Two times the same rope one with dry treatment, the other without rubbed with dirt. Also two untreated ropes where both got thrown in dirt but one gets washed before rubbing
It'd be nice to see some further testing on various types of sheathes & cores on dynamic, and benefits/disadvantages of them, brands etc... How much force to cut it, few basic abrasion tests... I'd even appreciate some arbitrary ranking system like ""4/5" rating or a tier list or something lmao.
Can I use my climbing carabiner for sailing. I have a 45 foot catamaran and am using them as job preventers. They open nice and wide. I worry they are too weak though.
Grappling hook rope on the train track this scenario being that you throw a grappling hook up it accidentally hooks onto a train track with a train. I want to see if that ropes holds or break with the weight and wheels of the train.
I really appreciate your willingness to make videos like this. So much of what we see is optimized for social media and clicks and I appreciate so much the work you do to make it about the gear and not the RU-vid views. The whole video was interesting and informative, but the last few minutes were an incredibly important reminder for us to keep the information we consume in balance. Your willingness to be honest and say what you honestly feel is refreshing in an environment so dominated by a pervasive tendency to try to market an image or brand to an audience without regard to the unintended consequences or even the expected and predictable longer term impact the content may have on the audience. Honesty and authenticity are so rare in the social media dominated world we now live in that when we experience a few minutes of genuine informative content it is greatly appreciated. As for when I started watching, it was probably in the spring of 2022. I was IRATA & SPRAT certified for industrial rope access work, but for me now it is simply an interest in the information you provide, rather than any practical use case in my life currently, that I regularly watch your content.
Not quite what you're asking but in the TRS video they did a while ago they put tape over the spikes and did some drop tests. If I remember right, it slipped a bit and was more unreliable but still did kind of decent. It does have a cam function as well, so it is actually grabbing the rope and not just relying solely on the spikes grabbing the sheath.
Been watching since covid. I'm not a climber at all (fear of heights) but I do appreciate the tech of climbing. I also enjoy your store as Amazon is just way too sketchy for carabiners or anything similar. I hope you get into safety gear in the future as I use a harness when on my roof so I'd like to know more about my options for roof access safety as a homeowner.
@@grignaak9292 If you're referring to the video I think, then he didn't test cut resistance. He tested abrasion. I'm just asking about a dirty rope's cut resistance versus a clean rope's cut resistance.
@@ggs4989 Ah! I thought you meant "under load." not "loaded with dirt." My bad. I believe it is the same video on abrasion, there is a minute or two where they took knives to ropes.
Used to work in a outdoor centre that was in a REALLY sandy area. Every time it rained the ropes would end up covered in sand and wood chips, from under the activities, and end up looking a bit like this!!! Maybe not quite as flat 😂😂😂
Hey guys! My first original knot was the retrievable, midline attachable anchor: the JRB Hitch. And prior to breaking it, stop after a good pull, whatever it might see in a fall, or maybe 3kn and see how easy it is to release. Video title is : Tying the JRB Hitch for Tether and Rappel. Then retie, crank it up, and break it. I will send you some DONUTS! Glazed ok? 😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w8IRYd_J-HA.htmlsi=tlQYk_Aw8x_d5Mls
@kevinwatson3190 That's my understanding as well. I don't have a front loader so I've always hand washed it in a bin or the tub lol. I use just warm water personally.
