for his Buckingham spikes. Worked a treat and good as new. Or at least they will be once I buy another set of top Velcro pads. I have toyed with the idea of getting some newer ones. I’ve tried a few other brands but none feel as comfy as the Bash Alloys. Plus the cost of them. “Holy empty wallet Batman”. I think I paid about 280 quid for my Bashlins. Now they are mega moolah!

No definitely not inside out. Running a VT makes the rope twist as it goes through the braids. You can alleviate it a bit by doing the braids over-under, under- over but there will still be some twist. I did stick a swivel on my bridge thinking it would help the last bit of twist but it made it 10 times worse so I took it off and sold it. I have seen people integrate a swivel into the BDB, Rope wrench, roperunners and other SRT devices. I just wanted to see a picture of the new RRV with a swivel.

I used to use a swivel in my VT and removed it quicker than it took to fit it to my bridge. They are not for me as the exacerbated a small problem of the ropes twisting into a bigger problem. I have always kept away from them since. I have been on Roperunners now since the first editions. I just wondered how it would be integrated into the new Notch RR. Does it still cause horrendous twisting of the rope?

Wordle 1,267 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I will take that as I have a bit of a massive hangover.

Is the swivel useful? Do you like the swivel? Or did you just use it because you could? Could you post a picture of it?

where did you that picture of my old gaylander from? You bitch!

I remember Mr Spoon. A few years later, in our late teens, myself and quite a few friend regularly went to the moon. Usually after a morning of mushy pickiing.

I went into an ENT clinic after lots of problems with my ears. They stuck a camera up my nose and asked if I had ever broken it. Yes I replied, maybe 5 or 6 times. He replied I can see that as well as a detached septum. That was the cause of a lot of ear problems for me apparently. I got some nose spray and was told if it didn’t get better he would break my nose. I went back 6 months later and told him it was better. My ears are still ****************ed but I didn’t get my nose broken for the 7th time.

That’s really my take on it. Why haven’t Bezzos and Musk got holiday lets up there?

I think they were faked. Stanley Kubric was a great director. But then again I am only an amateur Astrophysicist 🤪

I have pretty much a full Moose carcass spread over 2 chest freezers. I trimmed of a load of the left over meat and froze it into tennis ball size bits - 200g and then froze the lot with the idea of going threw the bones and ribs as Kira got through them. After the femur fiasco I reckon it will go to fox bait instead. She loves playing/chewing with the leg and hoof with skin left in it. The has nibbled the hooves a bit but nothing like the femur business.

I gave my dog a moose thigh bone one day. I expected her to gnaw in it for a bit. 49 minutes later it was about 15cm long instead of 45cm. She had cracked it open and had all the marrow from the inside. Catiledge etc and the bits of meat left ion the outside. She is usually good with bones but this one made her squirt for about 4 days. Couldn’t take her to work and we had trouble leaving her home for longer than a couple of hours. Luckily the neighbour looked in on her and walked her midday. Maybe it was because it had been running around a week earlier as opposed to a bone from the butchers.

Been cold and dry here for the most part. Had a sprinkling of snow about 2 weeks ago but that went. It started snowing this afternoon and windy. Winter is coming, Wools have been in for the last month or so. -8c yesterday morning trying to get a throwline in to a large Elm. Almost maxed out a 60m rope with a base tie. It wasn’t too bad once we got going though.

Horses for courses. I hate the Android OS and am pretty invested in Apple. Having a a couple of MacBooks and an iMac in the house makes everything pretty seamless.

I don’t think it likes the snow.

Most of the time yes. I even half hitch the chain sometimes to shorten them rather than shortening them at the ring.
-
It is just after the 26 minute mark. Neat trick when it works. I don't reckon I will ever use it though. I don't seem to have a problem with chains, use them for most crane jobs.

You still have got time mate.

What is a patient sling?
-
Forgot to mention it was only for the last cut. The bin fall off in random directions so not really that applicable if your are up there.

Plus some of that Highland Shortbread. May as well complete the set.
