I agree with JPS.

A slipped bowline is (IMO) where the tail make a loop instead of goin straight through. When you pull on the tail (which goes through the turn) the knot collapses but not all the way, however it is faster than untieing the regular bowline.

Understand or need a pic?

 

[JonnyHart]

I understand. Thank you

 

[Lumberjack]

Well good to see that someone else stays up late or early, whatever.

 

[JonnyHart]

Late lumberjack. I got nothin tomorrow. I can stay up and hoot with the night owls, cause I don't gotta soar with eagles in the morning. Yeah, the slippery bowline makes sense to me, especially, when I work the ground, and I lower a big limb or log, the guy who unties the running bowline takes forever, no matter how many times I tell and show him. Yeah, I'll try it sometime if I feel like takin it easy on the groundies. With a little practice it's just as fast to tie as the running b.

I need to work tomorrow but it rained, and is raining, so I doubt that I will do much. Maybe chill at the house, after all it is SPRING BREAK!!

 

[JonnyHart]

I wish I got paid for any break dude

Excellent catalog, it finally arrived out here. Lots of stuff I've got to have.

Is Sherrill going to have another handsaw sale like last year about this time?

[Nathan Wreyford]

I haven't seen a banner up there in months

 

[seanlarkin]

Are you using some sort of ad blocker?

 

[murphy4trees]

Yes you can....
We won't tell anybody... will we????

 

[xtremetrees]

They are selling lanyards that wont break away from your chainsaw. Just as well sell loop runners.
They should delete this item from the catalog its a real killer.
just sell the breakaway its enuff

 

[Lumberjack]

On top handled saws (well at least my 200), the rear ring will come off before it would hurt me, but I am using their break away anyway.

I am not sure which ones you are talking about, but the ones with the dog snap, the snap is a fusible link, and on the rope ones with the aluminum ferrules, that is the fusible link.

Which ones is it?

 

[xtremetrees]

F the 2 in 1 saw lanyard

 

[xtremetrees]

I problably wont either rocky but if you leave it as the only option to the young climber comming up its their only option so theyll use it

On page 34 , we all know the chick hanging out notching the big piece drawing. Shes has pulled the running bowline back down to her an about to reattach it above her safety and rigging gear. Folks look very close at Mr. Brians artwork. I know I did comming up.
The more simple a thing the more common it is used. Thruout the USA and even in Europe folks look to Sherril and learn.
Remedy a secure knot now(edit) now to say not! a running bowline or a binered in bowline should be used here in case of rip out of the chunk (rare) or barberchair (rare)
Under my Danger Bowline thread youll see what i mean.
This is small stuff. I love Sherill and all the work he does. I think this is the only information resource for millions of climbers I really do.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Do you think there are 'millions' of climbers?

I bet there ain't!
