So yesterday a package from Yale arrived. It was a 200 foot 9/16 Polydyne! So let's recap this. We buy the lowest end line that Yale sells and wrecked it. We then ended up getting it replaced by Yale with their high end line, and a longer one to boot. We never asked for the replacement, they...
The results are in. Yale techs inspected the line and found that the fibers were glazed and it was not just the coating. The glazing was very minor in my opnion. I wish I would have taken a picture of it. At any rate, the part that scares me is the results of the breat test. It broke at...
Here is a quick update. I Facebooked Jamie from Yale just to let him know the situation and see what he had to say about it. The first thing he asked if I would send the rigging line in to him so that they could inspect the damage and see if it was the coating that was melting or the fibers. I...

Here is the link. I got it when it was on sale so at least I didn't even pay that price. At least I can make some slings out of the good sections. We have always used Stable Braid and I don't know why we decided to try...
Anyone use that crap? Well I did about 10 times and it is garbage already. Literally garbage. Today we were removing a Red Oak and we glazed the s'not out of the rope on a piece of wood that was about 10 inches in diameter and about 8 ft long. The rope was running through a block and we had...
