As a wise man once said:
Being a saddlehunter is kind of like being a Rush fan. It's technical, it's not for everyone, but if you're into it you can go DEEP.

Without a doubt, this WILL be the year somebody gets seriously hurt or worse. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
Someone already fell.
It sure feels like it's gonna happen. Dudes just combining a bunch of trendy **** that must be ok because other people use it.
I just got reminded why I never comment on anything on social media. I saw it and cringed thinking someone new would see it and think it’s common practice. I understand he is comfortable with it. Although I don’t agree with it, that is his choice. Natural selection may or may not take its course. I tried.
Help a noob out. What am I looking at? I see the crazy knot on the ropeman. Dont see any tail coming out of the ropeman. Just trying to learn.
I got corrected on an idea I had, which i appreciated and still trying to research all the correct alternative methods. I understand I'll need a couple years or more thorough research on anything before its put into practice. Perfectly fine with my stock kestrel until I feel more confident to jump out of the nest. Obviously with forum approval. But just trying to use criticism/correction above as another learning point but dont know exactly what's going wrong.

And putting a knot in amsteel thinking that will save him. Can’t knot amsteel.
Any other things, guys?

Good catch.
That knot will never get used though. A ropeman doesn't slip like a friction hitch. Yes, it's technically a blunder, but using a hollow core, small diameter rope like that will probably bite him before the knot.
Looks like he should have just tied the carabiner on the Amsteel
Isn’t that the tag end tied up there?

Am I correct in telling this fella this might not a be good idea? Just trying to help folks out, but he is “knows his limit” and “has plenty of amsteel to replace it”

Good grief God forbid I sure hope that he has a very good insurance!
