    How to be an Excellent Climber---from the Groundie

    To be a good climber to your groundie, don't just rope a giant limb and leave them to manage figuring out how to get it past the shed, wires, garden, and adjacent tree. Take it small enough to fit where it's landing and put a damn tagline on it when needed. And if you only have one guy on the...

    Can someone help me ID this?

    Based on the cone size that appears to be a European larch (Larix decidua). The Tamarack (Larix laricina) looks very similar but with much smaller cones. The problem with common names in cases like this is two people can be referring to different trees using the same common name because there...

    Stiffest rope?

    I haven't used it myself by I have heard that Sterling tri-tech is very stiff and cut/abrasion resistant. I have heard that it acts much like a flip line.

    Johnny Pro

    And now I have learned your true identity JohnnyPro. You tried to fool me with your photos, videos and news articles and it nearly worked but something in the back of my mind was telling me I'd heard this exact type of gobble-dee-gook before. And then it hit me; the real JohnnyPro is Deepak...

    0% chance I would do that, even if it was legal.

    Tree Motion Defect??

    I received a PM from a Teuf rep on this site after she came across my post. She took one look at the photos and immediately told me that it is not the way the cutouts are supposed to be and that they would like to exchange my harness for a new one right away. I just have to send it back to Teuf...

    Lanyard Combo

    I really like the ART Positioner. It is very smooth and can be released under load but mine is collecting dust right now. One big drawback is that brush can snag it and release it when you don't want it to move. I have not used it with arbor master but it runs great with Tachyon. My...

    Tree Motion Defect??

    I agree that it is probably not a big deal but that is not my issue. The issue is that if they want to charge a premium price for a premium product they should do some premium quality control. I have compared this saddle with 3 other tree motions now and none of the others exhibit the "sloppy...

    Tree Motion Defect??

    Thanks for checking yours out, that's what I thought. I will take it to where I bought it and see if they will swap it out for another and send this one to the manufacturer. If they won't, I will contact Teuf.

    Tree Motion Defect??

    Yeah looks to me like cuts more than splits. But is it normal?

    Tree Motion Defect??

    Just bought a tree motion and have only used it twice. It is by far the most comfortable saddle I have used. My issue (or potential issue) is that I noticed some small splits in the conveyor belt material that makes the back pad of the saddle. They are located around the edges of the cut outs...

    Homemade CE Lanyard question

    Thanks for the reply. It looks like the inside of the snap that will seat in the pinto becket is somewhat flat but the inside of the beckett is very round. Does the snap seat flat against the inside of the beckett or is there a gap beneath it?

    Homemade CE Lanyard question

    I am currently on the CE Lanyard and loving it except for the carabiner on the termination end. I much prefer to us a rope snap for a lanyard. I would like to make a replacement lanyard with an ISC triple action snap in place of the carabiner but I don't know if the ISC snap will interface well...

    Best rope for ddrt??

    If you are just starting out I suggest a 13mm 16 strand double braid such as Samson Arbor Master. It's very durable and is a very good all around rope that you can experiment with a variety of hitches and cordage on. Once comfortable with that you could move to an 11mm or 11.5mm 24 strand...

    ABR U Saver and Pulley Saver - ANSI Compliant?

    Aaahhh... that's right I forgot that rope needs to have the extra 400lbs tensile strength. This means that the U Saver would be ANSI compliant. I still haven't figure out about the pulley saver but Eventually I will call tree stuff and see what they say. Thanks
