Heh I started this thread so do I have to moderate Mike's post? :P

distel=distal same thing? If so I've found Tophopper's pic in the first page of the thread, thanks. Remember I live in isolation except for this interweb.:D

Cool yah that's what I meant by 'kinda long' the whole hitch length/set-up will need to be revised but man oh man was it nice to use yesterday compared to the ole prussic. Still got some work to do though it would appear. So a distal should help to not let all the slack fall back through when...

So I've tried a VT adjuster out set-up like this on tachyon. It's a little long I know but had to ditch the prussic. Anyways I'm loving it except for when I park it all the slack falls through the VT, any simple way around this?

Lmao!:lol:

Tom I see you've used a thimble for tying onto your ropesnap. Do you feel this is important from a safety point of view (bend radius) or is there another reason you prefer it that way? Also wondering why people would choose a double over a triple fishermans for tying off? Is that a Distel...

Oh yah ever since I got back into the trees(last couple of years) I've been climbing with a rope. Much mo betta! About a month or so ago I ran into one of my old bosses and was trying to explain to him how much better of ways there are to climb out there, but he wasn't hearing none of it...

I'm setting up a length of Tachyon with a aluminum snap on one end(triple fishermans I'm not a splicer) and then gonna expirement with hitches for the adjuster. I haven't decided 100% on the overall length yet but will probably start long and see how that goes, easier to shorten than lengthen I...

Oh yah and to me a flipline is for flipping up a tree (spiking). To me it becomes a lanyard when used for work positioning or as a second TIP.:P tomatoe, tomato.:D

Just to clarify my point. I climbed for five years rigging spars with a belt and one wirecore flipline, no climbline. Have you tried to cut through one? Basically anything is cuttable but a wirecore flipline is gonna take a hell of alot more to accidentaly cut through then a non wirecore...

I prefer a wire core flipline for going straight up a excurrent evergreen around here. Everything is metal in my set-up for that, attachments and adjuster. I may not follow all of the same rules as most here if I just have to go up a straight spar knocking off the limbs. :/:

I'll agree with that and that's why I was asking about lanyard set-ups. My flipline set-up is fine my lanyard lacks. But my new lanyard set-up is gonna be kick ass! Raining this morning otherwise I'd be giving it a whirl.8)

You're gonna climb really tiny little trees?:?

And that's spliced and heat shrunk(shrink)?

Who uses non steel core as a flipline?:P :lol:See now that's the kind of info I'm looking for. Do you prefer the mechanical adjuster due to pitch?

So me and HC are the only ones that use lanyards? C'mon here help a backwoods Canadian brother out would ya!:P I'm leaning towards setting up a 7/16" line with one of my shiny new aluminum rope clips on one end, using a vt for an adjuster but I'm just wondering about the length. Best to leave...

I know basic stuff. I'm still using a 2in1 with a prussic for my lanyard(or a steel core flipline for spiking) :(. What in your opinion is the ultimate lanyard set-up? rope, length, hardware and type of adjuster?
