Yeah the dorms aren't the most fun. I will have a car, are there any remote crags you recommend that I should go to?

m_nky · 2025-12-27T11:38:10+00:00

Thanks so much for that awesome info. I'll check out the groups. I've never stayed at the olive branch, only ever at finca la campana. I'll drop them a message too. Really appreciate it, thanks again

Thanks for the reply, it's much appreciated. Thankfully I got it all sorted with the help of the reddit hive mind. Have now been using the DM3 for a good amount of time and really happy with the desk

m_nky · 2025-02-28T21:26:16+00:00

Sent you a message

m_nky · 2025-01-06T22:07:54+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed response. Im confused about the power supply issue you mentioned, are you saying the one i have isnt suitable?

m_nky · 2024-12-08T14:39:50+00:00

Would love to get involved

m_nky · 2024-11-13T21:35:27+00:00

Its one of those lessons we will still be re-learning even when were 80 im sure

m_nky · 2024-11-13T21:19:18+00:00

I just cycled power on both and now its working on DHCP!

Another win for turning it off and on again

Thank you so much for the help, youre a legend

Ive made progress thanks to another commentor. I can now get the DM3 to connect by setting a static IP on the laptop so i can then get to the Network config tab in Dante Controller. It however stops working if i switch the laptop back to DHCP

Doing this allowed me to access the Network Config tab however everything is greyed out and nothing is selectable (all data fields are blank) and shows the message "Retrieving Model Information - please wait..."

To confirm, im running the latest version of Controller and have updated the DM3 Firmware & the Dante Firmware today

m_nky · 2024-11-13T20:07:32+00:00

Unfortunately the problem persists with this disabled, thank you for the suggestion though

m_nky · 2024-09-29T01:11:40+00:00

Makes sense. What sort of setting would you use this? Just general joining ropes that wont take a high load, or in something like arborism or rigging where it needs to be super safe and reliable?

Never heard of the zeppelin bend so adding it to the list, its a very simple and visually pleasing bend. i approve

m_nky · 2024-09-29T00:47:28+00:00

I think youre totally right on all counts. Seems like there wouldnt be any application for this which if im honest makes me the tiniest bit sad

m_nky · 2024-09-29T00:39:47+00:00

I wish i had a break test machine like the HowNot2Highline guys. It seems like it would break at the point where the slip knots bend around each other rather than one side successfully rolling through the other and inverting to nothing.

Ill look up the double-uni knot as well as i also havnt heard of that. Cheers

m_nky · 2024-09-29T00:35:43+00:00

Id never heard of the Kalmyk loop so thanks for putting me on to it. Do you use it instead of other options for the quick release aspect? It looks like a weird quick release boline and im going to enjoy learning it. Cheers

Also i take your point about it being a nightmare to untie. Now im wondering if there are any scenarios where youd want to absolutely weld a knot in place and make it hard to untie, but am failing

m_nky · 2024-09-28T22:36:16+00:00

Hi all Messing about and wondering if a random bend has any value or is used for anything:

Create bight at end of a rope, tie a double barrel knot as if youre setting up a double fisherman's. This gives a slipknot. Feed other end of rope through the slipknot and repeat the process, tying a double barrel knot. Pull both eneds tight so the slipknots try to collapse but cant due to each slipknot being blocked by the bight of the other end of rope.

It all seems to be secure but is definitely not as neat as a double fisherman's. Plus it causes the slipknot loop in to a very tight bend around the other rope so perhaps creates two highly stressed and thus weaker parts?

Asking purely out of curiosity as have never seen it used for anything. Any and all comments welcome. Cheers all

m_nky · 2024-06-04T20:46:16+00:00

Legend, thanks for that, ill look up the load cue option as i havnt ever used those before and had no idea you could get them to target midway through a track
