I once fell while carrying a coil of dynamic rope but I still hurt my knees on the garage floor. 🤣😜

Thank you! The speaker is John, the owner of Knot & Rope Supply. We typically shoot everything unscripted and produce/edit everything in-house.

Due to the type of core that static rope has, it can not be spliced in the traditional sense. It has to be stitched.

Aleksandar Kostadinov Most arborists ropes are considered static (they are definitely not dynamic) and they are spliced all the time. Kernmantle construction can’t be spliced. Mountain climbing spokespeople don’t include arborists information and vice-versa. Just enter “arborists ropes” into KZfaq’s search line and you’ll find tons of information. Arborists ropes have a variety of characteristics so be patient and watch lots of videos. Also search “arborists rope splicing”. You’ll also stumble into some crossover with sailboat rigging. Be careful buying from amazon and eBay. They sometimes don’t include important information. You want polyester, you DON’T want polypropylene. Thousands of pounds of difference in strength.

Sure, I would look at one of the smaller diameter static lines that we offer. But yes, a static rope can be used for this application.

Great point. In this video, we are simply pointing out the fact that static ropes (in this case parallel core with braided cover) are ropes with little or no stretch compared to other braided or three strand ropes. We should do a video about the variety of static ropes as well, that might be helpful.

Haha me to. I even love the sound gear makes like carabiners clicking etc. I’m a Recreational Tree climber and a gear junky!!!

Just over 11mm.

Get yourself a conversion app !!! I like “units plus” !!! Don’t prove your helplessness and then smack the question mark 3 times !!! One inch is 25.4 mm Some real basic math will take you from there.

@@ridermak4111 I was wondering the same thing, and a bit shocked to hear some weird fraction measurements 7/16 or 1/2 inch. I had no idea anyone talking technical roping still used these terms

@@RooDavis Months after the (unrelated) root cause of my nasty sarcasm....I’m sorry for that, Fredrik.... I agree that your surprise is logical. My fledgling interest in all things rope has revealed commonalities and differences between recreational climbers, rescue operations, arborists, tactical teams, high window washers, industrial access, sail rigging, lifting rigging, good grief, the sub-genres of equipment selection is head spinning. I think the main commonality is “SAFETY OF LIFE”. And about those antique fractions.....I blame the arborists. 🤫🤭 They sure are fun to watch though. They’ve got giant balls......and my respect.

@@ridermak4111 you are right. I'm a climber looking for some technical information on ropes which I have always known to be in metric, KN, KG, Meters, MM, etc. I'm more use to hearing fractions and inches used when getting lumber to build the barn or the ranch fence. But later looking at 'knot and rope supplies' I realised they were not focused on climbers but more tradespeople, farmers, arborists, in the USA. My dad was born in 1937 and he would sometimes talk 7/16ths of an inch, but well before my time. Curious I just google to see only 3 countries in the world use the imperial system of meaurements, Myanmar, Liberia and USA, but even then I would think scientific and engineering people in US have upgraded to metric www.statista.com/chart/18300/countries-using-the-metric-or-the-imperial-system/#:~:text=Only%20three%20countries%20%E2%80%93%20the%20U.S.,body%20parts%20or%20everyday%20items.
