    Balancing long limbs parallel to ground (crane slings)

    I have been miscalculating (tip heavy / light and butt the same) the dead eye slings when removing long parallel limbs. Maybe the sling angle too great? miscalculating center balance? Curious to rules of thumb too. Thx for help.

    Notch Glide Rope Grab

    Recently bought this. It does not loosen under any tension with steel core (no insert) lanyard. Tightening is smooth! Does it loosen under a load with a rope lanyard (with proper insert)? Recommendations?

    ARB'O Saddle

    Really cool to see the responses, especially from the owner. They donated a rope runner to Jake, Guilty of Treeson (YouTube) and thought that was very generous.
