    SAKA scores in the World Cup

    My Uruguyans got knocked out right away, but at least they were in it for a sec; Chile failed to even qualify. Now I just have Argentina to root for.

    Break test on a climbing line that has been “spiked”

    I have been suuuuuper cautious and have managed not to spike a rope in a few years, but I don't get to climb as much as I would like, so the odds are greatly reduced. I don't keep my gaffs sharp either, so I appreciate the info here. I won't stress abput it so much if it happens.

    Break test on a climbing line that has been “spiked”

    I have cut mine when I did that, but I caught it while descending, and just like you the wind push it into the path of my spur. I pulled a strand way out, So I had to cut out about 4' to not have a weird tail on either remaining section

    reg coates climbing and rigging is next level

    The only part that confuses me still is where he puts his genitals when he's climbing. I assume he has devised a method for detaching them, because I don't see how he would have much room to work otherwise. Seeing that cool looking Madrone had me feeling a yearning for the real PNW.

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    I have never tried running a piece with 4.5 wraps, or even 4. I thought that more than three was effectively locking it off.

    Saw pants sales?

    the cut pro in the solidur pants is polyester, not one of the high tech fibers. mine got bunched up in a hurry, and I began to have serious doubts that they would actually stop a saw anymore. They would still pass an inspection, but I didn't trust them after 6 months, and they are now my...

    Trail Cam and Wildlife Thread

    When I first moved onto my land, We heard the cougars really loudly during mating season. I thought they must be suuuuper loud for us to hear them so clearly. Whrn I looked up how far away you can hear them, I read that as clearly as I heard them, they were probably about 200' from the tent we...

    Hypoxylon Canker? :(

    It particularly thrives on drought. The research from Texas A&M describes what I'm seeing pretty well.

    Hypoxylon Canker? :(

    100% I am sure that the four years of hard drought were a major factor, plus nearly all the soil I see around here is massively compacted. The worst of what I see are in densely planted stands of only the one species. They were basically set up to fail unfortunately.

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    I have, and only once. I was running the rope, and didn’t pull in the slack for the fraction of a second it was in free fall. I learned instantly from that, and have never lost a half wrap since. I also managed to stop the 10’ long 16” fir log before it hit, but scary.
