Here's a thread for the best advice that someone ever gave you. Of course, I use the phrase 'best advice' very loosely!
Here's mine.
I once was buying a bull rope, pulley, etc at the local arborist supply. We were purchasing a 150' of 3/4" Stable braid. Rated up to 20,400 lbs if I recall right. So Mr. Larry Heston (idiot extrodinaire and I use his real name so you can call the cops if you see him in your area), comes up and tells me. "Why you wasting your money? I use a climbing rope. It's much cheaper. Because of the shock absorbation I can drop bigger pieces of wood than you ever could."
Hmmm... Yeah. Did I mention he used to used to pull trees over with these ropes and he uses them to climb too? Unfortunately he has not killed himself yet.
Anyone heard some other sage advice?
