    Nickel acetate is used for electroplating - a metal finishing process. Nickel salts have been found to be carcinogenic when ingested - please do not eat your Akimbo.

    SALE Arboreta Scaffel Lite boots size 14US

    Those are sure some nice boots. I just got a pair myself and they feel great much better than the haix or other saw pro I've tried. Sucks you got the wrong size, ask the retailer to eat the shipping?

    What percentage is fair for a sub-contractor?

    Ok good info. I'm about to take on my first percentage job besides 10% sales or 5% finders fee. To the original question, Lets say climber + groundie just get the tree on the ground processed for cleanup, what's a fair percentage? 30%, 50%. Boss does no work but still pays for cleanup and...

    This video of mine went VIRAL 6 million views and counting

    Did I get the wrong video? Cause that was embarrassing. @ 11:10 he counts fingers to make sure they're all there lol. Why even bother bringing a rope if you're not going to use it? Oh well it's a crazy world, you can only control yourself not save everybody else - best of luck there Kenny.

    Job Finder subforum should require location in title.

    Ha thanks Tom, but seriously - it speaks to the integrity and thoroughness of the job poster. If they want someone to come work there but they don't say where THERE is then they may not be the best potential employer. Really they're posting an ad on the WORLD WIDE WEB, not the LOCALS ONLY...

    C'mon it's fun trying to guess where someone's from by the accent in their typing - eh?

    Knotless “Splice”

    "Knots shall not be used for load bearing end terminations" - ANSI Z-359.1 Section 3.2.7.2.2 - from the Hold Me lifeline anchor page - tnx Jeffgu So I quickly joined the ASSP so I could download my free copy of this standard, Looks like it's been updated in 2016 and wow is it almost useless...

    Knotless “Splice”

    Knotless?? The rope is tied to the anchor plate - with a weird sort of a ...knot, then a biner is clipped to the plate? Adding a link or new component doesn't reduce risk. Why not just tie the rope to the carabiner with an approved knot?

    Update

    To be clear, I don't know anyone at AERI so I cannot "vouch" for them. I just know there will be many years of this work in CA and they are one of the subcontractors on the project. I would definitely speak to someone in person and get their info - name , address, website, etc. before giving...

    Update

    Slow down fellas with your conspiracy theories. From one who knows a thing or two about a thing or two - I can tell you AERI is a real company. They are in process of hiring hundreds of tree people for a big project in CA, maybe elsewhere too. The work is real, not a phony ad. @CreativeTrees is...

    Wesspur said maybe late January (2019), so don't expect the thing to be at your doorstep on New Years Day - although that would be a huge publicity win for RE.

    Ascension Only?

    This was my system exactly when I started using single rope for access. Before we had all these beautiful multiscenders. Yes you needed to transition to a descender or doubled rope system to work or rappel, this was probably the impetus for all the innovative basal anchor systems that were...

    WTF

    You are officially "Logger-man" now, cool super hero name bro. Are you getting royalties from sales of your hoodies? Get a free hoodie at least?

    Favorite termination knot

    Why yes it is, very astute observation. I've since worn that one out and replaced it with a DMM
