Thanks BG.

Thanks BG.
Congrats LawDawg! I think "The" will get dropped in no time and they will be known as just "Elephant Trunks". Also easier to use the acronym that way..."ET's" vs "TET's". Hope you like your new toys, LawDawg!
I like ET, TET is offensive (and if you get that one you are at least 45 or a Vietnam War history buff).Originally Posted by ChrisH
Way to go LD! Bloom, I know it wasn't an easy decision but the name certainly fits.

Enjoy the elevation
there were a lot, it was difficult, took about 3-4 hours of back and forth. i almost considered posting a poll of the three i liked but i told my wife which ones i liked and she made the final decision. wait....
sorry about the first video and it being shot sideways. the trunk used BWDD 3000lb rated straps, the junior used a 1000lb strap i was testing out (not from BWDD, other source)....i'm still hanging on the material,...the junior clip did have rounded edges, the trunk did not - load is displaced rather than concentrated like the junior.

Wow, very good tests. Love the testing equipment! Thanks for posting!
I like that junior trunk. Are you selling those? Is it designed to be a permanent, sewn in piece? It's hard to tell - did the clip break, or the webbing? [edit: it was the webbing, I see it now]
I'm having a thought ... I think it could still be adjustable...

not selling them...if there is interesti think something could be worked out. the intent was to have it on a fixed, non-adjustable end.
