The vertec is finally starting to grow on me but the form factor and more consistency with the akimbo 2 still holds its ground as my go to device currently.
In MRS is the top lever sensitive like the zigzag? In the sense where if you’re in a burr oak or mulberry or some other Velcro nonsense tree every little branch and twig can bump it a little?
I do think ropes behave or feel different when canopy tied vs base tied but that’s just my opinion. I still prefer tachyon any of the “ash” varieties for my SRS work line, for me I like the slight “give” but it’s not necessarily a bounce to me, the orange and green “standard” tachyon I swear are...
Anyone here transition from utility to residential or other sector? Utility here pays quite well and the benefits are solid but starting to experience mental burnout and the ever changing trimming specs that you can’t help but shake your head at (they’d like to try “enhanced” trimming again this...
