    Anyone able to recommend a full Haas Knee ascender setup ?

    I would never be offended by such a question/comment, in fact I appreciate it. My father taught me to "remain teachable". Anyhow ...so for me, I send up my spliced end of the rope over a branch TIP, and than I use a running bowline backed up with a couple half hitches and ill put a carabiner in...

    Anyone able to recommend a full Haas Knee ascender setup ?

    You guys rule! Thank you so much. I have a good idea of what I will replace my Haas with now when that time comes. Now I just need to replace these old eye to eyes with something newer. I think I will keep using the Samson rope I have as it is low stretch and works great for both SRT ascent or...

    largest chip box I can have on a f350-450 sized dump truck....??

    hello tree buzz, I am often a weekend warrior doing tree work. for a while now I have been saving up to buy a chipper truck and have decided it would be best for me not to get a larger sized truck this time around anyways. Although the 15-20 yard chipper bodys are awesome it would be too much...

    before arborist blocks....

    how did climbers rig down the wood before arborist blocks? Now I know about using a half hitch when u have a stub to hold it from sliding down the trunk but what if there was no branches for like 50 feet and you had to lower sections of wood to avoid a target? -newschool climber :)

    good question I was wondering the same......So more than a few times this has happened to the crew : pulling over a backleaner with not enough mechanical advantage or man power.

    Sewn Eye Splice Bridge (2014 Sequoia)

    I am wondering how safe you all would feel climbing with this bridge. heres a link to the new sequoia harness and you can see the bridge is just a sewn eye. A local guy told me if you were to knick one of those white threads the side of that splice the whole splice would fail. If this were...
