Just starting to learn the ropes and have to make a decision on which to buy. I am practising with my 9/16 braided anchor line (lots of strength) trying both body thrust and drt secure footlocking. purchased some prusik cord but having trouble with my hitches tightning up and being difficult to advance thinking of trying "Poison Ivy" any suggestions would be appreciated.

Poison Ivy is wonderful stuff, especially with the HRC cord and an advance hitch, like the Knut, which is being talked about right now under the "Blakes Hitch on SRT" thread. Check it out.
