I cut all wire off for sure. Depending on burlap and how the roots look, I usually place in planting hole, backfill a little to stabilize, then peel back the burlap about halfway down the ball and cut. Mind you, this is only on natural burlap, not the synthetic stuff.
Nice shout out Bix! As a veteran climber, Jomoco has a lot of valid knowledge and experience. If people did not agree with his wtc thread, they did not need to respond and keep dialogue going. It's an open forum, keep it open.
Re: how do I know \"How big I can go?\", until.....
That's a pretty bold statement. It can never hurt to know ballpark weights and further your knowledge of rigging and the weights/forces involved.
and some CA's seem to be ignorant of all the information they ever read/learned and have basically no professional standards of conduct. Baselines are great if people follow them. (This is the biggest complaint of mine where I work)
Bunch of random gear laying around in my bag, needs to go!
ART Positioner w/swivel- $100. Used for about a year, not abused. Still grabs well on 11mm rope.
CMI Velocity mini trolley- $40. Never used.
DMM Revolver/ISC Mini HMS/CT HMS- $50 (would like to sell all 3 together). Revolver used once...
They do run small, like tom mentioned. I'm usually a L, but wear XL. The hitch issue is still present, but I find that they are less prone than the blue atlas to severe shredding. Throw them in the compost pit when done.
go greens bamboo! Less stink, more life, and biodegradable. They have great feel and last longer than the blue atlas. You can get a dozen online for 25 bucks. Fuckking awesome.
