Line Arrows

[The Kraken]

Just as an aside, I NEVER plan to do any cave diving, but for my own edification, which war are line arrows placed on the line? With the pointed end pointing to the exit?

when used as a directional marker YES, when two arrows face opposite directions it signals a diver that they are half way between two exits, and when two arrows face the same direction this is a marker for a jump(both arrows point to the exit) when a diver ties in a jump reel were there is no marker they can use a non-directional marker (cookie) to mark were their exit is (the cookie is placed on the exit side of the mainline)

it's always a good idea to mark your personal arrows so you know that they belong to you and your not following arrows that another diver left (maybe to a different exit)

A directional marker/line arrow can be placed on the line indicating the direction of exit where the jump is made & the cave diver can then tie into the line arrow to prevent the line from moving up or down the line.

Why even ask if you NEVER plan to do any cave diving? If you DID decide to do some cave diving, surely you would get training first, and it would then be explained.

I am curious about a ton of stuff I never plan to do. I doubt very seriously that he is trying to trick some "training" out of someone.

Nah, I know TK personally. He is the last guy you'll find in a hole. I've tried talking him into coming and taking cave training with me and he gives me a definate "no way in heck" everytime.

this is, by far, the best way to tie in , it prevents line slack

Because it suited me to do so; because I wanted to know.
Any other questions?

Thats just plain ol'e crazy talk boy!!!

 

[The Kraken]

Yes, it is, isn't it?
Knowledge is such a useless thing.

You know, some members respond to a question with a very civil and polite, "yes", while others . . . ?
