    Tether rope recommendations

    I was wondering how long does everyone use their tether for or how long they last? And is there any that people recommend? I have Tethrds ropes, the 11mm got a bulge in the eye within a year and Tethrd was great with a warranty. But then the 8mm which was used for a year and half now the prusik...

    Tethrd Phantom’s Bridge Knot

    Hey y’all, been a while since I’ve posted but I was looking at the Phantom saddle and though it’s quite cool, I noticed some things that rang my safety alarm: the Amsteel bridge is adjustable with a prusik of exactly the same diameter and material. Is there a climbing instructor, arborist, or...

    Oplux rope with ropeman1

    Does anyone run oplux rope with a ropeman 1. If so God does it do for you, I know its outside of the specs of the ropeman but I've heard mixed views on that matter. Trying to get more knowledge on the matter before makeing a decision

    Oplux rope vs htp or predator

    I was looking at changing my current rope system to the oplux rope, due to less bulk and lightweight. Before I go an pull the trigger does anyone have a picture of the oplux rope next to htp, predator or tethrd rope they offer as well. Really want to see a size comparison before I make the change.

    Doyle's hoist failure, need alternative

    So I went hunting on Wednesday and just as I'm about to get on my platform the nylon strap on my Doyle's gear hoist snapped. It looked like it got caught up on a leaning tree branch or something but nonetheless I didn't expect it to snap. It screwed everything up and I had to one stick down the...

    Gear Hoist / Lift Attachment

    Hey all, I've been fiddling for awhile with my method of attaching my gear to my lift rope. I was using a 25' section of paracord and tying a knot to lift my bow and untying it when I get it into the tree, but recently I bought a Muddy gear hoist and it is very similar to they Doyle's one. It...

    Small diameter rope on a budget

    What's up SH?, just wanted to share the new linesman and tether setup I've put together after eyeballing the Oplux for a hot minute (and being budget minded) I set out to find the closest thing and I believe I've found it. Bluewater Protac 9mm and Sterling Rit 900 which is used to make the...

    Blue Water 7/16 Static Rope (black)

    Selling some extra rope I’ve had stored. Never used, kept in temp controlled basement. I had 300’, but just started using 75’ of it for SRT this year, works great. I am selling the remainder of rope, roughly 225’. I am willing to sell 100’ sections, or the rope as a whole. Will sell 100’ for $80...

    Is this rope okay?

    I'm looking to get into DbRT, and eventually SRT with saddle hunting. I just ordered the Mantis saddle, and I'm trying to get all the gear together I will need. Does this rope look okay for a climbing line? I will also probably make it into a tether and lineman's belt, and make a short bridge...

    Predator Rope Durability

    I use different ropes for different applications and predator is my favorite to use for my tether. Like everything about it but when doing my routine rope checks this morning I noticed multiple flat spots in the rope. Flat spots are generally an early warning sign to replace the rope because the...

    DIY Rope & Stick Platform

    I didn't know what to call this climbing method but nonetheless wanted to get some opinions on its potential pros and cons. I like it and am currently making one, I have a Tethrd Mantis coming with a Predator Platform so I'll probably use that instead of the lumber as mentioned in the video as...

    SRT with only 2 Ropeman's

    So I have been playing with SRT for tree climbing a bit. I have RADS technique down but was wondering if a Texas Kick system would be viable and better. The advantage of the Texas Kick system over RADS is that it is simpler with less gear requirements. My results were simpler and better than I...

    Custom or premade tree strap/lineman belt

    I’m considering ordering 7/16 three strand rope with 3-inch eyelets, from R&W rope, to use as my tree strap and lineman belt in conjunction with ropeman 1 on both. Just wanted to hear input on what you guys are doing. I can order my mantis with their ropes or just order the saddle and do my own...
