    Rope grab recommendations for rigging

    The edelrid kaa peaked my interest but never heard of anyone actually using it in the field

    New device from ISC

    More akin to the zigzag, the links/top lever must function and grab without additional friction, atleast as the manual states currently. Been seeing quite a few posts across platforms of slippage on different ropes the one was 3? Separate lines. Now mind you the rope runner pro had a similar...

    Owl dead in tree

    Biggest threat with owls right now is rat poison/fert ingestions outside of struck by vehicles. Just had a senior male great Horned on my personal property that had broken its elbow joint essentially, which unfortunately is a death sentence but was cool to handle and see them up close! We have...

    Knee ascender attachment

    I’ve doubled up treemotion bungee using a fisherman’s bend to get more pull, I like it and it holds up fairly well. I’ve seen it used to go up and over the neck doubled for a comp set up (crazy tight like unable to stand up straight tight) I prefer for work/production to run it doubled to the...

    Knee ascender attachment

    Which saddle are you running? I found myself having the same issue when I was attaching to the normal point on my treemo, so I put a bungee loop(the extra treemotion cordage) about 6-8 inches down from the factory point and so it’s grabbing more from the middle of the saddle rather than the top...

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    for mechanical advantage with the bone can we capture the tail of rope for a typical 3:1 or does it need to be treated like the rope runner and use a “scam” style MA?

    2 Sets of LIGHTLY used Bashlin Aluminum pole gaffs

    With gaffs I’d have no issue buying used, as long as there’s no obvious deformities, whether that was even eBay or marketplace or treebay here. Buckingham has a close out store on eBay they tend to fire sale alot of their basic gaffs as well. Otherwise wesspur sells their pair of bucks with pads...

    TCIA Tailgate Safety Manual.

    We have a weekly tailgate we have to log in to and read over, it covers any incidents across the contractors as well as a topic of the week whether hydration, heat stroke, bug bites, frost laws etc and any change in policy. It’s a required weekly sign off and most guys check it when checking...

    Reflex vs. Blackbird

    So there is some confusion when it comes to the “high” and “low” friction settings for the blackbird. If you’re using the “a” cam for ropes between 11.2-11.9 diameter you shall use the “high” friction setting. However if your rope is above 11.9 mm you have to use the B cam and you shall use the...

    More crud to fuel the existential dread…

    They are absolutely delicious, they like the bases of oaks I’ve noticed locally.

    San Jose aerial rescue

    Saw the footage on instagram floating around from a news station. I understand the dangers involved with palms but not being a west coast or palm area trimmer, is it common for these to be solo climbs or run crews with only one trained/qualified climber? Or is this like a landscaper who does...
