 Re: Burnt flip line
The problem with aluminum is it has extremly low heat resistance,you might hit a knot in a tree and crack or break the point off or maybe bend the shank,yes sob and cry and chuck them,i don't want to here about you getting hurt if they were steel it might be differnt but because they're aluminum and have been exposed to an estimated 1,000 degrees farinheit throw them out.i know probably not what you wanted to hear but remeber oops is a famous last word.If need be until you get gaffs use 2 pieces of rope knoted togther tied with a girth hitch around the trunk and do spurless removals.its safer then using compromised gear. |
