    Where do you start training a new climber?

    Its fascinating seeing all the new climbing devices coming to market. Its got me wondering where folks that train new climbers, either "on the job" or as part of an actual organized training program (school, weekend course etc.) start the skill set and knowledge development. More specifically...

    Choking carabiner

    How much do you weigh? Just kidding. I'm hoping you were rigging lol. If I decide to use one of these it would be the green for cinched canopy ties. I'm kind of set in my running bowline ways for rigging.

    Choking carabiner

    https://www.treestuff.com/the-choker/ Surprised I haven't heard more about this. Saw it on a YouTube video and went looking. Kinda looks like the Big Dan steel crab. Anyone have one?

    Milwaukee saw recall

    I've experienced a benefit to reduced overheating when using bigger batteries. Forge line specifically.

    Milwaukee saw recall

    Just fyi...you can put the 14" bar/chain on there from the top handle saw. Pulls it and oils it just fine. It has lots of torque so maxing the bar for large cuts is not really an issue. That comes at the cost of chain speed though. If you are doing fine pruning, the slower chain speeds will...

    Marlow vesper

    If anyone is interested: I tired using Yale's dbl braid instructions with a 4-4-5 cover taper. It was pretty obvious the crossover area was going to be too thick to even remotely get a the final bury to go. The cover is pretty tight on this line and the core is substantial. I reached out to...

    Identify this rope please

    That's it. Its funny that every other rope that comes in multi color options gets its own thumbnail and page to purchase. This one you select from the same page. Mystery solved. Thank you.

    Identify this rope please

    Anyone know what rope this is? Was in some donated rope from Arbsession but its not labeled. I've checked their website and can't find it. Might have been from a limited color run.

    Would a class 1 double braid splice be fine for this line? https://arbsession.com/marlow-vesper-11-8mm.html Has anybody used this rope and have an opinion on it?

    Splicing Tachyon

    Hi @ARLO Just got a length of tachyon and was refreshing myself on the splicing vids and resources I used last time I did a tight eye in this rope...many years ago. Came across this thread. I see you still have a video up: The video looks like how I remember doing it last time. Did you...

    Canopy Anchors

    Anybody seen the "American Clacker" yet? Buddy showed his to me and I loved it so much I made my own. I think he had Arbsession make him one. Its essentially two ring'n'ring friction savers that are bound by a floating ring. The savers are oriented opposite each other and each large ring of...

    The most wrecked chipper knives I've ever seen.

    This is the result of the rope winch on the chipper getting sucked in...had a steel hook on the end of the line.

    Looking for aerial lift of Connecticut 52’ upper boom

    not intending to derail this thread but can you post a pic of the crack if visible or share how it happened if it was a known event, or what lead you to decide to look close enough at it to down the boom etc. Just curious. I've been around aerial lifts for 20 years have not been around one...
