One day. One glorious day…

Shared with the ancient community.

Ask yourself whether you’d be happy if your neighbour tried to dictate to you what you did with a piece of your property.

Your ariel rescue turns up with no climbing kit
AHPP replied to thebeardeddove's topic in Picture Forum
This hasn’t gone how you hoped it would, @thebeardeddove Look up Paul Elcoat. You’ll find some sympathy there. -
Yep, I can see that. Can't visualise how well one would work on the piece as a double whip. Suspect that's complicating it too much again.
-
Realised after I said it that it would add way more and lose the slickness on the up because one is going to feed into the other from the side, not underneath. It's just a very neat trick with one. Not a big system thing.
-
Nice enough tree. Not massive. Leave it alone and reappraise in a few years or if problems become apparent.
-
I’ve never felt the need for any clever bollocks clipping different things to each one. Maybe it’s a bit of cut resistance (redundancy). Main thing is I just like it.
-
It’s no harder to tie and I like the stopper there. Seems to rub itself loose less than when in the loop. Plus if the stopper did come out, the main knot is way harder to shake apart like that.

How could we have forgotten about Svat?! This is his thread! Svat. Say you were working on a tree and someone looked at you. What would you do?

My mate was showing me a mini digger on Temu earlier. £1600 new, £700 delivery (and then probably duty etc). He reckoned it had a Kubota engine in it. Just can't be real.
-
Maybe it is stronger but this is strong enough.

That’s my usual rigging knot btw. Quantum rabbit bowline.

I assume you mean tail outside instead of tail inside. Mainly a hangover from tying into my rock climbing harness like that and that just being how it was easier there. Did also spend several hours one evening wondering whether one way was better than the other and doing a lot of loading and unloading, shaking, bending etc. Tail outside is harder to shake apart if you forget a stopper knot. Not a massive difference but still noticeable and repeatable. I usually use a double fisherman's stopper. Have rigged the proverbial moon on it.

Have you ever tried two in series? Like main point and redirect, both beckethreaded.
-
That’s excellent. Cheers.

That's a great tip.

He’s never been present enough in popular culture so I took the liberty of writing him into a song a few years ago. https://youtu.be/W4v6f-ixKnQ?si=ThedKiZhSWqfdazg

That makes more sense.
-
Now that looks a bit more useful. 500kg is a big piece. Do you often do that much from up top? Have you tried a crash gybe preventer to compare it to?
-
Can you post a picture of what you mean please.

What CS38 courses aren’t covering SRT?!

Didn’t fancy checking back for any answers then?

Belting last day of the pheasant season. Gave Sailor a bit more freedom than I have before, dropping the lead to let him snake off on short raids. Couple of slow recalls but overall win. He did successfully lose me before lunch. I’d stopped him to untangle his feet and was playing with my hair or something. Hare came past and that was that. A demonstration of how shit a hunter he is: I passed the hare on my way to get him. He didn’t catch it but he did himself get caught by one of the guns. On the penultimate drive, he went looking for a bird when I told him to, found it, stayed and then picked it up on my urging. Trotted past an elder statesman of the syndicate with it on the way out, wings sticking everywhere and just generally looking endearingly graceless. Made his day I think. Didn’t take any photos.
