I've seen ones where the hole eye is covered. Will see if I can find a picture

There is a good majority of the industry that can't use a rake properly so I'd say the likelihood of them using a crosscut saw is slim

For the life of me, I cannot get my head round how a locking brummel with a cover is done. I need to see a video if anyone is keen to make one!!

The Guilty of Treeson chap has a very good video about porting a 200t on YouTube for anyone interested

One is 20 and the other is twenty too

Very good! I like that! One is 20 and the other is 22

What's the rope? All splices theoretically can pull out although in practice, it's only really straight buries on Hollow braid which are likely or rigging lines that have a loose cover, which is why they are lock stitched

I'd be well happy with that in fairness

Turns out I'm at the age where I'm over the moon getting a Barbeque cover and Cardigan. Have a good day Arbtalk

Lots on Instagram. There is The Splice Witch who has done quite a few videos about it -

Haven't read that article. Ill give it a look. You could well be right, I only heard about the spring issue -

That was the issue Rich. They have a potential to not engage at all because the internal spring wears away at the case -
It looked cool didn't it!!

You still climbing Ian or just machinery these days?

Fancied trying this. Was decent. Homemade KFC nuggets. The girls inhaled them😄

Where abouts in the UK are you thinking?
-
Yes it can. Unless we're talking about different knots in which case I apologise. A sliding double fisherman's knot has the 2 opposing knots in "the middle" and 2 loops on either side so it looks like a bow tie. If the carabiner is clipped into the opposite side, it can pull through. The reason I know this, is from teaching students to climb and watching someone tie this very knot and then having to demonstrate to them what can go wrong.
-
Plus, if a very specific set of conditions are met, you could clip into the wrong part and it pulls itself out

I use the filtered posts in the activity stream the most

Whats the best t-shirt for climbing trees?
Tommy_B replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Climbers talk
I had Strauss stuff in the past and its decent. Husqvarna one is surprisingly cheaper -
