    Crane Sling Preferences on endless loops or webbing for bigger stuff

    Makes sense. Then for trunk wood you use two deadeyes, tied to balance? And you get more adjustability for length. 15K WLL - wow! I like it

    Crane Sling Preferences on endless loops or webbing for bigger stuff

    Looking for feedback on crane sling preferences, for brand, length, WLL, endless loop vs webbing. What kind of wear differences and why you prefer those. How long is your service life? In theory endless loop should be longer, but is that true? Just asking about wood slings, for bigger picks...

    Replacing then removing old steel cables

    Yes, makes sense. How about the order of operations? First install 5:1, then install new cables, then cut old ones?

    Replacing then removing old steel cables

    I looked at a silver maple today that has two old steel cables. It had three, but one is broken and hanging. It's definitely a good candidate for cable support with four stems. The old cables are too low. Normally I would propose to install additional cables, higher and leave the old ones...

    Swivel

    I like the way DMM, Rock, ISC, etc hold themselves accountable. So I don't have to think about that stuff while I'm thinking about other stuff eh.

    Company Safety Manual

    Thanks for the replies folks. Yes, upon further review utilizing the TCIA resource is easily the most time efficient. Still plenty of room for customization. Still hours of work involved to make it good. R

    Seth Bihun's lowerable daisy chain basal anchor

    Gotta love the 3 AM inspirationals! This is simple and familiar to most tree peeps, a positive. I'd like to see you test it further by actually trying to lower the climber by releasing the prusik. Hint: watch your knuckles! This could be made with an alpine butterfly above. In the case of an...

    Figure 8 as top anchor when rescuing a climber

    At the risk of seeming dense, can you walk me through the timeline here? Is this a system the rescuer takes up into the spar? Are you assuming any particular scenario? I've got so many things to say about how we prepare for situations; any talk and preparation and thought is good in my...
