Knot thread

Or tie your girth hitch properly, maybe lock it with a half hitch. Or just use the bolin. What the heck is with the needless convolution? i don't understand it.

Any man who makes such an effort with his hair is not to be discriminated against, but certainly is to be viewed with suspicion.

I have a deathly allergen to scissors and their related ilk...

I mean, it’s long Kavey, but it doesn’t cascade like a chestnut waterfall across your broad manly shoulders like the knot guy.

You started something, spoke it into existence. I have been ordered to visit a barbershop. I have an appointment at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon.

Kathryn has spoken, there is no higher power to appeal to. I lost the battle before it had begun.

Oh, dear.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

It's all relative. A couple weeks ago my buddies 6 yo girl said I had a long beard. (And a widdle cah, I have a Golf, but that's another story). I was confused, as I had just clipped it off close earlier in the afternoon. Then I noticed my buddy was clean-shaven, which was odd. It turns out he doesn't get a goodnight kiss if he's whiskery.

Only takes once getting it caught in an ascender/decender, belay devise or prussik to make a believer of you in the grooming arts....

Post in thread 'What hard hat for..?'

Far back in the days of an earlier and certainly now long gone version of the TreeHouse, I recounted a story about a co-worker and his unfortunate experience with a long and bushy beard, and a figure 8 rappel device.

It was not pretty, and could have been fatal, if clearing his beard from the rap had not gone well. Consider...cutting yourself free from a heavily tensioned rappel rope, where you cannot see what you are doing, with your extremely sharp knife. As I recall, ever after he climbed with a pair of blunt nosed bandage scissors buttoned into his shirt pocket.

Keep long hair and...

That fellow climber never was able to grow beard from a patch on his lower right cheek, after it was pulled out with some meat attached, in that event. That was only a small portion of his beard that was engaged in the figure 8.

He was a stand up guy...but he was screaming like a little girl all during that badness. It clearly was painful in the extreme.

I haven't thought about this accident in quite a while...the remembering gives me chills. It seems like a minor thing, but at the time, I was trying to figure out how I could get up there to help him. He was hanging on a single rope...

Then, I guess that I'm a little on the stubborn side.
On the other hand, I move quite slowly on the rope, so I usually have enough time to react and not put myself in a dire situation.
The first beard's hair stuck in the descender in quite a while is my remainder that's about time to trim it. The problem is the delay before I actually take the trimmer. I can push it for months and as you can guess, some other hairs are pulled out in the meantime.
