    I'm ready to stop footlocking, but I am overwhelmed with SRT.

    Acronyms

    I talked with Tim Bushnell this weekend and the point of how confusing acronyms are becoming. He said that for the purpose of ITCC rules they are just going to start writing it out. After seeing a few of these threads i have to completely agree. Why not just spell it out since we are creating so...

    Husqvarna Euro Chainsaw pants size small

    They are very different fits. The francitals are looser and ride a little lower too (i def need to get some suspenders for them). Weight wise they are just slightly heavier (amazing actually) I noticed they are slightly hotter too (wish they had vents, also don't think black was the best color...

    Husqvarna Euro Chainsaw pants size small

    I just started wearing chainsaw pants. I gotta say i was skeptical, but after just about 3mnths in them, i am completely sold. I have pfanner arborist, pfanner vents, and francitals. I noticed how important the rear vent is during the hot days. Also suspenders are important to keep them in...

    DRT

    Ok how is the clicks less? Lanyarding in is 2 clicks removing is two clicks. how is that different for a second line? unclip from harness, run around branch and reconnect. Then when leaving spot, unclip from harness retrieve from "redirect" and reclip to harness. same amount of clips?

    DRT

    The rope runner would work well as a back up. even during a fast decent if you let go, you come to a gradual stop not a sudden or abrupt stop (which is nice).

    Good observation!!! That def seems to be a huge contributor in why it was so catastrophic!

    meanwhile....in Hong Kong

    weather it was a block or not wasn't the factor though cause it wasn't the lowering rope that snapped it was the attachment to the false crotch. To big, and didn't run. Good thing he tied in like he did, he could have just as easily went over the top, or slid all the way to the ground, tied into...

    I would bet more rope in the system, specifically for energy absorption.
