    Saddle setup (picture thread)

    Flyingmosstreen's lanyard, not southsoundtree's. The pink/black/orange/yellow(?) patterned rope.

    DIY Pack Wheel for heavy gear

    Wrap a short prusik on each handle and clip to your side D rings, letting it trail behind you? Or maybe just stick the handles in your side D rings if they'll fit.

    Hey, it's 2022! You must be willing to accept ferrules of all genders lest you be canceled.

    660 top end rebuild

    Three 660s that all need rebuilding? Sounds like there's more to this story.

    Where does the knot go on a tied prussik loop?

    I remembered reading a report on rappel knots that recommended an overhand over a figure 8. (I was a little surprised.) I'm not sure if that would apply to a prusik loop. Interesting configuration regardless of which bend is best...

    ARB'O Saddle

    To me, that harness appears to have many desirable design features. I did find a site that had 37 reviews for Arbo Space, 36 5-star. Their site says they have a 30 day return policy. A credit card purchase should give a little additional protection. So much stuff is made in China, you can...

    DIY Pack Wheel for heavy gear

    Maybe @Winchman will share his secrets with you. I can still do everything I did in my younger days, although it may take more grunting and groaning now. P.S. If you have to trim weight, keep the coffee, ditch the lanyard. Also, "certain friend"? I get your drift!

    Home security camera systems

    It's legal to park a camper on the street long term? My city ordinances are fairly strict.

    DIY Pack Wheel for heavy gear

    If you're rec climbing, a hundred pounds of gear seems insane. I'm not a rec tree climber, but a power ascender seems out of place in my vision of rec climbing. Have you tried putting together a lightweight package for rec climbing that you can comfortably backpack? Do you have a good backpack...

    DIY Pack Wheel for heavy gear

    Walking a unicycle down a trail just looks goofy. Watching the vid, I'm thinking you might as well be walking a bicycle. Oh wait! If it was a bicycle, you could ride it. Or if you're a badass, you could do it this way Personally, I like the tow-behind model, since it's hands free.

    DIY Pack Wheel for heavy gear

    I've used a 2-wheel wheelbarrow before and didn't like it at all. In my experience, much worse than 1 wheel when going across a slope; you have to torque the handles enough to get it on the uphill wheel lest you dump your load. On reasonably level ground, 2 wheels might be great, but it's in...

    DIY Pack Wheel for heavy gear

    @Burrapeg, how "tippy" is your device? I would think the low slung baskets enhance stability. With most weight on the platform above the wheel, does it take much effort to keep it upright? I'd think having the center of gravity low (smaller wheel) would improve stability. I moved many, many...

    DIY Pack Wheel for heavy gear

    You would lose your bet. I'm a retired safety professional and wear hearing protection religiously, along with any other appropriate PPE. The robot makes as much sense as bringng a wheelbarrow or shopping cart along for your rec climb. Can't imagine taking a shopping cart off road. And both are...

    Seems like most people want the parking spot closest to the grocery store door. I park close to a cart return, so after I load my groceries, it's right there. If I needed to put items in a side door and the gap between vehicles was so tight I couldn't safely back the cart out, I'd just park the...

    New ride at Six Flags for 2023: The Catapalmt. People will pay good money for a ride like that.

    I bet you go through the "10 items or less" lane with 12 items too. :^) Reminds me of a story a former coworker told me. He lost both legs at the knees in a workplace accident. He's at the grocery store, heading inside from a handicapped parking spot, when a woman approaches him and says in a...
