I thought that I'd create a post about my experience today. While climbing, the bridge of my 3 month old Cougar saddle decided to give out. Yep, it failed, with my weight in it. Fortunately for me I had a hold of the rope.
Now, I'm not going to tell some grand story about being a...
To get to the point... You should lose pionts if you don't get the victim to the ground and unsnapped within the time allowed.
My reasoning... That's the point of the comp.
Need I explain more?
Some history first.
I'm the only one at my company that has been climbing with an advanced hitch set-up. For about the past month or two, Ive been showing others the benefits of this system. While at a trade show, I bought severval different tresse cords to experiment with and pass along to...
Alright folks, I've got a saw for sale. It's in great condition, I've probably ran about 3 or 4 tanks through it. Everything seems to be ok. Reason I want to sell it, I need $ for moving. How's $200 + s/h sound? Normally goes for $300 new.
Also, while I'm at it, I got the entire collection...
For the past week or so i've been thinking about H-A firemen. I keep playing around with the idea of trying to become one. I've looked at the city's FF site and couldn't get any info about it specifically. I guess my main question is if it is something that you could start out as soon as you...

Just curious if anyone in the Columbus area is looking for a climber/foreman. I will be moving back there this March. I have a resume ready and letters of recommendation available. I'll be in that area around Xmas job hunting. If you are interested please e-mail or PM me.
Thanks, Seth
Just wondering if any of you have trouble with coworkers and cell phones? I sometimes work with a guy that's always on the phone. Company one at that. I've made "friendly" comments about it, brought it up at foreman meetings, and am about to resort to yelling! This guy is a good worker but...
I've been gone for about six days(vaca) Come back and this place is off the hook*. Got alot of reading ahead of me. Makes me never want to leave my computer.
*crazy
I was just curious if any of you had any superstitions when it came to work? I know that if something happens on the way to a job, hitting a squirrel for example, makes me think twice about my day. I've climbed to the top of a tree for removal and go to start my saw, when the pull cord breaks...
A breif history on myself... I've been in the industry for about a year now and am a quick study. Within that time, i went from working with expierenced crews to running them. Now with the season beginning, we have new guys who want to climb. Other than giving them some books to read and...
