    Top 3 Broken rules?

    My top 3 are cutting without chaps on the ground (just routine stuff I mean), one handing and taking off my eyepro when it's humid out. I need to just bite the bullet and buy a nice helmet with a visor.

    Top 3 Broken rules?

    My company does safety incentive bonuses each quarter for zero safety violations or incidents. But, that's generally for broken/damaged property and/or no accidents. One handing, chocked wheels, no chaps is only enforced by the foreman (if it is) or if the big boss comes out.

    Question about first aid kits: what's in them and how often do you guys practice having to perform first aid on yourself?

    Friction Hitch Questions

    Would love a video showing how you tie, dress and set this. I can't quite figure it out from the pic. First time I've ever seen the e2e tethered right to the bridge. Cool idea!

    How dead is TOO dead?

    So those rings will break in the even the trunk does? Preventing it from pulling you down with your attached lanyard? (Assuming of course you are tied in to something other than the dead tree as well)

    How dead is TOO dead?

    So I was asked by my company to remove a dead tree last week. If I had to guess the tree had to have been dead a year at least if not more. From the ground I could see visible signs of rot and deterioration at the top of the tree, probably 15-20ft from the top. Tree was about 50-55ft in total...

    Sherrill says the VT is unsafe to climb on?

    Tried this today for the first time and I love it. Great response, requires very little to release. A little slow on the catch but if you tend your knot closely like I do it's not a problem. Normally climb on a standard VT but will keep throwing this in. Thanks!

    Poison Ivy Vaccine?

    That sucks!! That dust can be really bad. Smokejumpers out west get poison ivy inhalation at times from the continuous burning they do. I can't imagine!

    Poison Ivy Vaccine?

    No kidding! If only the salesman at my company thought like that. At least it would be for a "good" reason.

    Poison Ivy Vaccine?

    I'm very allergic to it so I get it all the time. Have since I was a kid. I can tell when I get it bad enough to get medicine (prednisone/penicillin) or if it's light to just ride it out. All the home remedies I've tried and haven't worked. You think I would've built up an immunity by now but...
