    Decoding Patterns of Forces

    i play with numbers on computer, to verify, decode, extend etc. understandings to functional models >>so need for math under fire>>have model references, few benchmark numbers , flow of pattern and sense of what is right/wrong building But, also, to pick apart things to see if that is what i've...

    Beginner climbing gear?

    Be best to kinda be under someone's wing, see what they have etc. as some benchmark starting point. Have seen some places will allow you to sit in harness(es) in store hanging from rope/toes on floor. . Diaper seat for beginning tree climbing i think is jest something we tell mountain/rescue...

    Friction hitches

    I think in terms of single input/open vs. dual input/closed versions of same visual architecture >>tho forcewise, ushering forces thru differently extrudes different effects especially in tension ratio of how hitch grabs host life line. >>single input/open friction hitch brings full force to...

    falling challenge big tulip through deck

    i do believe in L.U.C.K. (Labor Under Controlled Knowledge); and the more i practice, the luckier i seem to get. i also beleive Google showed how data can be king, and am constantly observing, taking in that data of how things play out even if not for this time; for the future; and as...

    Friction hitches

    i think we look at friction hitch in face, with own life on it in more of a microscope of focus than other knots. Also, the totally specialized movements we target different than other rope functions, and we hold them to higher precision also. Compared to other working knot HOLDS of load, we...

    Ashley's Book of Knots

    Hervey Smith "The Marlinspike Sailor" is where these come from that i posted long ago: General: This one prized as found, re-affirmed the 'inset pulley system' inside another for more output by maintaining single 'ground' connection to load to maximize; and so tried to offer as further...

    Pruning Warranty?

    Might cut more and have same response of tree fighting back, Fed by more light , especially on sun side over 9mos. . Healthy competing tree as king of the jungle imagery, teased suddenly with the light it seeks. It wants to shade ground from competitors and better chance leaves don't blow...

    Pruning Warranty?

    Start by playing it backwards from way been looking. Can you walk neighbor roof with pole lopper and resolve in few cuts? Or 6 super low, leave for city in 10mins with a15yr. old helper >>or minimize in other fashion Redefine:what really drives CX request: Is the neighbor the actual...

    Screw gate Carabiner for rigging Question(s) and rigging concepts!

    One of the biggest advances I ever made was surpassing slings only for speed line mindset handed down. . The amount of things I found to do with them once committed to always carrying for: presets just waiting for rig line back, several drops on 1 line, steering, increasing/decreasing rope...

    Screw gate Carabiner for rigging Question(s) and rigging concepts!

    We build temporary support structures, to then support and possibly swing something on the fly. >>this is in every way, support architecture of what or portions of what weight we don't 'bomb out'. . TOTALLY separate, please note safety warning of captive eye/slings please.. Simple Round Turn on...

    Screw gate Carabiner for rigging Question(s) and rigging concepts!

    i didn't use the 'boot' wrap too much, specifically on some stiff line to give some forgiveness and experimentation, think box etc. .

    Screw gate Carabiner for rigging Question(s) and rigging concepts!

    i don't remember a specific chart on this, many knot tests etc. at Pro Assoc. of Climbing Instructors (PACI ) if Mark Gommers alias agent.Smith made a .pdf seen, the password = thankyou , quite simply.. . But hear goes.. . Webbing/flat rope on a tight bight of krab etc. For me has an advantage...

    Screw gate Carabiner for rigging Question(s) and rigging concepts!

    Legal CYA of conservative rating. Quality companies will bluff low, plenty of usable powerband within rating range, even if not new. Others, not so much. . Same with just a little over weight cereal box or milk volume; best if .gov inspection catches you just a toe over the line, rather than...

    Screw gate Carabiner for rigging Question(s) and rigging concepts!

    I prefer twirl screw gate around to spin close downwards, seat, back off 1/8 turn + as anti jam. I was never much on gloves, groundies wore them tho and taught'em to roll blade of extended hand against it to spin lock open, then open carabinier cleanly.. Used carabiner mostly on larger stuff. ...

    How to set a high pull line on a limbless spar

    I've used this for putting lines in palm trees originally. Then to branchless Deadish pines many with no tops or a position can hit but is at or above weakness. Go for high firm leverage point. Throw line over babiest little branches just strong enough to coax real line into strong position...

    Little tricks

    Figured I'd add this windlass innovation here . . Very nice raw redneck power, nice reverse solution of large log length arc input into much smaller log diameter to concentrate effort input into smallest output movement >>for greatest power return from 2x crank arm length input position from...
