    Technique for climbing dead tree while TIP in another.

    I use guy lines for so many other things, I don't know how it hadn't ocurred to me to guy trees during use for support.

    Glaciertek.com Coolvests

    I don't recall anyone mentioning that before, but I did wonder about the how cold they feel on you. I'm also noticing that I'm losing my heat tolerance with age a little bit each year, so I was thinking about getting a vest, but I already don't like wearing any more than I need to. When I move...

    SAKA in the World Cup

    Uruguay punches way above their weight class, so to speak. They've won twice, including beating Brazil, though that was in 1950. They hosted the first World Cup in 1930 [then the World Championship) and won against Argentina. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguay_at_the_FIFA_World_Cup Super...

    SAKA in the World Cup

    My Uruguyans got knocked out right away, but at least they were in it for a sec; Chile failed to even qualify. Now I just have Argentina to root for.

    Break test on a climbing line that has been “spiked”

    I have been suuuuuper cautious and have managed not to spike a rope in a few years, but I don't get to climb as much as I would like, so the odds are greatly reduced. I don't keep my gaffs sharp either, so I appreciate the info here. I won't stress abput it so much if it happens.

    Break test on a climbing line that has been “spiked”

    I have cut mine when I did that, but I caught it while descending, and just like you the wind push it into the path of my spur. I pulled a strand way out, So I had to cut out about 4' to not have a weird tail on either remaining section

    reg coates climbing and rigging is next level

    The only part that confuses me still is where he puts his genitals when he's climbing. I assume he has devised a method for detaching them, because I don't see how he would have much room to work otherwise. Seeing that cool looking Madrone had me feeling a yearning for the real PNW.

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    I have never tried running a piece with 4.5 wraps, or even 4. I thought that more than three was effectively locking it off.

    Saw pants sales?

    the cut pro in the solidur pants is polyester, not one of the high tech fibers. mine got bunched up in a hurry, and I began to have serious doubts that they would actually stop a saw anymore. They would still pass an inspection, but I didn't trust them after 6 months, and they are now my...

    Trail Cam and Wildlife Thread

    When I first moved onto my land, We heard the cougars really loudly during mating season. I thought they must be suuuuper loud for us to hear them so clearly. Whrn I looked up how far away you can hear them, I read that as clearly as I heard them, they were probably about 200' from the tent we...
