That's certainly not in the dynamic range, for traditional values. Semi-static...it's on the low end, but accurate in my view. Colorful, it surely is...but pretty? Maybe a little less so :D. Seen plenty of ropes that are worse looking.

@Kaveman, might you put a platform across the top of the bed rails for a sleeping/camp stove/rest out of the weather spot with sitting headroom, and cover the bed with an ultra-simple canopy? Maybe a set of bows or A-frames made from schedule 40 pvc and cover the whole thing with tarp?

I rather expected lower temps, from your perspective. 25 is getting to cold, but in the thirties seems to be just sorta coolish, to me :).

So...where does cold officially start, for you :)?

:lol:

I had the same thought, @CurSedVoyce. People do the damndest things :D.

Following on what John observed...the difference in the tree climbing gear we have today compared to 2000? Stunning amount of innovations and changes in the way many of us do the work. I'd bet there's been more changes in the last 25 years than in the 150 years before that.

I think you spelled heebie jeebie mo betta than I did, @CurSedVoyce :D.

I need to look this product up...no hands in and out, eh?

Spyderco makes good stuff. For many years my Ms. M carried a little bitty one on her keychain. I don't know the model; I'm sure it's at least 25 years old, if not more. Good small blade. A 1 1/2-inch blade in the right spot would back most bad guys right off. Something like this, but with...

Yup, a good un'.

It sure can be...when it isn't giving you a bad case of the heebee jeebees :D. Maybe the fun is the mostest after you have survived the heebee jeebees and the drop is a full-on success....might be so ;).

While this is certainly so, I was more wondering if say 20kN delivered all at once to an object might break that object when the same 20kN delivered in a slow buildup to that load would not. I don't know at all.

Pretty spot, Stephen.
