    New pads for spurs?

    I checked them out on Arbsession. They're cheaper than the velcro wraps and the replaceable pads come in at $14. Add in some upper straps and It's a done deal. I like that.

    New pads for spurs?

    Thanks for the review. They sound intriguing for my next replacements. BTW, this is the 1st reference of "Mallory" I've heard. Well, 1st since my drag racing days.... Always learning something new.

    New pads for spurs?

    Few years back I got a set of Stein gaffs from someone here. Never used, set up for SRT, with ascender and knee ascender attachment point, and fitted with big buck pads. The price was right so, I snatched them up. I setup an extra climbing kit and left them in it. About 4yrs ago I left my main...

    Overuse Injuries

    Those were my original thoughts some time ago. When I added citric acid, as explained to me in my above post, it went away. I had always thought it was excess acid too. Maybe this was a isolated incident for me, and a coincidence that the citric was added afterwards? I haven't had heartburn...

    Overuse Injuries

    I've never been into big pharma or the like. The symptom gets treated but never the cause. With that said, I rarely ever get heartburn. When the rare occasion occurs, I don't resort to anti acids ''medicine.'' Some time ago I learned heartburn was from the lack of acids in the stomach. The burn...

    No..... Each of us have our own preferences. What works wonders for one is a PITA for another. It's why there are so many different devices available, and different styles of climbing. We all have our niche and what works, as well as, what doesn't. Without all that, life would be quite boring.

    Overuse Injuries

    My body seems to be "breaking down" progressively over the past 1 and a half yrs. Mostly severe injuries from 32yrs prior collecting their toll. My body says no while my mind screams go. The pain flares up when I push myself, as a stiff slap in the face to the mind. I do realize diet and...

    How's the work flow?

    Steve, hows the building trades down there? You set trusses with that knuckle? I ask because the stick crane I frequent is quite busy. Besides the tree service he's tied to, he subs to a couple other tree guys and sets trusses.

    Matias, you could always educate the customer. In turn, they can provide the bad referrals. Knock, knock, ...."Hello, my name is Matias and I'm a professional arborist. I've been driving past your tree/s on a daily basis and I'm curious if you're looking to have the removal/s finished." ...

    Today....

    One of my favorite times of the year. I love watching the trees in bloom. Looking forwards to seeing the old growth black locusts here at home in bloom. They need to come down..... They have at least one more season to show themselves off.

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    I understand all of what you say here, and I don't disagree. As far as the milling, A vertex copy would be next to, if not impossible to duplicate with a standard mill. It would be very crude in comparison if it could be done. Maybe some tedious hand filing could finish up the pockets in the...

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    I did say, "I think,'' and I said nothing of cutting corners. By percentages, I meant the inventor only gets a commission on sales compared to what Gordon gets for the BDB. After all testing and mods are done, it's understandable. It still does seem the inventor is practically shadowed over by...

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    I think the deal here is it gets modified it so much, they make it their own practically. Leaving less percentage for the inventor. With a good vertical mill, anything could be duplicated. If one is alien to mill work, it wouldn't take much to become acquainted. As with anything. some seat...

    Need a new mechanical

    Soo many mechanicals. With the recent releases, I'm a bit burned out. Was talking to the new climber, on the crew I most frequent, about the lack of arb stores around here. Well, 45mins from me but in the metro area. It would be great to open one up. @evo 's post made me think of that. Trying...

    Yep....I forever will be. I want one of each that I don't have. Just released or proven in the fields makes no difference. Even though I've read 2 bad reviews on the brand new Throttle, and told myself I don't want it, it's so intriguing. It just looks so damn sexy. I've always thought the...

    Need a new mechanical

    I hear that and it's been on my mind. On the path of a BDB more, then MAYBE getting a blackbird at another date to play with.....depending on reviews.

    Today....

    Another crane day and 5 more trees. 2 large black locusts, 2 box elder, and a good sized silver maple with a 40'' or so base diam. The 2 box elder were single picks and the locusts were about 4 picks each. I wasn't counting...LOL. I did all 4 of them and the tag teamed the maple with the new...

    Need a new mechanical

    Going to revisit some BDB threads, and wait for some more views on the new products before deciding. I don't want to invest at the moment anyways. I'll keep making do for now. Besides I really need a new to me replacement pickup. Getting myself back into a diesel would be superb. The only decent...
