Oh yes, sorry Sean I missed that question. Al.

I'm on Poison HiVee with 8mm Armor Pruss tied in the recommended VT. I keep trying other hitch knots but find most comfort with the 5 wrap VT. Yes I've seen all of Kevin's videos. All good stuff. I weigh 79 kilos in my birthday suit, sorry I don't have a photo! Sent from me to you using a...
