    Isa website so bad it’s embarrassing

    The ISA is a racket.

    Energy absorber for rock climbing.

    Yeah there's a new Buck harness that just came out that is both. Nice for working in a lift, jump out and climb anytime you want

    Lanyard snap attachment

    Or just take some three-strand and backsplice onto an existing snap. Very easy. 3 strand makes a great lanyard.

    Lanyard snap attachment

    These are nice, I have one, openable. Add to any spliced hank you have. Most trimming lanyards for me come from old climb lines that got nicked. https://www.wesspur.com/petzl-eashook-open

    Mounting a pulley for my moving rope system in a tree

    I would just leave throwline installed where you want the pulley, use it to pull up an anchor line with a pulley on the end, and your climb line through the pulley. Tie off the anchor line to that tree or one close by. Reverse the process to get lines out, leaving throwline in place for next...

    tool/chainsaw lanyard attachment options while in a bucket truck?

    This test was frigid. Definitely a worst case scenario as far as dropping a saw goes. They don't always fall so violently. A more dynamic/stretchy lanyard would make a world of difference for peak load...

    tool/chainsaw lanyard attachment options while in a bucket truck?

    Well I don't want to be constantly thinking about the temperature when I'm working and wondering if its appropriate for my breakaway connection. Now I'm leaning more towards the split key ring connection, like Drayer uses. https://drayer.de/en/tango-chainsaw-lanyard-classic

    tool/chainsaw lanyard attachment options while in a bucket truck?

    The first tests that I did, I just looped the zip ties onto the ladder rung and then clipped the lanyard to them. This definitely had them loaded unevenly and breaking one at a time. I took that test up to 8 zip ties that broke easily from the drop test. So then I switched to the Delta link so...

    New TreeBuzz Ad Format???

    Yeah same here, Brave browser on Android phone and Windows laptop. No ads, no glitches. On a side note, Tom must be laughing at the suggestion that's he's "sold out" for the big ad revenue. I highly doubt this site makes any money. Guaranteed this newest issue is just a glitch. Carry on.

    tool/chainsaw lanyard attachment options while in a bucket truck?

    I agree that precise saw handling helps mitigate the potential of a saw being snatched, and for myself, saw snatching is not of particular concern. Not because it has never happened to me, but in general I feel I know how to avoid it. This is how confidence works, we feel that it's all well and...

    tool/chainsaw lanyard attachment options while in a bucket truck?

    I've never used a saw lanyard in a lift or seen it done. I don't have enough faith in breakaway lanyards to trust them in that scenario. The potential loading on the lift if the lanyard doesn't immediately break is far more dangerous than dropping the saw, in most cases, in my opinion. Depending...

    Stihl gas and oil caps like or loath?

    I loathe the Stihl caps because I've seen them come off so many times. Can you imagine how much fuel and oil have been spilled worldwide over the years because of that design? When Husqvarna moved to the flip-up screw cap design 10 years ago I went and bought the new caps to replace all my old...
