We have a lot of glacial tailings in my area so burning up teeth and whatnot happens often. But $100 an hour is not worth it IMO regardless of machine. If I am running an Alpine Magnum I'd want like $6,000 an hour

I don't hate it but I would still want 6 grand an hour to run it.

Haha... yes. The AM is greedy with your strength, stamina and concentration...
The first job was awful.... even got to find metal and blasted the teeth....
But alas.... now that the Rayco has entered the room... well things have changed a bit.
God Bless Hydraulics.

Picked up a few things...
3/8" stable braid... Looking nice. Same strength as lightweight 1/2". Compact. Light rigging and speed lining.

Yup.. that 3/8ths is lovable. Soooooo light. Great for solo zip lines and lowering limbs.

Yeah after working with you Stephen... I now have a bag of 200' 3/8" stablebraid and a rigging wrench... it's awesome...

David Stice was spot on when he recommended it. As he is with many things.
I've even made a prussik from it once. Was lacking one. Cut a small piece and made like a foot loop Prussik out of it.

An Alpine Magnum is definitely on my wish list. Preferably with the 3120 PH.
Wonder how hard it'd be to build one. Probably easiest to go with a big demo saw that's already made to drive a belt.

The first zip line in this,video was a 120 foot ponderosa pine done with a brand new 200 foot hank of 3/8ths stable braid.

Got 150’ of Teufelberger Xstatic 11.7mm.
Supposed to be nice paired with Akimbo. I’m kinda digging the colors

I dunno... as it wears it might become more and more camouflaged, like that Poison Ivy.
It IS nice looking!

Have you climbed on it yet?

No, it just came today.
Good reviews out there about it though, probably someone here that uses it.
So far I’ve only had the Akimbo work well with Fly. I’ll probably use the Xstatic just for SRT.
