Interesting. I do both for canopy anchors. Depends on my mood and diameter of tie in point. I’ll still trust either one. I use the alpine with a steel biner when I get over 12” diameter. Usually when I’m down to a spar for the ease of adjusting the tail length for blocking down.

Interesting to see his simple method for tying a running-AB.

I really like that there is a way to tie a butterfly around something, cool! Thanks Richard.

 

[Burnham]

Good one.

That was pretty slick, the way he tied that butterfly.
Nice.

I didn’t want to be the first to say it for fear of sounding like the new guy that I am but I too was impressed with the way he tied the butterfly.

You... you... NEW GUY!!!

 

[Buddy]

Ya see, now my feelings are hurt.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Did my smilie break???

 

[gf beranek]

Yeah, that was slick. I want one of them breaking machines.

 

[Bermy]

Great, running AP, love it

 

[treebilly]

We’ve got a few breaking machines at work but the only data that comes out of them is “I just barely bumped it”

[Burnham]

Good one . I know guys from that crowd, I think.

I special ordered a hydraulic gauge with a drag pointer, a little math and you can figure out the pounds of force. I put it on my homemade log splitter, I've tested materials break strength with it.
