    Flint locker retrieval

    And... Installation at 1:08, removal at 20:03 I prefer a "floating" anchor. but when it get stuck on a branch during retrieval, or jams in the tie-in, it's pretty frustrating

    Flint locker retrieval

    Do you mean where the ring/biner/quickie is attached to the rope? I like to plan routes where I can descend from my tie-in downwards. I find in some trees it's more efficient for me to redirect through branch unions and not plan to return from where I came from. By the time I'm on the...

    Flint locker retrieval

    This looks like it'd be very consistent and controlled.

    Flint locker retrieval

    With this it looks like the knot blocking will pull the flint locker down as you pull your climb line. Do you find the green ring adds friction to your climb line (as you retrieve it) if you've taken some redirects?

    Flint locker retrieval

    I've been using flint locker type thing for canopy anchors. I'm wondering if a anyone knows a simple way to ensure that it gets to the ground instead of risking that it gets caught on something on the way down.

    Any thoughts on the Chameleon Static Kernmantle from Teufelberger?

    Wondering if anyone uses it. I like the reuse aspect, but how would it compare to something like KM III?

    Chainsaw pants

    I've found that the material usually gets destroyed from seams getting pulled open, crotches getting blown out, etc. It's possible that the base layer might also get snagged, but I feel like the main protective material of my past pants have been intact, so hopefully the base layer will still...

    Chainsaw pants

    Thanks all. I was looking at the Clogger all season and the Gladiators, but I really like the idea of the base layer/outer shell that Arbortec have. If I only have to replace the outer shell every once and awhile, instead of a complete set, that might make more sense to me.

    Chainsaw pants

    Anyone have any recommendations for really tough chainsaw pants? I've gone through 2 in the last 4 months because I stretched and the material ripped too much to be fixed (not crotch related).

    Rope Runner Pro attachment point

    I'm sure someone has done this or asked about it, but I couldn't find the discussion. I was thinking about replacing the main attachment part of the rope runner with a quickie. My desire is to make it a little shorter. I can't see that the main attachment part of the rope runner pro is there...

    Mature tree regrowth

    There is a lot of dieback in the tree. Basically what I was thinking was reducing the crown over time to the point where it is putting on new growth. The thing I am wondering is by the time this happens, will the epicormic growth be too big to leave considering how weak they probably will be...

    Mature tree regrowth

    It's Manitoba maple/box elder. The crown isn't big, maybe 35 feet height and spread. The new growth the I would eventually cut it to starts at about the 15 foot height. The client wants to keep it. We are discussing a strategy where we reduce it over time.

    Mature tree regrowth

    I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the structural strength of new growth (epicormic) on a mature tree that is in slow decline. I think this new growth would be stronger than the re-growth from a topped section. But since it is a response to losing foliage from the exterior sections of...

    Ninja? What's up with that?

    I can see the wear on my strap. Not totally convinced to replace it when it brakes.

    Ninja? What's up with that?

    I've been using the ninja for the last couple months. Some climbs I find it's quite fluid, some climbs it will kick out or my line will drag/cams won't let my line through. I don't think it's about the weight of the line since this will happen when I'm 20+ feet up. Anyone have any tips on how...
