    Since all they all are is wraps, I'm gonna stick by my description :lol: the hitch hiker terminates by stopper knots, the autobloc terminates by clipping the carabiner and is made from a loop instead of a single, and the helical is terminated in a bowline which simply sets the length and does...

    At the end, i was running a vt again, and was about to switch back again I like it that much lol. It's actually one of the easiest friction hitches to tie, wraps and a bowline, and i simply added a slip knot to make it a closed system (forget where i saw that first). Less sit back, releases...

    The ends get that way Cory if you don't keep them wrapped with tape. It's seen some work :lol: honestly, it is kinda weird that it doesn't bug me, but that's honestly how rope gets with a traditional whipping only. John, i learned it from storricks vertical devices site, which unfortunately...

    Helical hitch. My favorite, because you can infinitely adjust it, and because it's a type of French prussic (very close to an autobloc), it has the same attributes as the vt. It's usually tied with a tail that is clipped, but i use a slip knot to clip it to the carb, and then terminate with a...

    Very well put Dave, and no, i was looking for far more. That's why i have waited until this came out, and this specifically. Although if i did it full time, i would be pissed at myself for waiting this long to go to a full mechanical. The rope wrench i used was awesome, but to be honest i never...

    This right here is what i bought it for, and it doesn't disappoint. It's like the world's best set up hitch. Very little sit back compaired to a vt, and it locks like an ascender. Just those 2 things alone will make my life easier.

    More than i already have? No not really. I'll be working it this week tho, very much looking forward to it. Got a quick little 2 tree job, a pine and a cherry, no real limb walks tho, just making it fit. The other jobs are kinda grunt type ones, and hopefully a lift this coming weekend. I might...

    Thumbs up to you Kevin, your insight, labor, and mind bending imagination simply boggles the mind of what can be done on a rope. Humans have been using and climbing ropes since before the wheel was invented, but what you have done for our industry and work at heights in general is astonishing...

    I'm not necessarily worried, but i could see how some would be. I've had branches ride down my climbing line before, but simply grabbing the device would lock it in place. I forgot to mention that, i kinda got in the habit with the wrench to squeeze the tether and the hitch together when doing...

    The drooling never stopped, in fact it got worse!!! Only had a little bit before the wife made me come inside and be a parent, but i did have time to figure some stuff out. First off, for me, brand new, first mechanical ever other than a petzl rig so I'm still green, the bollard probably needs...

    Just checked my email, guess it will be here Thursday. Coming from nc if that helps figure out shipping times for people. I haven't been this anxious to get something in a long time!

    I don't want to hijack this thread any more, but here's a video of a rope walker setup that uses a chest box (homemade). Basically ignore the life support ascender and think of an extended bridge hooked to what will very soon be a rrp. Skip to 330, then imagine he got drunk and then hit with a...
