I personally think the Reflex looks awesome as a "one device does everything" affair. I'll be giving it a few months while the keen kids are guinea pigs though.
-
Any mechanical will self tend. It can be a double edged sword like that. If your lad wanted the best of both worlds I'd suggest a hitchclimber setup with a 75cm e2e tied with a catalyst hitch. Requires a bit more user input but that not the worst thing in the world. Until you want to pull slack into your system for any reason and the device just eats it.

It was a very rapey name. The pub was "the fawcett inn" and they had their own cider... I know it was 20 years ago but still.
-
Anyone who heeds those signs and turns around is a coward. Risk it all and if you're wrong you unhitch the chipper and turn around with your pride intact. Same as those pointless temporary lights when there's nothing to avoid. Most of the time they don't have planning permission anyway. Fair game.

I've drank in that pub. They were serving their own house Cider at the time. Can you guess what it was called?

When i get hired in with a mewp I usually end up doing at least 5x more cutting than I would do from a rope. The tendency is to one hand a out more too. It takes its toll on my right elbow/ shoulder

Or is the term "freelance climber"

Endorsed by the Arb Asociation too, for your reassurance.

AA AA4956 Car Battery Charger Maintainer UK Plug Fully Automatic with Crocodile Clamps Eyelet Connectors As Used By AA Patrols,Black/Yellow,1.5 Amp 6 V/12 V, Packaging May Vary : Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo AMZN.EU AA AA4956 Car Battery Charger Maintainer UK Plug Fully Automatic with Crocodile Clamps Eyelet... i bought this one ages ago and it's been pretty good at charging my truck battery overnight since the alternator handed in its notice. Charges until full then stops. cheap enough for me

What is it if not learned behaviour?
-
It's a bit slippy to begin with. Same as most new lines. Seems to work with most systems though. Are you still hitch based? It looks like the newer ropes are slightly better, but personally I'd reject being rescued by someone climbing on marlow
-
On that basis the "neo nazi" movement must be growing by an alarming rate. I imagine it's easier when they can't challenge your opinions.
-
Have you tried Kalimba, Matty? I've got a couple of lengths of it and so far it's my favourite. Only very slightly more stretch than Squir (which I also have) but available with a splice and a lot nicer in the hand. With either of these ropes is recommended to soak them overnight and allow to fully dry before first use to get the best out of them.

Who's your youngest sons dad, mate?

Credit where it's due, it was a fine peice of prose. I haven't had an erection worth mentioning since i posted that compliment. Possibly a coincidence, but I won't be taking that chance.
-
I genuinely quite enjoyed that. It's the music Ed Sheeran would've wrote if his parents had done their job and beaten him from time to time.
-
So you're planning a move to Thailand?
-
What's your plan Rich? I fine it hard to beleive Norway is bad enough for you to contemplate returning to this godforsaken shithole
-
The one "current" boxer he's fought was Tommy Fumbles and he lost that so it really goes to show where he is in the grand scheme of things.
-
If Aus is anything to go by, I'd be denied FAC because of an argument with my bin man, whereas a someone on a terrorist watchlist would retain their firearms priveleges for fear of upsetting anyone. Two tier ring a bell?
-
No, they would buy the market wholesale and attempt to sell on for an outrageous margin. Ironically leaving firearms somehow less accessible to the general public...
-
Personally, it would restore my faith in humanity somewhat if it turned out to be an "Ahmed". As long as he wasn't just embarrassed about the clumsy mass shooting and wanted to show the shooter hope it was done...
-
I dare say it might have been prudent to completely neutralise the threat. Especially with another shooter at play. There's a saying amongst 2A advocates in the states: "I'd sooner be judged by twelve than carried by six" Fair okay to that bloke though. He'll never pay for a drink again.

Thowlining paraphernalia recommendations

Go with the thicker option if you don't want cauterised fingers every throw -
Let's see a photo of the Chiappa then? I quite fancy one. Have you looked at the Zulus 2-12x? Looks like a lot of scope for the money
