    New Ascender from Reg Coates

    It's been a few years now. Incredibly long winded process overall. It's Patent pending, which cost me a small fortune in lawyers fees, not to mention all the time, material and machinery I had to buy. I put in hundreds and hundreds of hours rebuilding and tweaking the same parts over and...

    As for the hook and hinge design you mentioned. I think you just have to lubricate and keep it clean. Especially if you are doing pitchy trees. You don't want to let the pitch set and go hard over night. The production model is quite a different build from the early prototypes that I made at...

    The treble hook was a little undersized. More often than not the 2 extra hooks or claws were a hindrance More than a help. But even if you remove the 2 extra claws the shape was a little off to get a good hold of thicker branches. As you might know I worked with Stein for years on many products...

    It's supposed to close, then drop open again. This is to help find it's way through foliage and eventually to the target. As for size, it's as big as it needs to be so it's not so limited to just small branches. But when it's hung on the saddle, it's obviously very compact. Thanks for the...

    Steel core or rope scare strap?

    Great work Eric....that video led me hear. Good topic, Treebuzz still going strong I see. Mr Schatz is a wizard with spurs and flipline by all accounts. Shows SOME of his technique in the video, but fails to mention or demonstrate the night and day difference between throwing a line while stood...

    I think you have missed my point regarding sexual assaults. In that the 1:4 incident rate that you brought up previously, is not an equality issue. Its a crime, with victims, rather. No better or worse than sexual crimes committed by women. Its just that the opportunities might be more feasible...

    No worries, thanks for the info and insight. Firstly, I lived in Canada for nearly 7 years now, so I'm not totally in touch with current affairs in the UK. I should add, I felt there was plenty justification to leave at the time. My wife couldn't do my job. That's the reality of it. And If I...

    Pregnancy was just an easy and obvious example. I like the fact that we'e so different. Otherwise I might be attracted to men, which I'm not. Theres no minor overlap, grey area or denial in that department. I'm assuming most of the members here are also that way inclined. Its really nothing to...

    That'd make me naive, wouldn' it ? As you know its a very in dept and subjective piece of work. I read it as a youngster. If I read it now it could well mean something completely different. If it was meant to be summarized in a page, I'm sure the authors would be thought of that at the time. The...

    For the record Tom, I don't agree either, if what he's saying is that women are put on earth merely as man's assistant, or something along those lines. We partners on the earth more like. But Matts present feelings on the matter, which may change in time, just dont seem like something worth...

    Whether you believe in the bible or not, its a vey big book. That small article contains but a handful of cherries that fit that particular ladies feelings. Not a fair summary other than how she feels. God bless her.

    I think Bush and Blair partly used God as to justify their actions in Iraq. As for the nuclear irresponibility threat....well only one country has ever used those weapons thus far. It's the same one that retains the biggest stock pile to this day. And seems to believe it's government has the...

    You might not care for that religion Tom, but lots of others do. Accepting one person's beliefs, while condemning another's doesn't sound much like equality. There have been many an iconic, fully committed hero or villain....depending who's side your on.

    What happened to the Matt Cornell Rope Saddle?

    So why do your leaders talk about God so much. Start wars in God's name and stuff ? Why do you have a bible in the courtrooms ? Does Matt have the right to speak and live by his Christian beliefs ? Should he be outcast or punished ? Does equal rights extend to the rest of the world, or just...

    It is clearly religious on Matts part, Tom. If he's truly committed, then it outweighs social acceptance in his thinking. Some people don't do half measures

    The manly part is incidental. He's just quoting his religion. The same religion I assumed the West was built around....that of whichever presdent you voted in, swears upon when they take office. Seems crazy that others feel it's their place to punish an Amerian for speaking of his belief in...

    Thanks Steve. It doesn't really mean that much to me without reading what is being said from the other contributors. I'm assuming he went on to say much worse than this to justify getting dropped from Treestuff, have people tear up his saddle and start receiving death threats ?

    What happened to the Matt Cornell Rope Saddle?

    There's no bullshit in my words Steve. Treestuff was destroyed by the guy took everyone's investment, loyalty and commitment.....and sold it underhandidly. And yet many of its old customers begrudge and blame Sherrill for some reason. Not to go off the point. Let' see Matt's post if you have...
