    Go to canopy anchor?

    Yes exactly, even quicker with a spliced eye, clip accessory cord to the splice. I used to keep a 75 ft 6mm retrieval line in a little linemug bag

    Go to canopy anchor?

    I rarely use canopy anchors anymore, but for me, in deciduous trees, the floating soft 8 is the hands down winner. Homemade one, the commercial ones are too long for my liking. Retrieves easily even with redirects and very simple to set up. I use accessory cordage as a pulldown, don't like...

    ISC Nessie

    Yeah it happens, once, maybe twice a year. Annoying. But I'm not going to base my whole setup around that. I just let 'er hang. Simple. If I notice that it's hanging in a bad spot then I try and move it before making a cut. I have gotten better over the years at being more proactive to keep the...

    WTB - CMI trolley

    Yeah it's probably mostly just to sell more gear. It is nicer with a plate though. I wanted the plate on mine for versatility. I'll use it mostly for controlled speedline, reeving is just a bonus.

    WTB - CMI trolley

    No modification needed, the rigging plate is all 20mm holes which fit the shackle pins and the pulley bushings nicely.

    WTB - CMI trolley

    They are oilite. I cleaned up all the gunk with mild dish soap and then put some 3 in 1 on them. I should have maybe used synthetic motor oil eh?

    WTB - CMI trolley

    Nvm, made my own. I had 2 old CMI 5/8" pulleys that I hadn't used in a long time. Took them apart to get the sheave, bushing and axle. Drew a trolley and rigging plate on paper, then traced onto a tablet to digitize. Sent them to my friend who does CNC fabrication. He cut the trolley out of 1/8"...

    Short vs. Long Bridge?

    I've run two bridges for a long time now, gives me options for multiple lines and different setups. For a few years, one of them was adjustable with a Roll n Lock. I found myself hardly ever taking advantage of it. Think it was about a year and a half ago, I went back to just two normal...

    Today....

    New rig. Little 60 ft spider lift. Hybrid gas and li-ion. If I can disable the beeping it will be useable.

    New “ to me” Husqvarna Batteries?

    This is exactly what frustrates me most about battery saws, I have a whole range of different batteries and they all work a little different. Very frustrating calling down for a battery replacement only to be given an older/crappier one. Imagine carrying 4-6 different grades of mixed gas on...

    New HitchHikerXF

    That's interesting. I don't think I have ever once had a good experience with the distel, it's always just locked up tight on me...

    New HitchHikerXF

    Yeah the way I used to tie it is how Paul originally showed for the HH2. It worked fine, but I like it a lot more flipped around. Then Richard Mumford started recommending a different hitch that he called the Catalon, but I didn't have good results with it.
