    Best chainsaw pants for climbing?

    I need a new pair of chainsaw pants, I currently have a relatively cheap pair of Stihl pants, they're alright on the ground, but very hot, pockets are not great, and mobility could be better. I know most of you want to recommend the Clogger Zeros, however they are not available here, and not...

    Clogger Spider review

    I've had the Clogger Spider pants for about 1 and a half years now, time to say what I think about them. Let me start with the construction, they're made out of a 4 way stretch ripstop material for most part, with very durable and abrasion resistant reinforcements around the cuff and the shins...

    Using the Rig'n'wrench in reverse

    I'll just drop this here, I wonder what you guys think of this. Skip to about the halfway point if you don't understand german. Short description: This guy is putting the rope in the "wrong" way, this leads to more friction than the normal configuration, which is useful since you can drop light...

    Positioner swivel benefits?

    I'm thinking about getting a positioner, I always hear the swivel is pretty much a necessity, but never why. I don't really see much advantage to it, besides easier tending from all angles. Anyone care to tell me how wrong I am?

    Directional midline eye splice?

    I'm wondering if there is a way to splice an eye with tenex tec, that would perform the same function as an inline 8, meaning I can tension the main line, with an eye that I can tension in one direction parallel to the main line. This is not for life support, and will not see more than 50 kg of...

    Easy DIY Lanyard organizer

    So after seeing the Arborixx rope pins being used for lanyard organization on Instagram, I decided to make my own. The rope pins cost about 30€ for a set of three, I can make about 20 for less than 3€. I used 8mm beech dowels, and some bungee I had on hand. Easy to give and pull out slack, but...

    rope stretch when falling on MRS vs. SRS

    My boss and I were having a disagreement today about the difference when taking a fall into a climbing system, he was of the opinion that a MRS system would be better to take a fall on, because you would get more stretch because of the amount of rope in the system, while I think you would get...

    Using a captive bar biner without the bar?

    I have a DMM PerfectO w. a screw in captive bar, just wondering if anyone knows if it's allowed to use it without the bar installed? The manual doesn't say anything about it, only that you're not allowed to use their biners with a drive-in captive bar without it.

    Rust in carburetor?

    I just noticed rust in the area of the carb where the impulse line comes in. Is that something to be concerned about? It doesn't appear to be clogged because of that. I also noticed a small hole in the cover on the metering side. I'm not sure that's supposed to be there. The carb is a Walbro...

    034 tank leaking through screw hole

    I discovered that a friends Stihl 034 AV gas tank is leaking through the bottom handlebar screw on the clutch side of the saw. I noticed it when I took the handle off for cleaning. Any ideas how this could've happened? I suppose the only option is to replace the whole tank, is that correct?

    Stihl 026 Questions

    I just bought an 026, it ran fine at first, then it started getting problems and sometimes would not stay running, especially after some work. I retuned the carb (which is brand new), it worked a little while, then stated acting up again. So I decided to take the saw apart and clean it before...

    Petzl Rollclip Z issue

    So I recently got a Rollclip Z, used it once, didn't notice any problems, but today I noticed that the pulley is rubbing on the frame of the biner, at the bottom of the spine side. You can hear it grinding, and I can see some wear marks on the sheave. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Tenex Eye to Eye question

    So I tried my hand splicing an e2e from tenex tec, following the samson instructions, but now I have about 4" in the middle where there is no overlap. Two questions: What did I do wrong? Is it still safe to use? I know those abrupt changes lower the braking strength. I mainly wanted to use it...

    Poor mans lockjack

    I accidentally pressed back just before posting, and lost everything I wrote (which was a lot), so I'm going to do this in short form now. After seeing @TREEfool use an ATC with Rads, I decided to try it in MRS. Advantages: Lightweight, all mechanical, cheap, any rock climber would have one...

    Fungus and indentations on english walnut

    I have an english walnut tree (juglans regia) that I'm supposed to use to suspend a platform about 3 feet off the ground. I had noticed a lot of internal decay on a branch that I cut (1st picture,stub left to aid in hanging platform), and various indentations on the trunk and main limbs. After...

    TM light out of production?

    I just went to an arborist store in the LA area (Bishop Company, I highly recommend it, very friendly staff). I tried on a TM evo, and when I asked for the S. Light, the one guy said they're out of production! The other guy was just puzzled they didn't have any... Anyway, is it really out of...
