    use tail to setup secondary system

    I agree, any time I don't have an immediate means of exit is not a fav. Very occasionally use tail with Blakes, but a small diameter long lanyard in a ditty bag feels cleaner if planned ahead. But I am more of a scramble out there and get it done climber, which is fast but not always comfortable...

    tree working and hernias

    Had my second inguinal mesh repair a month ago, was laid out hard for ~2weeks and super rough shape. Did a pretty strenuous hike with boulder scrabbling last weekend and felt decent but sore. The irritation/soreness by the mesh is such a weird feeling, kinda like having velcro under your skin...

    SAKA scores in the World Cup

    England France game was wild, fun to watch and the ref getting cramps was a first too. Wonder how many km he ran up and down the field?

    SAKA scores in the World Cup

    The Spain France game was cool as hell, but I was rooting for Spain and assuming they'd lose. Shutting down the star front line of France, pretty impressive.

    Climate change in your life and work

    As to the methane: we produce ooooodles of it in our landfills, livestock feedlots, sludge systems etc and there are existing and profitable systems to capture. Tighten up our infrastructure efficiency (fiscally conservative vertical integration) while producing domestic energy from waste...

    Climate change in your life and work

    Coal and oil etc are renewable, assuming we bury enough dinosaurs and whatnot. No need to change our ways for any reason, ya damn sheep.

    Nesting birds and tree workers

    Quality and always nice to hear people who are ethical and decent. Sadly/disturbingly that is often not the case.

    Technique for climbing dead tree while TIP in another.

    That sounds like a fine policy and smart. The unsaid caveat being some living trees are more of a death trap than some dead ones; there are many living trees that you+I would choose not to climb too. We climb a fair amount of dead white pine and red oak which are stable beyond yr 1, and then...

    Texting a business card

    Gone 11 yrs without a website, and probably 8yrs of saying I should get a website. Just having a FAQ list to point people to would be nice.

    Technique for climbing dead tree while TIP in another.

    Once you start using them you'll never go back. Or perhaps we're climbing more iffy trees?? Just having one on to dampen rigging loads or reduce climbing wiggle, even if the tree is solid, makes life more pleasant. Can then be the pull rope for the peg. We put in two to triangulate a dead oak...
