    A new winch line to consider... Unitrex

    I'm working on a short vid....stay tuned! I do have some samples. This is some crazy stuff! I think neoprene is the wrong word. It's a parallel dyneema core coated in latex, then wrapped in polyester. love nick

    A new winch line to consider... Unitrex

    Crazy, in just the past 2 hours I have been talking with folks at yale about it. Here's the update... Not exactly sure about the pricing. The splice is do-able, but maybe not for the average tree climbing splicer. They are developing a custom termination attachment to make it the...

    A new winch line to consider... Unitrex

    It is available now, but it has to be purchased....through me! they are working on getting it to bishop, wesspur, etc...but that'll be a while. Bloody hands...that's reason enough to switch from steel. I'll get prices soon, then we can talk more about it. love nick

    Willie said it right. I've seen that happen, but I've been able to pull it out by hand with little force. love nick

    A new winch line to consider... Unitrex

    Rich, you are spot on in your analogy. However, the average tree guy (not the average online treeguy) but the average treeguy doesn't have someone there that can really show them how and why to climb SRT, or do a splice. That's where I was going with the splicing thing. Hand the average tree...

    A new winch line to consider... Unitrex

    I'm working on the spliceability part. The directions for it are different than what we are used to doing. I'll give it a shot in a few weeks here and I'll be able to tell if it is a do-able shot for the average tree guy. For reference point, and you guys can tell me if you disagree, I...

    A new winch line to consider... Unitrex

    I'm getting the prices...it might be a few days until that gets worked out. I'll report back as soon as I know. Yes, it is spliceable. A sample is being sent to me so I will be able to more accurately address the knotability issue. And lj, you're right- the parallel core really pushes the...

    A new winch line to consider... Unitrex

    Okay, a couple weeks ago I alluded to a new winch line. I finally have the data sheet for Unitrex, by Yale Cordage. It is a triple braid with a NON braided dyneema/spectra core (like what Amsteel, black widow, etc are made of), a neoprene layer, then a suuuuper tight polyester cover over that...
