They’ve got better air flows/channels from what I’ve heard guys say and they like the pockets better and the chap material doesn’t seem to pick as easy. But only come in black which I’ll never understand, I get it from the hiding stains part but they’re supposed to be the hot weather pant lets...
Any dieback within the crown? I’d lean more toward a soil/root issue due to its location with the water valve box (looks like old wounds to right of the box where they cut previously to access)and sidewalk and maybe a compaction issue with the way the roots seem to pop up throughout that...
The newer models with the blue release tab are a bear to get to release, and the hooks continue to get smaller but we’ll see what the 2026 refresh brings maybe?
Thanks for the information, I’ve seen this saddle floating around a little more now, only real “review” i could find was from Dave at wesspur who spoke pretty highly of the initial quality.
More akin to the zigzag, the links/top lever must function and grab without additional friction, atleast as the manual states currently. Been seeing quite a few posts across platforms of slippage on different ropes the one was 3? Separate lines. Now mind you the rope runner pro had a similar...
Biggest threat with owls right now is rat poison/fert ingestions outside of struck by vehicles. Just had a senior male great Horned on my personal property that had broken its elbow joint essentially, which unfortunately is a death sentence but was cool to handle and see them up close! We have...
I’ve doubled up treemotion bungee using a fisherman’s bend to get more pull, I like it and it holds up fairly well. I’ve seen it used to go up and over the neck doubled for a comp set up (crazy tight like unable to stand up straight tight) I prefer for work/production to run it doubled to the...
Which saddle are you running? I found myself having the same issue when I was attaching to the normal point on my treemo, so I put a bungee loop(the extra treemotion cordage) about 6-8 inches down from the factory point and so it’s grabbing more from the middle of the saddle rather than the top...
for mechanical advantage with the bone can we capture the tail of rope for a typical 3:1 or does it need to be treated like the rope runner and use a “scam” style MA?
With gaffs I’d have no issue buying used, as long as there’s no obvious deformities, whether that was even eBay or marketplace or treebay here. Buckingham has a close out store on eBay they tend to fire sale alot of their basic gaffs as well. Otherwise wesspur sells their pair of bucks with pads...
We have a weekly tailgate we have to log in to and read over, it covers any incidents across the contractors as well as a topic of the week whether hydration, heat stroke, bug bites, frost laws etc and any change in policy. It’s a required weekly sign off and most guys check it when checking...
