Personally I just don't feel comfortable at a decent height being tied in with just a lanyard. Like when I was doing crane jobs and I'd be at the top and doing the transition between being tied into the crane to wrapping my line around the trunk as a back up / bail out, I couldn't get...
These are my two this year. First time going with the all blue lights. I think I spent around $106.00 and used probably around twenty or more sets. Forgot the actual total lol. Some might say it’s a lot of money to spend on lights but I enjoy doing it and my neighbor’s like it.

Similar with a...

I haven't given it much thought until Soundtree pointed it out in a...
