I ended up getting mine late on Friday. I played with it a bit that night and a lot on Saturday. I really like it. The response is very good, I love that itā€™s durable, but beyond that itā€™s just fun. I managed to land a kickflip a few times in a row so I was happy with that. I would buy a second one.

What string is everyone using on theirs? Iā€™ve had Kitty fat on mine and itā€™s worn pretty shaggy so time to change and Iā€™m thinking of trying cotton next. ---

Use poly. Kitty string goes pretty shaggy at the best of times. ---

Original Throw should work well, but I usually use sochi regular. ---

I really like new Kitty fats. Theyā€™ve really grown on me, they last noticeably longer than old Kitty which I still enjoyed. Markmont Amy was my old go to for modern responsive stuff though, itā€™s really nice if you want something a bit softer. Feels about the same thickness as Kitty fat, but lasts infinitely longer if you run it though the wash whenever you do laundry. ---

Iā€™ve been using a string lab Kapow on mine. Perfect thickness for me and lasts a while. ---

I just got my first markmont string and am bummed out that I need more. You go with regularly or thick? ---

I always go with thick Markmont blends personally. I feel like theyā€™re in the same realm as Kitty where the regular/normal blend is thinner than most over strings, the thicks/fats are perfect though. ---

I use Alphaline, seems to work great with the Survivalist. Lasts quite a while too, longer than I was expecting given the gap/response system. ---

Thatā€™s good. Iā€™ll order some Sochi, but I have Alphaline now. Iā€™m usually not too picky about string, but the response holes I think call for something thinner. Another q @anon5341354 , is the gap supposed to be adjustable or is the intent to push the halves together all the way? Iā€™ve been opening the gap a bit to keep that ragged string out of the response holes. ---

I believe Glenn discouraged me from opening the Survivalist whenever possibleā€¦ i think if you keep messing with the gap you might loosen the grip around the axel. ---
