    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    I have, and only once. I was running the rope, and didn’t pull in the slack for the fraction of a second it was in free fall. I learned instantly from that, and have never lost a half wrap since. I also managed to stop the 10’ long 16” fir log before it hit, but scary.

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    I also call that third pic a half wrap, but to distinguish easily "no wrap" from "no porty", I call out "just hook it up".

    Maaaaaaan, I wish I wasn't locked in to a 3k/month lease until next April. If this had been posted in Feb, I would have been there in a second, even if only to do it for 3-5 years.

    that never occurred to me, but I bet it fucking does!! the heads are interchangeable, and the poles look like they are the exact same diameters. I will see if I can test it out this weekend

    TRAQ "manual" vs BMP 3rd ed.?

    It's my first time. I asked but they said they'd send it 35 days before the class. I will just buy the BMP if they don't include a copy as part of the curriculum

    I have heard that the resins harden like glass after lightning stike and they get way harder to cut. Like, keep a bunch of extra chains for that day level hard.

    TRAQ "manual" vs BMP 3rd ed.?

    Like the title suggests, is there a different manual that they give you a month before the class, or is it the BMP, currently in it's 3rd edition?

    New device from ISC

    Yea that looks super fresh. It's obviously seen minimal wear, so if they're just replacing it... that is not gonna be sustainable for them if they are actually wearing out that fast, and their plan is to replace them one at a time

    There are now several established methods for doing parallel core splices. I have yet to attempt one, but it's just been a little while since I really needed to splice anything

    New device from ISC

    I'm really curious what they intend to do to it besides replacing worn parts (i.e. giving you a new one/yours with all wear elements replaced.
