    Awesome video Opie, thanks, Can you make an adjustable ridgeline out of the 2.2 mm lash/zing it that was sold during your group buy or do you have to use amsteel or another hallow braided rope that is climbing rated?

    Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.

    Lazy, I currently use the 1.75mm. So yes you can use the 2.2mm if that's what you have.

    Thanks Opie, I have both but it is way easier to splice 2.2mm then 1.75. I was makeing Chain links last night with the 1.75 (thanks to your guidance and instructions) and man I give you props for the amount of patience you must have for as many orders you fill. I just dident know if the ridgeline had to be load bearing or not. Are their any DIY instruction any where here on HF regarding, length of ridgeline, burry length, etc. for an adjustable ridgeline, Thanks Opie,
