    WTH? SHERRILLtree Poison Ivy made by Samson now?

    I haven't, but if you do the math on 1.3% @ 540lbs that TreeStuff specifies for the Ivy they sent out the email on the other day, and the 1.6% @ 650lbs that Samson has on the HyperClimb, those are the *exact* same elongation numbers.

    Makita XCU08/09 (14"/16") vs. ...?

    mac, let us know what 1/4" bar/chain you end up going with. Arbsession has the sprockets, of course (those are relatively easy to find, it seems). You looking at 14", 16", or whichever one you can find?

    Swingdude's Chester at Wesspur

    Just received one of his most recent run (loop, not grommet) a few weeks ago - it replaces an over-the-shoulder webbing strap that I've been using for a year and a half or so, and it is 1000000% superior. The over-the-shoulder tender this replaces was made with Walmart webbing and buckles and...

    SOLD

    I was mainly talking about the Valiant - the MCRS felt more treeMO-ish than the Valiant, in my combined 7min in both (haha!).

    SOLD

    I tried one on last weekend and basically just hung in it for 5 minutes (this build was actually inspired by yours). It is different from the treeMO, that's for sure.

    Glad you sold them so quickly, but now I have non-buyer's remorse! xD

    Up for grabs!!!

    I don't know how this scammy stuff works - will PayPal likely pay folks in @chipper1's situation back?

    Up for grabs!!!

    I was mainly asking because to lose $500 is tough to swallow - if we had some sort of critical mass to make @chipper1 whole, I'd throw in a $20 or so. That really sucks.

    Makita XCU08/09 (14"/16") vs. ...?

    What bar/chain was on your 150? I'm still looking into this conversion, potentially. Would like to maintain at least the 14", maybe step up to 16".

    Captain Hook Setup Questions

    I usually opt to double on the way back because what I can just about guarantee will happen is that on trying to retrieve the hook, it'll get itself stuck in a place that, while impossible to unwedge it, also would give me the willies having to cross back over using xD

    Captain Hook Setup Questions

    I gotcha. Yeah I usually end up that way as well, immediately upon reaching destination tree - hook line is straight vertical and climb line bears almost no weight. I guess I've never had trouble breaking the hitch loose in that scenario to take up slack, and if I need to let out slack (to come...

    Dog snap, CMI micro, 9mm RIT, Michoacan. Never had a problem with it locking up at all (but I'm also never letting out slack with my full weight on it either). Maybe I just got lucky.

    Captain Hook Setup Questions

    Understand that, but when is it seeing your full weight? When I'm returning from hooking, I'm either using the tail of my climb line DdRT, or using the hook's like DdRT, or - by the time I'm having to let out slack on the hook line, my weight is distributed between it and the climb line, so the...

    Captain Hook Setup Questions

    I'm just running mine with a snap, tending pulley, hitch cord, and biner...what is the use case that necessitates an SRT device on there? I'm always splitting my load between the main climb line and the hook line (so I don't need extra friction). Just wondering.
