Not a bad idea, really. Give it time and a little more innovation it could get better.

Still can't beat Raptor, though.

*Wraptor, with a "W," Gerry! It's a very clever, fun play on words! You wrap your rope around it, and it's supposed to sound like "velociraptor, the dinosaur!

Thanks for correcting me on that. It was a blunder for sure.

Paul did a damn good job. The Wraptor is dependable, strong and affordable.

Are they still in production? limited?

@Maximalist that was amazing!

The wraptor was developed by a member here, and i buy stuff that members developed. I just can't afford one

There's a good article here, I can read it because of an ad on I have but there's a free subscription.

The rise of giant redwoods in the UK, and where to see them

Although often associated with America, an astonishing half a million giant sequoias are thriving in Britain’s parks and gardens

www.telegraph.co.uk

Scientists, including Dr Phil Wilkes from Kew’s West Sussex garden Wakehurst, says they are growing at a similar rate to their US counterparts. What’s astonishing is that there are an estimated 500,000 Sequoiadendron giganteum trees growing in the UK, compared to just 80,000 in California.

Derbyshire-based Bluebell Nursery and Arboretum’s Jason Grundy says their stock, grown from seed, sells out every year.

Cute.

I quickly figured out how to solve this puzzle before the reveal and I think most arborists/tree climbers who have experience with rings will intuitively understand how to solve it as well.

 

[Kaveman]

That's fine, but I say snip! It's like the Gordian knot, Alex just hacked it in half... good for you Knoto, but I make my living with a saw, therefor everything is a cut to me. Sorry about your ring, sorry about your stick, sorry about your puzzles and me not playing by the rules...

 

[Knotorious]

Imagine getting your finger hit by this machine...

“It’s the mind games”! Lol
