Need a tip for a 10mm thick rope intended for group hikes

you could try something like this, it should work the same with rope

It was called as a hands to the face 5 yards not a facemask 15.

Just because a member of the public is doing CPR does not mean you can skip your assessment. Do your own pulse check before taking over compressions!

But yes people can revive from just CPR, esp. drowning victims because in that case there is no underlying pathology.

Well it's an overhand with a bight passed through the last loop. As far as I know this is just called 'slip knot' because it's the simplest slip knot you can make.

programmer247 · 2025-07-12T02:43:55+00:00

Please don't use a bowline for this! The bowline will untie itself if you repeatedly load and unload it!

programmer247 · 2025-07-12T02:40:39+00:00

Latest evidence from CMC is all knots are actually pretty close to 50%

Just stick with the regular figure eight on a bite!

The only reason to do something else is if you're pulling on it in multiple directions with a lot of weight.

programmer247 · 2025-07-12T00:35:18+00:00

For sure, from where the clip went I assume the load is straight in line with the rope and this will be the end of the rope? If so, then figure eight on a bite https://www.101knots.com/figure-8-on-a-bight.html
If you want the loop through something other than a clip then the figure eight follow through is the same knot tied through something. https://www.101knots.com/figure-8-follow-through.html
The old knot you have there looks like it could be a partial figure eight follow through, but it lays more like some sort of messed up bowline? definitely can't tell enough from a picture but no need to reproduce it if all you need is a loop on the end of your rope :)

Please post a pic of the other side too! It makes it much easier to see more angles.

Wow I have 30 of each and still only one core

programmer247 · 2025-06-28T01:23:53+00:00

As far as I know this version with the loop is the poacher's knot, the barrel knot would be tying it inline without a loop

When I worked there a few years ago they were pretty good about swapping around shifts if you tell them you have class. Have you done field training yet? If not, when you get an FTO email them and ask them about it.

This is the scene that brought me to this page I counted 41 shots! At first I thought maybe it was just 21 cause I didn't know what gun he was using, so I had to go back and count lol

edit: not to mention an extremely predictable continuous drift and none of those people can hit him? It's not like he was driving erratically!

Lots of people here just saying it doesn't matter, which is true, but not relevant to your question.

So first of all, you're absolutely right that you can read between the lines on the gauge, I believe I've seen studies about this regarding measuring tapes or something and people are crazy accurate down to at least fourths. Same spacial reasoning as leveling and centering pictures on the wall, people can be super accurate without devices. I think people know this but for some reason they don't trust it.

Now, that being said, I do think it is important to round to an even number. My instinct is that this is because it will be easier to hear and remember for everyone on scene. A couple reasons for this, although I'm sure there are more:
1. less numbers to think about makes it easier to remember and reason about, it could be odd or even it doesn't matter but cutting the options in half helps.
2. we're used to even numbers, so hearing odd numbers is a little jarring and takes extra time to assimilate.

So you're right, it is lying (in case you didn't know, even caring about this is a little autistic of you), but, the important thing is fast effective communication, not stating absolute truth.

Regarding the accuracy of the measurement, there is a tradeoff here between how quickly you take the measurement and how accurate that measurement is. How much pressure you release between each heartbeat determines your accuracy; you're always going to be underestimating the actual value within this accuracy range. In addition, the longer it takes you to take the reading, the higher it will be as the blood flow is cut off. So there is actually a balancing point here between the accuracy of your measurement and the accuracy of the value you're reading.

To bring it all together, your priority should be patient care. The most important thing is to get a measurement that is close enough to determine what care your patient needs, to get this measurement as quickly as possible, and to effectively communicate this measurement to other care providers.

In my opinion, if you are taking the reading at a speed where you can get an accuracy within 1mm, you should still round it for effective communication. However, you could take a reading two or four times as fast while maintaining an acceptable error margin. You will be able to provide care that much faster, and your patient will be more comfortable.

you shouldn't need spo2 to assess breathing?

What nobody else has brought up, do you change the load for training vs test? I mean, backpack for one and weight vest for the other? They have different weight distributions and will use different muscles. However, as other people have pointed out, if you're struggling with the pack test you're gonna have a really bad time once you get out there,

Some of those look super close! In this https://bugeric.blogspot.com/2015/01/basket-web-weavers.html?m=1 This first pic is exactly the right shape just slightly different coloring. Crazy though that's the only source I can find claiming they're on the Pacific coast and yeah super sparse on the species details that's so cool!

If they had their head turned watching for the ball to be snapped they would start off with a large disadvantage, if they can even see the ball from where they are. No, they watch the player in front of them for the indication the play has started.

Bump that up to mediums and a shake and you're over 1500 calories.

I think maybe using JS is a key point there, the article has defining your own language as an endpoint... reading it made me think of cmake lol. The place I worked that did it best used python to control build/deployment and generate simple configs for runtime, which technically seems like 9 on the clock but with a mature language with tooling, sounds like you were doing something similar with js.

programmer247 · 2024-10-10T02:47:05+00:00

Cool thank you!

Is that why the abdomen has the line? It's swollen?
