    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
  7. Tommy_B
    That was the issue Rich. They have a potential to not engage at all because the internal spring wears away at the case

    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?
  12. Tommy_B
    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 had Strauss stuff in the past and its decent. Husqvarna one is surprisingly cheaper

    Have they started shrinking or have you started growing?

    I have a Stretch air t shirt that has to be easily 12 years old and is holding up fine. Only a couple of little pulls on it. Normally I'll go to Matalan and pick up the basic t shirts for 4 quid each and wear them for best, when they get dirty or get food medals on them, they go to work drawer. Quite fancy the Husqvarna technical ones.

    I've got some of these. They're decent. Slightly thicker than the Nike Pro ones imo and hold up well That hurts

    Road cycling recently. Enjoy splicing and then progressed onto making nets or hammocks etc just to see if I could. My Dad has been going to Archery for a few years and always fancied having a go so might go along with him

    Just step in every one you can find then ask to go inside for the loo. Grind it into their carpets for good measure
