    A Thinker

    Bump Thread For Norm Hall With the sudden passing of friend and mentor Norm Hall, I thought that I would bump this thread from Norm, which is one of my favorites. A lot can be learned from it.

    RIP Norm Hall

    Just heard about Norm from Nick's post on IG. So sad. He taught me so much throughout his years here on TreeBuzz. Was just chatting with him this past spring on the phone after coming back from the crane workshop in PA about his self-equalizing rig for crane picks. Never seen anyone do that...

    SAKA FLAKA (Fixed Leg Advancing Knee Ascender) Mod

    I have one and it's not too good and way too expensive. HAAS and SAKA are both way better.

    Rope Bridges?

    On my TreeFlex saddles (which are no longer made), I have always run webbing for bridges, but am thinking of switching over to a rope bridge. What recommendations do you guys have? I know Monkey Beaver runs Arbormaster 16 strand solid braid, I used to climb on that stuff about 20 years ago.

    Maine climber killed in accident

    Yup, sounds like he was still tied into the top. Did that once years ago, myself and stayed tied into the top. We were rigging it down and thank God my ground worker saw my line still in the top. He snubbed it off on the Porta-Wrap. Still dragged me down a bit and I cut off my climb line to...

    OSHA visit

    I like your thinking Steve! We should bring this up next month at The Crane Climbers Workshop.

    OSHA visit

    Hey Graeme, that's good to hear. People seem to have an unrealistic notion that OSHA is "out to get them" because they enforce laws that are out there to actually protect them. I would like to think that inspectors coming onto a jobsite for an inspection would be more likely to give out a...
