    Linear Force as a Dimension Model

    Trust me Kenny, there are still folks around here like me (though I don't post as often anymore) who care and appreciate the hard work, time and effort that you put in to your posts! What dept. are you working in now?

    Broke two rules and paid the price.

    Definitely would like to know how this could happen, even with 2nd hand chaps? And what's an 18" drop? Are you talking about drop starting, without the chain break on and hand on the trigger, like you're trying to clear a flooded saw?

    ART BlackBird for "MRT and SRT"

    Well, that's as close to zero sit-back in a Multicender that I have seen yet. Thanks for posting that Gordan. I think Reg's device also has zero sit-back.

    ART BlackBird for "MRT and SRT"

    So, if the upper parts work as a RopeWrench, in theory when the Blackbird engages on rope during ascending and then stopping, there should be some sit-back, like with the RW, right? This doesn't appear to be the case from what I can find and see in the videos. As far as I know (correct me if I...

    ART BlackBird for "MRT and SRT"

    So it works along the same line as the RopeWrench?

    When is ART going to get on board with SRS?

    Well, 7 years later and ART definitely got on board with SRT/SRS, only they didn't call it the new BlackBerry, but the BlackBird! Ha, ha. Though Hubert wasn't a fan of SRT/SRS, I wish that he was still around to see what direction his company has gone. I'm sure that he would be proud.

    New Ascender from Reg Coates

    I totally understand Reg, and it's all good! Great things take time.

    New Ascender from Reg Coates

    I am curious to see if the Blackbird will have a zero sit back when engaged the way that Reg's device does. That to me, is a great feature.

    The Body Language of Trees

    I have that book, plus Claus' other books in my library and they are full of useful information.

    New Ascender from Reg Coates

    I haven't climbed on Arborplex since the 1990's and never will again. Yes, it's great for natural crotch rigging, but honestly, I can't see any professional arborist, let alone someone who uses SRT/SRS Multicenders ever consider using it anymore for climbing. There are just better ropes out there.
