Hi All,
Firstly as a new member, I’d like to thank everyone who contribute to these forums. The amount of knowledge and insight within this community is really an awesome thing.
Anyways, this will be my first year saddle hunting. Hoping to practice in my flex saddle next week. I’m looking for some clarification around two areas.
Firstly, I’m using the Wild Edge Stepps. I like them- but I’ve decided to put the 1/4” amsteel rope on them instead. I’ve got 100 feet. So my question is, without splicing the amsteel, what is the most practical knot for me to tie the amsteel onto the Stepps for the slipknot method?
Secondly, I have decided to use a SRT system to rappel down for my descents. I’ve got 40’ of 3/8” Sterling HTC rope, the ATC, and an autoblock. So same theme of my Sterling rope not being spliced. Since I can just tether off the SRT rope to the top of the tree after I’m already up there, is there an ideal knot for this so I can pull it back down, when I’m back on the ground? Do I still need paracord anyways? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks guys!
