Just when I was thinking of getting rid of my heavy LB and Tether that came with my H2....I think I can live with it now.

Nothing wrong with heatshrink at the ends imo (which you don't load anyway).I would try a hair dryer on heatshrink for this application and then if that didn't work maybe a heat gun....but a torch???? I don't think I would. On second thought I wouldn't use heat shrink on UHMPE. Let it fray. Or tape.
But all else is rarely if ever equal.All else being equal, thicker rope is better.

What if this is just a ploy by teufelberger?I might try that new 8mm rope EWO has

You just buy 70 feet of Oplux?What if this is just a ploy by teufelberger?
Every change has tradeoffs.But all else is rarely if ever equal.

You can't save much weight on a tether or LB by going to thinner rope since they are so short. On 40 feet of rope, it becomes significant.
Bigger is betterWhat does better mean?
What does the word mean, mean?What does better mean?
I missed that segway. I think segway is the right word but now I'm not sure. You're welcome, for the easy setup.Bigger is better

I think most likely you are right. It is so easy to make that knot wrong, clip a carabiner in it and call it good.I would almost guarantee it was a suicide knot but wow hope he recovers quickly.
I predict that said "snapped" tether picture never happens....I don't have a scale so I can't check myself but I be interested to see someone put a scale between tether and bridge and see what the reading are compared to normal body weight....if I weight 180 what would the scale read in the leaning position, seated position, etc....
Oh yea that one was real, but his fault. He used daisy chains and not stock straps. Climbing trees has inherent risk.I was thinking the same thing
I like conspiracy theories. There were two posts.
The fall on the stick looked real though the leg cut was severe.

Sure. Basically you pinch the rope to make a small bite and if you see a flat spot in the bite the core of the rope is damaged. It sounds tedious to do that over the length of the rope, but it really is not. We would do 300 feet of rope in a few minutes.Can you describe this (the pinch test) and what you're looking for? For a civilian like me....
