    Saddle setup (picture thread)

    I didn't mean to rush you or be demeaning. It just seems many are more respected, than others. I didn't really ask a question about the Sequoia, though did respond to you, about the pros and cons of the TM and the Sequoia. Referencing your unique likes (good) of the TM, which I agree would be...

    Saddle setup (picture thread)

    I would never ignore another when they asked me a question. How can this be, then again there are exclusive forums where the camaraderie is sensationally selective.

    Saddle setup (picture thread)

    @islandarb I do agree it would be nice to have the floating leg loops of the TM, in the Sequoia. There are some things about the Sequoia that could be better, as with so many things. The hip Drings need to be a bigger on the Sequoia, limited space with the chainsaw lanyard carabiner and a...

    Saddle setup (picture thread)

    @levi r I haven't had that issue, but rarely use the bridge (I think I've only used it 4 times), I'm always hanging from the VAP on the SRT Sequoia. @ghostice That buckle is the waist buckle on the non-SRT Sequoia, eh. Sorry, can't load the link. Good thing the SRT version only has the loosing...

    Saddle setup (picture thread)

    I had to shorten the vertical distance of the loop, on the Sequoia, by melting it, for the DMM Wiregate Vault, because the Vault does not give enough vertical space in its loop area attachment. Poor design. Also, never understood why all tool hooks have the partial small hook at the end, and...

    Beal 11mm Access

    @Shadowscape I used the Beal rope in the ZZ Plus, for about 3years. Though all ropes stop smoothly enough, in the ZZ, one great thing about the Beal, is it self tends like no other, due to it's cover over core compression. And, even though it's less than the recommended diameter of rope, its...

    FTC Klik N'Ka spurs

    I have the older red Gecko UltraLight Aluminum Gaffs, (nice sized calf muscle shroud) which according to ArbSession are not made any more as of about 2020. But, if you have sorta nice ones like the Notch Climbers 2.0 (calf muscle shroud is a bit to large circumference for peoples, with smaller...

    Foot shaped boots (Non-Barefoot)

    I don't if others have noticed, but too many of these natural toe profile shoes (most notably Altra), have too much room beyond the smaller toes, making the foot swim in the front. And, not enough of a right angle for the big toe. LaSportiva did the best of a decent profile with their Leather...

    Beal 11mm Access

    Ya, I'd say greater toughness, in that nylon is more akin to spider silk than polyester, in that it has more strength due inpart to its innate elasticity. And Yes, "constructional elongation", which seems akin to resilience, could add to its surficial abrasion resistance. I'll have to reuse my...

    pretty good deal on some Merrell mid hikers

    Oh, well, I meant test, as in, a shoe store employee, said the store owner prefers Adidas over any shoe, the store sells (they don't sell Adidas). And she even said, I was spoiled having the grip of the Swift R2s. If you look at the reviews of the R2s, people who wore them miss them, and say how...

    pretty good deal on some Merrell mid hikers

    They could be improved having a natural toe profile. And, being a shoe [having no ankle support], is ideal, unless you're spiking and need achilles protection. They actually very durable, lasting about 3yrs of daily use. The tread is a great design, in that it will not hold dirt as much as other...

    pretty good deal on some Merrell mid hikers

    https://www.adidas.com/us/terrex-swift-r2-gore-tex-hiking-shoes/BC0383.html The best all round footwear I've ever worn. Apparently they're discontinued, Adidas store on Amazon, ended up having quite a few in many sizes, I bought 8 pairs before they sold out. People have done tests, and found...

    What was your humble beginnings like?

    @27RMT0N Well, I recently acquired MY first truck and chipper (not using my brother's), a 1999 7.3 F-350 DumpTruck and a 2011 BC1000XL with a Catapillar 2.2 liter, inline4, naturally aspirated engine, with 3100hrs. It was owned by Asplund its entire life. Before I settled on this chipper I was...

    Songs of Perfection

    @Howie65 I do think Johnny Mathis has great expression and control of his voice, but Broce Twain I must say has better expression and interpretation for this song. Mathis does a great performance in this rendition of, Yesterday When I Was Young by Charles Asnavour

    Burr oak crack in trunk

    Magnificent tree. I'd perform a thorough soil analysis, before cutting any live tissue. Tree could be affected by nutrient deficiency, or harmful PH level. If the field was imbalancedly fertilized, the soil could be "burnt".

    Boot Insoles

    10Second "Pressure Relief" (Non-metatarsal support!) insoles are the most supportive comfortable insoles I've tried. They have decent arch support. One great design of them, is that base of the insole, heel to end arch, has a "boxy base", filling out the "squareish" profile of common footwear...

    Why One Man Runs a Tree Service That Won’t Cut Down Dead Trees

    Yes, AJ, great article. Agreed, a tree that is in "terminal decline" that has dead and torn hanging limbs should be just pruned, to aid the tree in living out the rest of its days. In this line of thought, it also, seems prudent to leave chips, from the location of trimming or removal, for...

    A great performance not actually by Andy Williams, but Broce Twain. I think he has better tone and expression than Andy.

    Beal 11mm Access

    @Njdelaney I should've state that more properly, though I wasn't too angered. More that I was trying to articulate what I saw as indirect, cliche engagement. No, don't unwatch this, just because we see things differently. Being pissed of is not something that leads to any benefit, for anyone. I...
