Which in "time till replace" would mean.....?
I know I always ask you questions and then never really act on it so im sorry for always asking and appreciate your time. But do you have any adjustable arms in stock at the moment?
Maybe i send you my old one to inspect yourself? Get to see how the...
Right side bone is from 2015. The other is 2017.
I've been thru 2 spines on the oldest one. Probably getting close to needing a new bollard for the adjustable
There is a strange median between dangerously pushing you comfort level working dangerous works it's and never advancing your abilities because you won't take on the "sketchy" trees.
Like Steve said, I also have lacked a mentor working dead or sketchy trees. I went through a period of being...
Listen man, maybe you find me abrasive but all I'm asking is why would the device not engage?
The only thing that makes this device and the bulldog bone slide up and down on a loaded rope is when you have ascenders on fully loaded, like upon ascension. You would have to do something pretty wild...
Sorry I didn't take footage while using the device.... definitely never had a random drop to my death or injury tho. Before using it in a tree I did all sorts of testing on the ground to find out what to expect. The scenario you mentioned was one of the first things I was checking for, to make...
I'm confused why you think the akimbo wouldn't grab if you fell into it as you've described it. If the rope is slack and it's not tuned perfect or "can't be tuned" perfectly, what ever the case, none ofnthsy stops it from actually engaging and maybe sliding down with you on it slowly if it's...
@Sfoppema you can rwach out to ArborMax tree care. He is a sub contractor/ small tree service. Works for a.good handful of people. Tell him Andre referred you
@JMerritt I saw an Akimbo prototype with a different attachment point / bottom friction po
Ugh I dont know too well how to explain it. It's. It that it was jerky as much as trying to dial in that fast descent control was getting me. But this one I saw (my buddy Josh Burr had it), that...
The major problem I have with Akimbo vs the Bone is the Akimbo's bottom attachment. It's a pinch point / friction plate. So when you sit into it, it's pressing on the line, and when unloaded it can move a bit.
My problem was when you release the device to descend, in an effort to make a smooth...
