I got your lanyard today, and I think we got the length right this time. The color is sweet, like a xmas candy!!! And your braid iz the cat's meow!

If any of ya'll need a nice braid, young Master Nick iz the one to see!





Uhhhhh, whut should I do with the two short bastids???

 

[okietreedude1]

how short is a 'short bastid'?

 

[TreeJunkie]

What kind of rope did he make your new lanyard out of? Do you mean splice not braid?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Ha! Did I say braid? Yea, SPLICE. I'm not sure what the rope is, but it shore is soccer-delic!

 

[TreeJunkie]

I had Nick do some splicing for me late last year. It sure came out nice as well. Nick does a great job.
Nick is the rope MB has a Bucaneer product?

 

[NickfromWI]

Oooh, mad props for me!

Nope, I hooked him up with some Orange, Black, and White Yale XTC (what can I say....my girlfriend lives in Baltimore.....GO ORIOLES!).

Butch....with those 7 footers...uhhh...maybe just hold on to them for emergencies or you could send 'em back and I'll use them for recreational climbing.

Thanks for the props, guys!

love

Bro, 7 feet is way too short to have as your main lanyard.

Actually thats exactly what i'm using right now. I have two larger if the need comes up but i'm fine w/ 7 feet,,,,some of the guys i climb w/ use 6 footers.. So how much will the shipping be.?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I was gonna send them back to Nick. If you really want them pm me yur address.

 

[NickfromWI]

Mb, you can send those over to TJ. I was just going to scrap them probably. I'd rather see them go to good use.

Hope you like the shorties, TJ!

love
nick, the rope junkie

 

[MasterBlaster]

Cool. I just pm'ed you to the contrary.

TJ's got em.

 

[TreeJunkie]

Sounds great! Thankyou, both of you. MB you Pm me? or nick?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Uhh, I don't think I did.

I got your address.

7 feet is short, bro.

 

[Stumper]

Yep, that is what everyone tells JPS. 7 feet is short.

 

[rumination]

So, how long is your new one Butch?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Between 10 and 12 feet.

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

My working lanyard is 16 feet or so and sometimes it annoys me.

In a big tree I love my 30 foot lanyard, but foir general work it does get in the way a lot.

 

[Gord]

I find that 10' is a pretty versatile length...sometimes a bit short but often still long enough to get in the way. 7' tho would get me frustrated very quick.

 

[NickfromWI]

Mine is 9'. Every now and then I wish it was a bit longer. But even if it was 30', I'd still want a longer one now and then! I like carrying around the shorter one. It doesn't drag on the ground when I walk! I spliced a little ring on the tail of mine that I clip to the brass snap on my saddle. This keeps the tail out of the way.
