Title: Made my son a Christmas gift today.
Post by: ronlarimer on December 06, 2010, 11:26:22 AM
I decided to make my 5yo a rope to climb on in the garage today.  I used normal Lowes rope rather than static line so it has a little stretch, but I think it will work out.

I found instruction on making a Fast rope on youtube.com using 7/16 rope, doubling it and using a 4 strand round braid.   It worked great and looks good too.Click Here (http://www.itstactical.com/2010/08/06/how-to-make-a-fast-rope-for-climbing/)

I just thought I would share.

NC Buckeye -

Welcome!

You have successfully passed rule one - post porn when you do something.

However, you failed rule two - when talking about sites or videos that help do something they should also be linked ... We are mentally handicapped and lazy around here  ;)

Nice rope by the way ... I think you may have a place in the T & tt administration in a couple years.

You honestly think those two could braid a rope that nicely? Of course, they wouldn't bother trying. ;D
