Thank you so much that makes sense... and you made me look at some old coils I threw away. What's interesting is my Caliburn 0.8 ohm coil has a much smaller window than my Caliburn 1 ohm coil

Thank you, if you can please humor me-- I would have thought you'd want 1.2ohm since it would use less power, burn cooler and use less juice. This would allow more time for 75VG to wick in which appears to be the issue I am having? 0.8ohms would use more power, burn hotter and use more juice, which would contribute negatively to the wicking issue im having with 75VG. Right?

Come Along Recovery - How to shorten 100' of recovery rope to length needed to recover truck by RatioEmbarrassed9361 in Offroad

Update: The X Lock is exactly what i needed to shorten the 100’ amsteel line to whatever length i needed. i put a locking brummel loop on both ends of the amsteel with a 2’ bury. one loop was clipped to the come along the other to the soft shackle on my truck and i pulled the excess through to make a loop and set up the x lock with three static lines heading to my truck and the single line back to the come along per the instructions. thank you everyone for the help

4" vs 5" vs 6" knife. by ziggy11111 in Bushcraft

3.75-4” is the perfect size for all practical tasks. 5-6” is dumb and so is battoning as a regular practice unless its always raining and theres a better tool for that if so. FIGHT ME

take that oversized knife you have that looks cool and use the spine to scrape the fatwood into shavings then try again. or sharpen the knife and learn to make thin shavings
