    Rico is a legend. Might only have been his second pro boxing fight and his first was 15 years ago or something. As I said he is a legend. One of the greatest Heavyweight kick-boxers to ever live. He is no mug and an absolute monster. Peter Fury trained him for 6 months to get him on the...

    Pros and Cos of various friction hitches in the trees

    It's a standard hitch, useful for adjusting a tarp guyline. If set properly, one can reach out from under the tarp to retension in the rain as thing stretch. We used to tarp camp most of the year in a previous chapter of work life.

    I still climb on my original HH. And HH2. Are you using it SRT or Doubled rope/ MRS?

    Pros and Cos of various friction hitches in the trees

    I use a Blake’s occasionally if it’s on a rope already, little difference to a prussick imo. I’ve never been entirely sure what ‘taut line’ means

    Pros and Cos of various friction hitches in the trees

    Gotta love it- self tending and ease of tending imo is arguably the main attraction of most any hitch, mechanical or otherwise. And you don't like it :drink: "Life finds a way." You use a prussic- jc if you've used a taut line or a Blakes?

    Most times, most places. But, most tarps don't care for our winds.

    Yeah, got a zig zag, I found the self tending very annoying. You think you have enough slack to get out on a branch or whatever and you get held back.

    What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

    Raining in Northern Arizona this morning. Little brother's new trailer has a leak, which means he's panicking because he procrastinated. Shipped me home to build a snow roof over this thing, and has spent the whole time dilly dallying and we accomplished nothing of note. He's also irritated me...
