I'm new to all of this outdoor stuff - but wanted to contribute if I can.
I was making a adjustable structural ridgeline last week with some 7/64 amsteel and realized that I could save some of this precious magical rope if I was clever in the design.
Only needing +/- 6-8 inches of adjustability I was able to move the adjustable end bury far from the fixed-end.
I made a diagram and a spreadsheet to do the calculations for anyone else who's interested. I've attached both. You can specify min and max length and some other parameters and it will tell you how much rope you need and where to locate the adjustable end bury. There are some other parameters you can adjust, calculations assume 25% loss on the burys.
Hope it's useful to someone. I'm learning a bunch here.
Thanks to all!
Charlie
p.s. sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere
