You sure about that cord? I'm used to the climbing stuff so that cord looks weird to me.Double braid cordage that I used to use on a sailboat.
The paracord might be a bit long, if it works fine but if it needs some tweaking try shortening the paracord that attaches the tender.Alright, am I doing this right? Thanks

The whole thing is sketching me the hell out in a "not sure if serious" manner. That just doesn't look safe at all.You sure about that cord? I'm used to the climbing stuff so that cord looks weird to me.
I have been setting up my daughter's boyfriend to hunt out of a sitdrag. We have everything but the ropeman. If you can find them, they are 45 bucks or more. Imagine my delight when I stumbled onto this thread. So I sewed up my own simple version. Light, quiet and works like a charm.
Final version uses a much shorter prusik. Basically, a two inch "tag end" so it becomes a short reach and appears to bind quicker.
Good stuff guys. Thank you. Pete

I've only ever used 9mm HTP (haven't joined the OpLux crowd yet) and that runs through it uber-freely. I would imagine 9.5 would work. I'll try some 10.5mm this evening and let you know if that fits.does anyone know if a 3/8 (9.5mm) rope will feed through those kong keychains or is it too big?
You can fit 10mm through the large hole in the Kong mini figure 8. However, I didn't test it out - it might be too tight to be user-friendly, not sure.Side question, does anyone know if a 3/8 (9.5mm) rope will feed through those kong keychains or is the bigger hole too small?
I want to say he's talking about the ropeman but I could be wrong
No, I think I remember someone emailed Beal and they did no recommend using the cut and tied Jammy in our applications
Yeah I wanted to try out the klemheist first just to see if I could keep the jammy as is instead of cutting it. Just testing it last night the kong tended the hitch better than I could have imagined. Super smooth. I'll test it out at ground height when I've got a chance before I get in a tree but it seems like the only drawback will be keeping it dressed. I'll report back.
Thanks Dan!You can fit 10mm through the large hole in the Kong mini figure 8. However, I didn't test it out - it might be too tight to be user-friendly, not sure.
Tethrd discussed its use with Wild Country (the manufacturer) and they approved the use in saddle hunting scenarios.

Also what rope is it on?I’ll wouldn’t do that. Climbing cordage is too cheap to be experimenting.

Nothing published but talk to Ernie and he can fill you in.Is this published info and do you have a link to it? I have never heard that Tether discussed and WC approved RM 1 use for the way we use it.

It's a frickin rock climbing ascender ...

You are at tension all the time. We aren't using it to catch a fall.If it's not published by Wild Country, I would take it with a grain of salt. I'm pretty confident that they would not approve their product for some of the uses I have seen on this site. It's an ascender and is designed for use with static loads, not as fall protection.

Call Wild Country and ask.

Beal's response is posted here. I do not remember it being like that at all...Your response came through kind of weird... are you saying Beal said not to cut and tie?
And for reference their response linked :Beal's response is posted here. I do not remember it being like that at all...
