    Looking for the smallest saddle (aproved by EU standards)

    That’s interesting seeing it side by side! You’d think there’d be a correlation there between waist and thigh size but it’s all over the place.

    Weirdest Tie-Off Thread

    One of todays Helene picks. One pine failed midstem, then this other pine landed exactly on the 6’ spar. The pieces were cut on either side, I just had him lift this and put it on the ground so I could cut it in half and re sling it. A couple quick climbs on the ball but made dozens and dozens...

    Looking for the smallest saddle (aproved by EU standards)

    Courant koala is incredibly light and fits me as a 28. Stein Vega size 0 is the smallest I’ve found but I don’t care for that saddle.

    Skinny rope on base anchor leg?

    Jakers crakers that's a lot of money for such a little rope!

    Skinny rope on base anchor leg?

    Keep climbing, your arms will get stronger and the weight won't bother you any more. DSMc makes a very good recommendation if that's really, really, really, for some really weird reason, a really weird thing you care about still. Using a rope rated for climbing to climb is just a good idea...

    Weirdest Tie-Off Thread

    I love this question, and yeah, totally. I really wish pictures could do this one justice. Just one of our hurricane crane jobs, two large red oaks crashed into a Chestnut oak. So many small and medium bent and broken branches, as well as canopies, and everything just wedged together. It...

    Camp Tree Access Fall Arrest Harness is made in China?

    After watching 5 seasons of the Sopranos I’m not sure I’d trust my life to something made in Italy any more than any other country… webbing is webbing?

    How do you travel with your gear?

    Third hand up for the throw bag thing. And it was actually in the Maui airport, to circle back to the OP. I was in between my time as an arborist in NYC and hadn't decided yet to move to Asheville, and was spending a few months with my brother on Maui doing tree work. I had the throw bags in the...

    RFK is gonna have us injecting trees with Branwdo. 'It's got what plants crave!'

    Fascism, American-Style

    That's what they want you to be shouting, my friend. We have so much more in common here than they'd have us believe. As that genetically modified ape Caesar once said, or handsigned, I guess, 'Apes Together Strong'. Ok, this is funny. Is this a thing people say?

    The problem with tip tying

    I just don’t understand why folks have the confidence to make and upload videos when they are so sloppy.

    The problem with tip tying

    He hits the wires a total of 3 times I believe? Including one around 11:00 where he cranks a lead on the opposite side of the tree all the way towards the line, with a misread COG and a butt that moves quite a bit. It rests on the lines and he says ‘no big deal, we’ll just put a tag line on the...

    Do you ever free climb in the canopy, disconnected from primary life support?

    Quite a few times I can think of that I had a nice solid TIP but had to do some tip weight reduction and boldly go... upwards. Just slack out the RR a heck ton and scramble up, lanyard in when I can. But just to get another 5-10'. Yes, a hell of a lot of this. But then you're stuck in the...

    Men's HighRise Elastic Waist Pants, do not seem to exist!

    Look into things that cater to martial arts folks, based on some things I’ve seen around (because I do love clothes and I’m always shopping around), that sounds like something that might click for you.

    Throw line/ throw weight thread

    Slightly larger than the stein. And yes, durability. It’s like asking somebody why they bought a Tacoma. Weaver one is quite short lasting. Arbsession makes a nice one now too. With the exception of a rogue contract climber starting out, I only see Falteimers, and now Arbsession’s, used...

    Make your candidate worth voting for and people will vote for them. ^2016, taken from this thread. Lol Screwed then, screwed now.

    It just feels like we are blaming the voters for the shitty options. Listen, there’s nothing they want. That’s not their fault. If the machine wants votes, don’t suppress populist candidates like Sanders. Don’t let the money do the talking. Compelling people to do anything they don’t want to do...
