Yay Michael
Howdy,
And congratulations on developing a lifeline protocol that works. This is a new field for a lot of people, and I'm sure your words will help others. Thanks also for the kind words on the Wand.
It is possible to Brummel the second thimble into place; just make the eye a taste loose, and stitch it closed later, after you have barely forced the thimble in.
We prefer Endura, and at least 1/4", just to give it more life in the sun (cheaper in the long run). And 5/16" lasts forever, and is nicest to fetch up against, should you need to.
For those with gates, the Johnson hardware is great stuff.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
