I'm as redneck as the next ALDEER brother. Last edited by Vernon Tull; 12/18/14 12:33 PM.

It wouldn't matter how specific you were or if you invented the dang process and had a patent on it. This is aldeer someone will still tell you that you are wrong. One day the right woman will come along and the next thing you know you'll be wearing her underwear!

Just the fact that dipping the cables in water would put moisture in the cables and could start the process of corrosion... Pretty sure that no one wants to climb a tree in a climber that has a corroded cable.
