    request feedback on rigging device design and build

    I haven't really had occasion to lift something and then immediately dump it into a dynamic situation, I am usually lifting to avoid dynamic rigging. Have you considered trying to set something up that would work in conjunction with a portawrap? Perhaps the portie mounted to it, or with a long...

    SRS Speed Climb Event?

    Maybe I've just got that east coast overdose and I'm a wussy man (woulda said "little" too, but that'd be a lie), but here, a 160' tree would be a once in a career giant, and that's not 50m...but I do go over 100' occasionally , and over 85' almost daily...65+% of my work involves ascents right...

    Omni-block 2.6 sling

    Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm lazy, my retrievable ring slings get worked like draft horses, but there are times I like a block, like double whip, GRCS, etc... I frequently use the 2.6 and green block as redirects for an xring high point. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Omni-block 2.6 sling

    That silly little thing has a working load limit of 4500 pounds. If anything, the 5/8 is too small for the 2.6....but the 5/8 is well matched as an anchor to half inch rope, which is the largest diameter the sheave will take. I feel pretty similarly to these guys about whoopies, loopies, and...

    help solving my dutchman with conventional face cut

    I don't always match cuts the way he shows, but it does work really well. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    help solving my dutchman with conventional face cut

    If you are only a little off, leave the cuts short and bust the face out with a sledgehammer, then you can even up the gap with a short saw. It's really frustrating to me, still, how easy a lot of guys make it look on video, but it does get easier with practice. One of @Reg 's videos really...

    My Silky Collection

    iirc, Ibuki can be sharpened too, but imo it's a little coarse for fine pruning. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    DWT on spar

    Since the double whip has a nominal 2 to 1, the leg used by the groundie has half of the force, so he or she can hold twice as much without basal friction. It's pretty sweet for use with inexperienced groundies, skinny spars, and sketchy situations. Double whip is also great for lifting, like...

    Advice on Ram 3500

    I'd also like to solicit advice on converting from a pickup to a chip dump if there's any to be had.

    Advice on Ram 3500

    I'm considering buying a Dodge 1 ton from a coworker, since I've been without a vehicle since the winter. I'm still going to bike to work, but I'd like to get back to doing my own work, and maybe back into contracting on the weekends. I'm a good driver, but know very little about vehicles beyond...

    What's the best rope for a tree swing?

    If you use a hollow braid, it might be nice to run something cheap like hardware store solid braid up the first five or eight feet and stitch it there to keep it round and fat for gripping. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Nutrition

    I follow what might be called a paleo or primal lifestyle, in a non-dogmatic, 80/20, relaxed kind of way. It's a little bit self-regulating, because if I get off-track, I feel like crap. I also have problems with digestion and heartburn if I don't eat well, that's what originally got me reading...

    Anyone conceal carry while working?

    See now we're talking: ". . . corporations have no consciences, no beliefs, no feelings, no thoughts, no desires. Corporations help structure and facilitate the activities of human beings, to be sure, and their 'personhood' often serves as a useful legal fiction. But they are not themselves...

    Anyone conceal carry while working?

    See, that is just restating what Boom said-the tyranny you're actually referring to is that of George the third, but the tyranny you think you're referring to is that of the government of the United States of America, a federal constitutional Republic. No one, not the Clintons, not Trump, no one...
