I honestly think it's ingenious, but I would wet my pants on a descent! I don't normally use sarcasm when I'm on the forum, it's our lives on the line everyday! If it's not a humorous thread. Then I'm sincerely serious! Be Safe with your new setup! Shout out and let me know how it works for you...
This is completely Wicked! I've never seen anything like it. Where would you get the idea of marrying these components? I'm absolutely blown away, by the ingenuity needed to create a device so COOL! [emoji41]I just love your idea.
Sheez, my p/u truck tires cost me more than that! But, I drive through the woods and over some really sketchy trails. I run 265/70R17's with several layers of Kevlar. They are more than you could ever imagine! Almost $1,000/ea, with mounting and balancing. I know it's crazy, but I don't ever...
J D, Don't ever show this picture EVER, again! I'm not going to be the same for the rest of the week! I just had my jawbone pinned and this movie was all I thought about for several weeks! Pure to the soul Pain!
Same thing goes for you Levi.
Thanks, Dave6390
A few of us have been looking at the "Sentinel", and have come to the conclusion that it is a beefed up "Edge" Saddle that SherillTree has had for quite some time, now. Are we wrong, in this matter? It's sort of a hodgepodge of several of their saddles all rolled into one! Has anyone purchased...
Have you checked the bollard on the bird for excessive wear? You can also rotate the same bollard 90*s and adjust it closer to the tip of the bird for a smaller opening. The other issue could be the spine may be worn down to the point that there's no pinching of the rope at the base of your RR...
Levi, my friend, you are dreaming if you can get one for a "C" note. The company estimates that a dozen of these rings will cost me between $1400-$1600+ freight from France. I took it upon myself to cover shipping to the members in the lower 48 states (out of my own pocket), but so far I believe...
Start saving your nickels and dimes, & a few $5's & $10's, the company that I've contacted, is going to have a dozen of the rings in a few months. I'm guessing when I estimate the cost to me could be around $210-$225/ each after freight from France. So far 10 of them have been spoken for, with...
Oh Sure, so you can buy all of it and leave everyone else in a lurch! No fair, do over! Don't tell him Nick, then Steve won't get to order any of it! Just don't be greedy Tim!
I just checked TreeStuff.com and Blue Cougar is available for $1.19/ft. That's kind of weird that you couldn't find it. I just typed in Blue Cougar Climbing rope and it popped right up. Huh!
LOL, that's a tough call! There's a ton of training and certification courses that have to be met! Then there's creating a website, along with some other things that I'm surely unaware of. That's one thing that I do take pride in, every rope that I climb on and rig with were all spliced by me...
Oh Brother, you are thinking exactly what I am! I'm not going to get our deal cut out of the picture before someone gets the idea to raise the price and make things harder on us! Our group comes first , then we can discuss commercializing the rings! We started the ball rolling, so we come first...
I've gone cross eyed looking at all the man candy in their catalogue! They have some great gear. But, no Stateside Stores, unless we get one of our favorite Arb Stores to open communications with them. But, that'll raise the price for us! I personally don't know about that.
I've got another email from FTC-Tree and they replied that Black was the only color and I asked if their company logo with "TreeBuzzers 2017" could be printed on them. Does anyone have any issues with that? It may expedite our order, if we keep it simple.
Okay everyone, the ball has been put into motion. The FTC-Tree co. Doesn't normally do end user business, but since they don't have anyone in the States for sales, they are going to make an exception for this Ring. I requested 12 of them but they won't be ready for a few months. Yes, you read...
I've got one of these that I made with the Beast X Ring 12' long. These are easy to splice, you have to count out every loop precisely and do a triple Brummell splice, so you can apply tension from either end.
