Sorry for the delay. I'm not sure why he didn't / doesn't rate it highly. He might tune in and give his opinion later.

No - but Rich H. reckoned it melted too easily.

I agree! Until I read a post on here, by Drew, showing his splice with the cover buried. I don't think it was LSK, but it was kernmantle. I'll try to find the post.

I've worked on a couple now and I don't like them much - it's interesting I suppose, but I find it hard work and at the end you've got what looks like a lop-sided eye splice! I admit that I got better as I practiced the splice - temporarily taping groups of strands etc. - but still find it murder to include the jacket in the final bury. I've seen Drew B's work on kernmantle and he seems to make it look easy!

Any time I've spliced LSK, I've ended up with an equally ugly splice too!

My pet hate is Pomeranians.

Do you mean if the two tails of the hitch are of different lengths so that the climber is effectively hanging on one tail of the hitch?
-
And instead of just pushing the strands immediately surrounding the extraction point to the side, you start four or five strands away (on all sides) so that you create more room in the centre of the area.

A crochet needle. Have you looked on the Samson website, or on YouTube? There are several methods.

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. -

The grammar belonging to the people - people's grammar - apostrophe showing ownership. -

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).
