    Old Timers - Was The Blakes Hitch Pretty Cool When Released?

    I could live with that. In my head I translate them as StaticRopeSystem/Technique and MovingRopeSystem/Technique. I just want 3 letters. The Ds have different meanings depending on how they're arranged/capitalized, and I don't like that. I use arbitrary capitalization cause I want to, and I...

    Old Timers - Was The Blakes Hitch Pretty Cool When Released?

    I like "SRS" cause it's good companion for "MRS", which I prefer to DdrttDDTwhatever the hell. I like 3 simple letters, non case sensitive that explain what you're talking about. I'm fine with "SRT" also, but it doesn't mate up nice with MRS.

I started this stuff with the concept of using a separate cord as a hitch cause that's what I previously did, and my first rope wouldn't work hitched to...

    Old Timers - Was The Blakes Hitch Pretty Cool When Released?

    I'm sitting here playing with my new accessory cord, and screwing around with hitches. My blue/white cord will not work with a tautline at all. I can snug it up and get it to work once, but as soon as I slide it, it loosens and won't grab. It works in the black cord. The blue/white is a little...
