Good info. I am a cobbler and have been making climbing gear for years. (Non fall gear like aiders) great to see stitching patterns compared. Not that you use water knots in highlineing but it would be sweet to see a water knot vs beer knot test.
It seems to me , mainly from hownot2s other video on sewing patterns> any sewing pattern that does not go edge to edge on a strap doesn't utilize all the fibers in the strap. Hince bar tacks are usually the answer.
I am still trying to get my head around this climbing concept of slack line's purposes. To me, on the outside looking in, the big concern should be injury by falling 2 meters on a short semi static rope in a half or full body harness. Since, for my own intended purposes for the climbing gear is a 5600 lb system of a multitude of ropes everywhere, anchored with 6000+ lb anchors everywhere. The problem is to get many, many,, many shock absorbers that can safely absorb 5600 lb over 1 or 2 meter stretch, at the top of the rope. Break away webbing that does not injure a 100 lb person by more than 4 G's and less than 2 G for a heavy person is not anything sold. Break away offers continuous resistance and slowing which is superior to bungee or springs. Moreover 5600 lb is overwhelming to any practical in length spring or bungee sold. I am not sure how such huge short line forces, solo, are currently dealt with in the climbing community. I have been testing several things at scale. The biggest problem with sewing webbing is I found one inch line of nylon (perpendicular to the webbing length) caused a 900 lb webbing to rip at the point when 40 lb was dropped only a few inches, stich length was 2 on the sewing machine. This was a hypothetical Hazzard that proved too true. I need to see successful 40 lb 2 meter drop shock absorbed descent on a sewn break away webbing. But it does not look promising. Regular thread strength sucks, while my nylon seems to high to test at small scale, while the webbing strength compromis has creeped me out and was a hugely discouraging. I probably missed the video on shock absorption, because my brain is focused on absorbing 5600 lb solely on the shock absorber and getting the force down to 4 G for a 100 lb person, which is 400 lb, less than half of the osha allowance of 900 lb, which assumes tough 220 lb firefighter men and not thinner boned people. To me, anything more than 400 lb is too painful. Also the system needs to be designed around a 2 meter fall on the ropes and be able to absorb the force, and exert no more than 400 lb on the harness. I will just need a longer stop for heavy people. Of course, no one should allow slack, but I must design for it. I am also looking for a measured and tested shock absorbing strategy, with the math. The shock absorber needs to assume a short fall on a static rope. I read one pubmed study on full body v. Half harnesses and the the injury severity. Nearly all injuries were newbies falling on short non absorbing ropes. So, in my application, there are tons of ropes, pre-anchored with shock absorbers near the anchor. Naturally, I would design the system so that even if the shock absorber snapped, failing catastrophically, the person would not fall more than a few inches onto the 5600 lb rope. This means that a 900 lb webbing offering 400 lb breakaway every 1 inch, would work if long enough to offer enough breaking distance--which is my preliminary thinking.
what should i do if i want to highline but there is literally no one in my area to help me or show me? right now i kind of have no choice but to watch this channel and learn all i can from the website and basically go out alone, which i must admit is really scary but i want to highline and learn how to set these up properly..if anyone has any advice or tips, please let me know..
@@elmeradams8781 rhode island. I started climbeing 5 months ago and know that the community is fairly small here and tight knit so id imagine slack line community must be even smaller..
Just save money and reach out to any high liner on Instagram and meet up with them it’s not that difficult because the community is so small everybody is contactable
I really do want to learn but doubt I will ever do any if the stuff you do here lol. I have watched so many of your videos and so many of your tests. Why? My god I have no idea. I guess if I ever get invited on something like this I'll be much of a surprise when it comes to my knowledge behind it lol idk great content obviously if you hook a viewer like me lol
I just couldn’t watch this video to the end. Once I saw the percentage of women participating in the event, I had to protest the only way I knew how and that was to boycott the remainder. Until women are at 50% or more, I will not be watching anymore.
Did this guy really start out the meeting by criticizing that there weren't enough women in the room? With slides?? Or did i just stroke out and start hearing crazy things for awhile?
It looked to me like he was just drawing attention to it so people are aware there is this disparity. I didn't see him proposing any kind of forced solution.
@@rhofour he was kinda making a call for action to encourage people to have more women join the community. So what if there is a gender gap in a community if it isn't caused by a social issue (toxic treatment of others)? It's an open community, people will come and go as they please
Check out our new store! hownot2.store/
I've never been show-en such specific info about a loop that was sew-en.
thats a big reach right there. I like it.

How did you get into making gear from fixing shoes?

There was a comparison of water vs beer; beer was stronger. Maybe this test was due to your comment.

Would you break test threads by themselves? Or multiple stands at a time? Or even, whole spools of thread?
What's the 'safety meeting' like at a safety meeting for slackers? 🌳😌🌳
In my circle, safety meeting just means someone's just packed a bowl and they wanna share.
Caterpillar Equipment has High Quality O Rings!
Soft Shackle Capture might be better in no load circumstaces with o rings....

He’s very concerned that it’s a fuckin sausage fest over there. Lol
Why does it matter? I guess it does make it harder to pick up the ladies...
wow, great information (Y)
Can we get away from gender politics anywhere please. Great info love the vids.
So he just saying what other industries have now an done for hundreds of year ,,dlaaa dlaaa
Why that gender slide ffs? It should be natural process, not forced. Focus on slackline, not on this nonsense.
And it's 16,7. :D

How does female to male ratio relate to anything stiching we need more women to learn to sew again.
It's just far leftist dogma.
They don't have a god so they gotta religion somehow.
So the focus is on sewing, and there is an urgent need to recruit more women?
Interesting.
