Sandy wasn't a real hurricane? I thought it to be pretty potent myself. Kept us busy all through a winter usually spent processing wood.
The way I see it is that a storm will clean out the weak, and weaken the trees/limbs that are in the right place at the right time or are affected by a...
You got that right. The amount of equipment that the participants can "test" out is staggering and some of the equipment reps will be on site to answer questions. Not to mention there will be 4 qualified CTSP instructors, an awesome venue, and tons of SRT knowledge (including the TCIA Best...
If you were as tough as the boys from State College, you wouldn't need gloves...lol
It's great to have you on the buzz. We have to convince Craig to allow us to climb some of those big trees at Mont Alto.

Hey folks,
I truly believe that this training is going to set a standard for SRT trainings. There is a ton of planning and prepping going on as we speak. The list of manufacturers wanting to participate is growing by the day.
The agenda for the two days is packed full of great info and the...

Hey Josh,
I would think so. There may be topics that you have seen before and there may be things that are brand new. For me it is always the time shared between the folks that is priceless. Maybe someone does something just a little different. I can always find an "ah-ha" moment in every...

• The sponsoring organization puts on some phenomenal events.
• The instructors are top notch.
• Tons of “new” toys to try out.
• The...
I hear you're almost guaranteed to fail 1st test. Guess I gotta just shell it out, take it a couple times, and be done with it....
I'll have to check on the location. It was put on by the Crane Institute of America I believe.
You got it. Like you said, it is even a little challenging to get a poorly cut end through. I had to melt my Tachyon in the shape of a cone to get it through.

Here is a pic of my ZZ/RW/7" stiff tether combo. The tether is made of stitched New England Tech cord and shrink tubing. So far so good, but I have only been on it a week.

Hey Tony,
I have also noticed that the Zigzag has a little more sitback sensation than say a Unicender When the Uni stops on a line it doesn't move. The ZigZag, with the linkage system, acts more like cordage.
I have only been using mine for almost a week and have not noticed any weather...
