Came down sick and stayed home yesterday Looks like our upload speed got fixed so I uploaded some vids to my YT channel. Still have a pretty big backlog from all the Siberian elms this winter Same handle there if anyone wants to peruse, I enjoy feedback and discussion

I’ve always tied the taut line 2 under / 2 over. Used that exclusively from early 1970s until hitchclimber came out with eye to eye hitches (started with vt and other hitches until I found the Michoacán). Rope wrench (wood version) then a lot of the mechanicals out there, but ever tried the ZZ...

Original HH here as well...an original original :) VT, four wraps one crossover with 8mm beeline. (I think its 8mm...) Single line. It works just as well if I need to use it double from time to time. I untie it all at the end of the day. I have a lovely Akimbo in my ditty bag that Stig gave me...

Oh , 40 below is very common here at the homestead . The coldest Ive recorded here in the last 5 winters is -72°F ambient

I have tied it with more than 2/1.

How did it turn out @Wwallace52590 ?

Interesting, did not know that.

I'm stuck on the vt myself, love a 3/3 vt or a 4/3. Most everyone I know ended up preferring the michoacan. I only use a hitch for the lanyard though, been climbing on mechanical only for very long.

Does the piece need rigged away, or can it drop? Looks like a pretty straightforward snapcut scenario, maybe a little notch.

Dang, wish I'd seen it!

Mickey, you should post up a pic of your set up. So for your prussic, you use a prussic loop? A taut line hitch is "2 under 1 over" so I'd say it is similar to a prussic but it is tied with a tail of rope so the end of the taut line hitch is loose, unlike a prussic which has no loose end. And...

40 above is plenty 😆

It would keep me out, too. :/:

Welcome back!

I leave my HH installed. I slide my HH to where I need it. I use the untie/retie/ adjustment time instead as time for inspecting the rope. I SRT almost always. Safest self- rescue scenario to my way of thinking. Way easier for me, as well. Do you have a foot ascender or rope...

Or sun

Agreed, financially Usyk needed to win.

Depending on the tree I will use double rope . When spur climbing spruce . I choke the tree with a running bowline and into the HH .
