    Echo DCS-2500T

    The choppiness does get better after you sharpen it a time it 2. Not sure why, but every stock echo chains I've ever had was that way. Never had an issue with Oregon, Stihl, Carlton, etc.

    Rigging Research Part Deux

    That makes sense and not at all what I was envisioning by "below" I do that too, but mainly to dissipate the energy from a top swing, so it can't travel just the stem if the tree and hit a house or something similar.

    Rigging Research Part Deux

    Did you mean to say (this really points to leaving a few limbs "below" you). Or did you mean above? I see the benefits of the energy dampening of the branches but I only see headache and hassle of brush getting hung up if you leave them below your rigging point

    Chainsaw-hooks that "stay in-place"? Loved Edelrid, HATE my Evo...

    Small ones are fragile as can big. Large ones are rock solid... But they move around on your belt, so I'm less of a fan.

    Chainsaw-hooks that "stay in-place"? Loved Edelrid, HATE my Evo...

    've foudnthat the transporter and vault both solved the issues of rotating and moving around on the webbing quite effectively with the (for lack of a better description) bolt on plates they come with. Been using them for years and as long as you have a carabiner/saw leash ring it is super easy...

    Echo DCS-2500T

    Looks like I have to go shopping lol. Last time I checked they were out of stock

    Echo DCS-2500T

    Any idea if it's the same kit as the 2511 for the bar chain sprocket? I have both, but never think to try swapping them when they're both in the same place. Also stock echo chains suck. Never heard a chain chatter so much. Touch it with a file and it's so much better

    Echo DCS-2500T

    Where did you find a spare battery? Echo dealers around here say they are on order, but not available yet.

    Skylotec Power Ascender

    and it shoots a grappling hook 100+ feet in the air!!!! I'm thinking it would be amazing for dragging brush out of a pond or ravine

    Wanted cheap broken Jet Step

    While I don't have a broken jetstep... yet (the webbing is starting to come apart like). If it fails, I'll try and remember you're looking. Also would definitely love to see what you come up with. Also in line with what jonny mentioned, some of the non self tailers can be upgraded too.

    CTI QUICK STEP-S...

    If it's your first time (or even if you're still relatively new to foot ascneders say under 50 climbs or so) a lot of that kicking out is just stride and technique and getting used to the ascender. If it's still returnable, definitely swap it; if not then I'd say a few more practice climbs to...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    Redirects in MRS are dynamic (ie the rope has to move between the primary anchor and the redirect) where SRS can be either static or dynamic at the redirect allowing for different load paths and load sharing between anchors (compression down the stem, vs bending, vs shared bending). Natural...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    If you're looking for terminology to define anchorage types... I'd propose these general classificiations Canopy- An anchorage either SRS or MRS that supports the climber on an isolated branch union/crotch/spar Basal- An anchorage for SRS that is attached at the ground level and uses a natural...

    Bucket Bail Out Line

    A weighted bag is less likely to get stolen off the boom when someone gets both their throwballs stuck in a tree and needs a third. If it never comes off the boom, it can never be forgotten to be reattached ;).

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    I'll take a stab at the doubled over but not moving rope too, though it's honestly not something I'm terribly familiar with. Has spefically designed for it gear that is unsuitable for use in a srs/mrs system. Petzl shunt and dual cam hand ascenders come to mind; they specifically state in the...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    Honestly I think that's more a limitation of the harness choice than a limit of SRS vs MRS. A ventral attachment on a harness (think rock climbing style with the loop at the waist) kee[s the attachment to the climbing system very fixed and the only slop introduced to the system from a sitback...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    Yes, the rope moves vs does not move is the general concept. In my head it makes more sense to look at it from a progress capture device view point where MRS the rope moves with through (the termication end) and the rope moves through device AND is attached to the device, where SRS the rope only...

    Clean-Up-As-You-Go redirect

    This reminds me a lot of someones on bight redirect using a quickie video ;)

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    In SRS you and the device move on the rope, whereas in MRS you and the device move with the rope. SRS is much much more agreeable to multiple redirects, and not building of extra friction on the rope without extra gear (think twin shiv pulleys and slings, vs natural crotches) SRS is easier to...

    Bucket Bail Out Line

    I swear I've seen them before, but my goole fu is failing me today. I sweat it was a little mini throwline mug storage bag, but wieghted on the bottom so it can fall through a trees canopy. I'm looking for something that will store ~100 feet of throwling/2-4mm corgage with the intent that if the...
