I assume the 'pound' is the pond ie. the Atlantic ocean. Fairfield is in the USA.

It's fancy - no doubt. I'd like to see it being used, and if it was much better than current systems. I don't think that bolt would slide much if you needed to clip something else in while under load.

STOP IT, Rob! You're simplifying the problem!

A fair point, sir. -

And don't forget "other people's". -
As Rob said. You can also experiment with different combinations of wraps V braids until success shows its shy face. Good luck.

Well if you live, you learn. I've lived on the northwest coast of Ireland all my life and have never seen those on local pots - it just goes to show you, eh? I can see how they could be useful - for many wee jobs. Thanks.
-
I don't know what they are, any photos?
-
No worries. To answer your question - I'm not sure they were ever that strong. I hang my saw off one of the big ones on my right hip (the metal clip has been cable-tied open) and if I'm rigging with slings I add two of the wee ones to my harness. But I often remove the wee ones because they catch on the way up and deposit gear on the way down.

Barry, I'm only looking for a spacer for a Pinto Rig. How much would it cost to post to Northern Ireland? Dee

I have an Irish Terrier that was too easily riled by our Cocker Spaniel (sometimes the cocker looked at him the wrong way!). Anyway, I had him snipped and it did take the 'edge' off his skinheadedness. He still is very much an Irish - but saves the fireworks for vermin and visitors. Dee

And I can remember when this was all fields.

She seems to be left-handed. That saw looked a bit new ..... wait a minute ..... she might not have even been a proper chainsaw operative!

I reckon you're right - especially if you had previously wound the line on tightly. I would probably end up pulling the line out into a loose heap and then firing off the shot bag - thus defeating part of the item's purpose.

Consider one of the Petzl Navaho harnesses. Or if this is too expensive, one from Singing Rock - these two harnesses still have side D rings. I don't know if you'll need the Ds. And as usual - try before you buy (if possible).

4mm - 6mm stainless steel, plastic coated. Round off the ends.

Best personal first aid kit recommendations please?
WeeDee replied to ^TANK^'s topic in Climbers talk
1. Effective training. 2. Only include what you can use. 3. Gaffa tape. The rest is detail. -
You might be right, Spud. I'm hoping that some of the Para-Olympians will be considered at least.
-
It's usually under low loads that a tail might creep. As slack is taken from a system, and the unloaded hitch is being shunted forward, there exists a moment when the hitch cord is not pulling tighly on its splices. This is when I would be more confident in a splice that's been locked.
-
Or two fat ladies? Bingo!

Welcome to the forum, Elliot. How do you know about this? Bad experience?
-
It's not really a question of right or wrong. The branch produces a lot of friction - a cambium saver produces less - a rope guide produces less still. The good thing about a friction hitch is that you can adjust the set-up so that it provides just the required amount of friction an individual climber wants.
-
I agree. I've used North Face Duffels for 18 years and I've still got the originals. Look up photos of any expedition and you'll see these bags on mules, sherpas, camels, roofracks etc. They are expensive but also long-lived.

She was taking the offer of CONTACT lenses a bit too far.
