    New device from ISC

    Rapel racks are not passive on ascent which is in my mind how the uni and zigzag differentiate from them... Looks like the folks that were the first to clone a ZK2 are in turn being cloned.

    Can trees be too big to cable?

    I am noting 15,400 lbs. for 3/8ths EHS at TreeStuff in their product notes. I asked the ISA via email if there was intent to update the BMPs to dovetail with the new ANSI A300 and they did not respond. I also asked whether the current BMPs were intended to complement the current ANSI A300...

    Can trees be too big to cable?

    Large southern live oak limbs do require additional support that matches the loads they will experience. Unfortunately, there is some disconnect between installation, materials, and hurricanes. I will not comment on the ANSI A300 standard because it is not in front of me and I have not read...

    Hiring a climber/ employee from out of area

    My superficial take; these seem like they might be the differences between company workflow as much or more than regional workflow, and it can't be that hard to work around tall single trunk trees unless you're more often than not in 60+ dbh. I agree with ATH that the learning curve ought to...

    Bolting or cable splitting tree

    If it's not going to hit the house and it has a good leaf flush then it is a candidate for bracing and cabling.

    Want to buy comms!...

    I have two crews using the Sena Mesh put together by Arbsession on Kask Superplasmas. After a year we have not broken a system yet - just stripped two mic wires that we were able to put back together. I ordered extra mics to stay with the crews. The Mesh is so much easier to link up with - no...

    When is ART going to get on board with SRS?

    I respect Hubert's work greatly based on its reputation, but have never bought a piece of ART gear. The devices appear refined and from another school of thought that ran parrallel/separate to @treebing 's discovery. ART was a bit unique as a company/inventor mashup. My thus superficial...

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    I think it's important to hold the idea of treating people how they wanted to be treated alongside how I want to be treated.

    How's the work flow?

    I talked to him a few years ago and he just felt he was getting better and better as he aged. Following him in our group - it was incredible to watch how proficient he is.
