    Knee ascender set-up

    Thanks for the input. I will probably go with the croll, seems like a no brainer in terms of versatility. I like the separate footloop idea, sounds simple and unobtrusive. I am certainly not against a neck tether, especially on a fairly clear ascent. I'm currently thinking of connecting to...

    Knee ascender set-up

    Just saw the beranek system on wesspur, knew I had seen a set up somewhere... Ok, disregard unless someone has any real slick set-ups. Thanks tom!

    Knee ascender set-up

    Looking for some advice on setting up a knee ascender. I've tried searching to no avail... My idea is a petzl basic or rope man, set up with a running bowline foot loop. My only problem is how/where to attach a bungee tether (i'm assuming?) to tend the ascender. I only SRT with the rope wrench...

    Fast forward pruning.

    It's all good Bix. Like you, I'm here to learn and enjoy the arborist community and sharing. Maybe our views differ in some ways, but in the end it's not worth squabbling over. My original post was pre-coffee, so it probably came off more harsh than I meant it to. Alohas! Ian

    Fast forward pruning.

    I wasn't hysterical, just calling it like I see it. I practice arboriculture and represent the industry as a steward for proper tree care, preservation, and the advancement of knowledge in the field.

    Fast forward pruning.

    If you treat everything in the world like there's no shortage, things become scarce fast. Bixler that's the most stupid shiit I've heard... "Well if you just keep the tree for return work every couple years you will make more profit off of it than just wacking it down from the start. That may...

    Morbark chipper question

    Not sure honestly, but I agree with that statement. The company chipper is pretty beat, but keeps going.

    Morbark chipper question

    Adjust the clutch. On our tornado, if the clutch is out of adjustment, chips don't throw hard. I have no idea why (not mechanically inclined), but I just pop the clutch cover and go one or two clicks to the right and good to go. We have to do this every few months I would say.

    broken gecko ultralights

    depending on the areas where it was broken, fiberglass repair is relatively easy, as mentioned. Quick cure resin can be used and a fix can be prepped, glassed, and sanded in under an hour.

    climbers that take small pieces all the time?

    Big pieces don't mean anything. Fast, safe, and efficient. There are times to go big, times to go small. Cuts/notches has little to do with piece size, it's about understanding rigging systems and the forces involved and being comfortable working in those parameters.
