    Work shirts-Cotton vs poly blend

    cotton sucks! It gets soaked with sweat and never dries and if it gets wet and it's cool you will freeze because it doesn't insulate at all when it's wet. It takes forever to dry after you wash it so it wastes a ton of electricity. It rips so easily I can't usually get more than a day or two...

    Stein folding cube

    I would say they are not in the same class.. the faltemier cube is a top of the line product the stein cube is imo a very well made budget minded product. I have over the years purchased every folding cube I know of and I have worked my way up from the cheapest to finally spending the money on a...

    Pix of your crane tie in method

    Hey thanks for the comments, I have used cotter pins before but I am comfortable with this setup and I inspect it including making sure the nut is tight, before I tie in every time it comes back to me. I also trust my crane op. a lot he has he has communicated to me many times that he wanted me...

    Pix of your crane tie in method

    My crane op. said he heard that tying to the load line in anyway is no longer acceptable. I have always used a safety shackle on the load line above the ball he apparently was told that we need to have something that hangs on the top of the ball below the pin and not on the load line. Has anyone...

    thank you stein

    David, if you truly think it was the quality or design of the crane bag that cause the failure. I would email or call stein they will probably make good on it. If not I'm sure they'd be very happy to hear your feedback so they can improve their design in the future. I also bet that the other...

    Stein/Stihl/Oregon chainsaw trousers

    I also picked up a pair of the pfanners from stein at tci last november. it was my first pair of gladiators so I didn't have anything to compare to but I noticed right away that there were a little things about the craftsmanship that was lacking, even the islets for the suspenders and belt loops...

    SRT Alpine style

    again you only need double the rope to choke a midline alpine just tie the alpine once you're throw line pulls the end of the climbing line just over your TIP then pull the throw line through the midline knot to send up the choke you will then end up with both ends of line at the ground
