    Details of taking out a damaged black oak

    I use that choke technique all the time. As far as I understand, it's only safe (loads biner on its make axis) when you have the lanyard around a large stem. Once you get into small stems then it starts to side load the carabiner. Sent from my E6782 using Tapatalk

    When all the accreditations and memberships mean nothing.

    I understand your frustration. Davey tree was in our town for about a year doing line clearance and I would just shake my head over and over again because of the things I was hearing. Sent from my E6782 using Tapatalk

    Enjoyed it a lot. I had never heard of that eye splice that wasn't life support before. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Treemotion vs Ergovation: convince me!

    Treestuff sent me a TM. First two jobs were not the best tests but one made the rope bridge shine and I can already tell the padding is leaps and bounds better than my old Arbormaster master classic. I love the customization and I just ordered some singing rock porters and paddle style biners to...

    They don't seem to be fast and easy to clip into. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Treemotion vs Ergovation: convince me!

    I'm not saying they aren't safe, if they weren't, no one would sell them. I just want a permanent termination. I would want to always keep my eye on the anchor bends like in a normal Ddrt system. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Honestly, I am not comfortable with the idea of trusting in those anchor bends, even though for many climbs I used anchor bends as my termination. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    I am going with the TM. It seems to have almost an equal amount of padding, yet also has the customization, lower d's, and just a total change in thought on a harness. Ordering today at treestuff, I'll let you guys know how it goes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    There are times I am in those positions to get better rigging scenarios, i.e. Spider balancing, mid ties, tip ties, swinging to another tree,etc. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Treemotion vs Ergovation: convince me!

    Actually, I really appreciate that. I drink a lot of water everyday and eat bananas a lot too but still will cramp up sometimes. The TM seems to be a more balanced harness that really moves with you, has good lumbar support, the nice lower d's, and a lot of customization. The Ergo seems to be...

    Is the TM comfortable 6-8 hours into a big removable(standing on spikes, setting blocks, negative blocking, mismatch cuts,etc.)? Does your back hurt afterwards? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
