Some decent weather to get down to the woodlot. Cleared the top of one of the Alders off of the trail. Running a little Shindaiwa 377 in the...
My older Honda Rancher went on the fritz so will need a trip to the shop. In the meantime I was able to find this preowned Foreman with 200 miles...

That’s what I read also. Double braided is recommended. Supposedly this rope is static rapelling rope that is low stretch with pretty good...
I have a portable capstan winch and while double braided rope is recommended, would it work with the same size Kernmantle rope? It would mostly be...
