    Future of the ITCC

    Have to think on the flip side as well. The more exposure we get, the more the consumers will expect of us. Say a customer saw how fast you were on TV and then had hired you. It wouldn't take long for him/her to see that he isn't getting what he thought. And in the customers eyes this wouldn't...

    2007 Rules

    [ QUOTE ] The way I see it Rob (and UK best practice taught), is until you get to a casualty, you won't know if their line is trapped/cut/damaged. Hence, we teach be prepared to put a casualty onto the rescuer's system, and plan the system accordingly. No point wasting time getting there...

    Tree Motion

    I checked my CC and not activity so I would guess not. From information I learned last week the final product was just approved. So my guess would be that it is still gonna be a few weeks between being shipped from overseas and then being processed and shipped by Sherrill.

    Simon would you mind sharing with me what company it was. If you don't want to post it in the open please PM then. I always am looking about to network in our area and like to know who to steer clear of. Thanks.

    Friction hitches

    KS, every other time tie the hitch from the other side. If you usually tie it doing your raps clockwise just switch it counter clockwise your next time. I have noticed the same and after a few climbs the rope can really get twisted up and then when doing a larger tree they end up not going...

    mechanical split tails

    There was a new device called the LineBoss. http://lineboss.com/ There had 2 different ones at the show. One was made of steel and the other made of Titanium, which is nicer looking but much more money. Still waiting for a buddy of mine to buy it so I can try it out.

    General Life Span for Gear

    I seem your point PU. I should clarrify that the rope would be used at least once a day and run through a natural crotch. I am one of only 2 that use a friction saver/rope guide. Tom thanks for the chart and it looks like some good info to share. Only problem is I can only see about the 1st few...

    General Life Span for Gear

    I was talking with a few buddies the other day at work about how long you should use your climbing equipment. I told them after a year of daily use a rope gets cut up and then is used for tieing down ladders and such. They hit the roof and where saying at least 3 years they are good. So I...

    treeMotion

    Just wanted to post an update for those that did not recieve the letter from Sherrill and the company making it. After much delay, it will finally be shipped to the US on 3-16-07. This date was set by the makers not the distributors so I would imagine this will be the final date. Not sure what...

    Sawpod???

    I just recieved mine today. Compared to the buckingham one, I fell it is like night and day. More light weight as well as extremely comfortable. Those wide strechy straps are great. Only question I have is how well does that fabric hold up.

    Picking and choosing what to follow of the Z?

    The Z doesn't say anything about min. prussik cord diameter. All that it say is that is shall meet minimum strength rating for arborist lines. And with climbing lines, I think there are quiet a few climbers that use their rope for climbing SRT. So what they might have done, is used tests from...

    Fiddle Blocks?

    I use my FB for all types of jobs. Either pullng over leaners, lifting wood into the truck or pre-tensioning SD trees. And like LAz said, I almost always back it up with a porty. Though the combo isn't as effective as the GRCS, for the price it is well worth it. As well for the time it takes to...

    Adding work

    In most cases though I would just do the little extra cause it usually is just something that takes 5 mintues. If it is anything more though, we just let them know that the estimate they were given was for said work and any addition would be more but we are unable to give a price for it. If they...

    another fataity in nj

    [ QUOTE ] Another sad ending. My prayers go out to his Family. I just don't get it, it sounds like NJ for one(and,yes I know others) need some kind of safety ads running 24-7. The statement is not to be mean, I'm wondering what makes NJ a hot-spot. Does anyone have a number breakdown, of the...
