The POS Diamond knot has uprighted my flipped jeep 3 times, on top of countless other recoveries. Idk what else to ask of the knot.
It's already greater than the line strength, not sure why it matters beyond that and not coming undone.

Pagrey is officially gone. Hopefully everyone is not going to lose sleep over this.

It's been a long time coming. He turned himself into jodomcfrodo a while ago.
You know that means both.I know the rope people that is very commonly used. I'm on the fence currently but I can easily make it happen. That is an area where I struggle with color a bunch though. It is hard to say you want bright colors when we use steel cable in a silver gray with regularity. I do like the safety aspect of the bright colors but I'm very partial to how the dark gray looks spooled up on winches.
It won't take much to convince me they are a good idea.
You should ask for a WRG one too, since the new logo is pretty sweet.
Oh good. You're here.
At what point is a soft shackle not strong enough? I have four of these in my recovery kit that have seen a very wide variety of heavy use and abuse with no sign of wearing out yet. When will I be forced to admit that I have been a sucker all these years?
I’d like a BMB and Wizard Recovery Gear sticker, if available.

I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but apparently I was wrong.
The weird thing is that I'm not even sure how he was able to respond to this thread. He and Blaine were blocked from seeing each others threads or posts on the forum. Somehow he managed to skirt that, which makes me think there is a glitch with the ignore feature (it's imperfect anyways, I'm aware).
In any case, it sounds like he won't be missed.

This statement has me picturing an old toothless hillbilly talking about how many trucks he's pulled out of the mud with logging chain.
Yes it works but isn't necessarily "best."
The truth is the diamond know is the weak point and is where a new shackle will break. The button knot is stronger.
But that isn't necessarily a problem. If you're looking to use the absolute minimum-sized line possible then yes you should use the stronger knot. If you're using oversized line to account for wear and suboptimal attachment points are you're meeting the design requirements then it doesn't matter, and there are other practical benefits tot he diamond knot: it's easier to tie correctly and uses less rope.
Too bad some people can't have these discussions without being a dick.
I have no WRG stickers. I'm working on them, my sticker guy is working on them. All I got for now.
I keep meaning to explain something about soft shackles but the logistics of trying to get all this stuff on the site has distracted me. They are a wear item. That is the main reason I'm putting them out there as cheap as I possibly can. Cut it, tear it up on axle brackets, abrade it too much on a shackle eye, lose it, wear it out or whatever, I want them cheap enough to replace so that it isn't a problem and no one feels badly about just throwing away a worn out or damaged item.
The rope company has their own testing lab if it matters to anyone. This is what I get-
