    Cleaning hitch cord

    Some of my hitch cords are pretty dirty and have some minor glazing. Any thought on a good way to clean them? I was thinking just warm water with a little laundry detergent and a toothbrush.

    Struggling with srt

    For a long time I struggled with srt because I was supporting a lot of my weight with my arms to keep myself upright. My forearm muscles would get exhausted after only 20 feet or so. I've heard comments from others saying they have similar problems. If so, you might try this. Don't let your...

    Petzl ZigZag & Zillion Recall

    Mine was part of the recall. Petzl replaced it, and were very professional about it. I received a new one a couple of weeks ago. Ive had about 4 climbs on the new one. I loved my old zz. It functioned like two silk sheets rubbing together. Other than the small amount of slippage, it was...

    That looks very similar to the specs of the rope westech is selling.

    Good deal on 3 strand?

    Westech rigging supply has half inch 3 strand polyolefin with breaking strength of 6600 lbs for about 23 cents a foot. Has anyone used a rope of polyolefin in tree work? How well does it knot? Would you recommend it?

    Surprisingly its actually the opposite of that. Dont know exact numbers, but its something like two thirds of millionaires are self made individuals who inherited nothing, or relatively little. Most of these are entrepeneurs or contractors who started their own businesses and prospered.

    I stand by what i said. You may disagree. Cest la vie. I dont want to get into an endless back and forth where each side throws half truths at the other to defend their point of view. So ill just say this and depart the conversation...why is the media and the tech giants censoring what you can...

    Im seeing a lot of warped perspectives here. Like i said, september 2026. My bet is we are all going to be worse off. And why the continuing trump outrage? Are you really that afraid of him?

    Why such hatred for the wealthy? Most of them earned that money legitimately. Are you starving? You will be if the incentives for creation of wealth continue to be harmed. Ive reached an age where i try not to begrudge others what they have earned, and im honest enough in my own self appraisal...

    Ok then. Just remember to tell yourself in five years when youre looking in that mirror that it didnt have to happen. You were given a chance.

    I should know better than to get into a political discussion in a forum i enjoy with people i like, but, im kind of stupid that way, cuz i keep doing it. And i hate typing lengthy posts, cuz im on a tablet. Im just a little puzzled about the immense orange man hatred i keep seeing here. Trump...

    I just have one request of those who are supporting the cheater and puppet in the oval office. In five years, when yours and other blue collar wages have stagnated or decreased due to massive flooding of illegal aliens willing to work cheap, and you have come to realize the hell on earth your...

    Petzl ZigZag & Zillion Recall

    I have a zz plus with a serîal number in the affected range. I reported to petzl that my lower lever did seem to stick occasionally, and that sometimes i experience a few inches of slippage when loading. Petzl responded and asked for more personal info, which i supplied. That was ten days ago. I...
