    Throw bag launchers and DIY…

    Thank you. After building this it’s very easy to see why it’s a great idea. I picked up some parts to make a smaller one and at some point I’ll probably experiment with sighting systems. If I can come up with something good for sighting, I’ll definitely share it. I did stuff the big one in my...

    Throw bag launchers and DIY…

    Ball, bought everything I needed except the air valve from Home Depot/Lowes (had to hit both because not everything was in stock). It turns out really long, but I’m not sure it’s really a big problem unless you’re trying to pack it into the woods somewhere. My goal was to use lower pressure and...

    Throw bag launchers and DIY…

    So I started experimenting. Curious as to how many other use them, like/hate them and who has built their own and how well it worked. I looked at a few, watched a bunch of YouTube on it, and decided that I could probably improve on it. What I ended up with was a PVC monster nearly 8’ long (it...

    Rope questions…

    Yup, let go and die. I learned to be comfortable with it long ago. I also discovered you need a clear head to use it and just free falling and try to slow up right at the bottom is dangerous. But used correctly with heavy leather gloves and it’s a nice smooth decent. Certainly if I am up in a...

    Rope questions…

    Thank you for the welcome. Honestly I’ve been a little skeptical of the 32 strand line, was worried a little about durability (which appears to be an unfounded worry), but the real worry was that the DrenaLine and other 32 strands are being listed as static ropes and what I’ve researched so far...

    Gear bags/boxes

    I thought about using a Milwaukee Packout, really love the system and use it for other things, but not being a pro I’m probably just going to throw my gear in a couple tote boxes. The wheels handle off pavement well, the whole thing holds up well really. I have a set of Packouts for when I go...

    Rope questions…

    I’ll have to give that a look. I’ve been trying to do as much research as I can, but it’s been a slow process. Last year I was in two auto accidents 5 days apart and suffered a concussion from each, among other injuries. Physically, I’m in reasonably good shape now, but the mental part of things...

    Rope questions…

    Blue moon has come up a lot in my quest for a rope. Unfortunately it’s also on table A and I’m being a little fussy about preferring to leave myself a larger safety margin. Tachyon was one I was looking at. Unfortunately there’s no Arborist stores anywhere close to me that I’ve been able to find...

    Rope questions…

    Thank you. I think that’s part of my confusion with picking a rope, I’m finding that a number of ropes are sold under different names but the same rope, which makes trying to decide if a particular rope is or isn’t approved for the Akimbo difficult for someone new to this. My original thought...

    Rope questions…

    So I’ve tried to do my research but I’m almost more confused than when I started so I’m here now to ask in hopes of better answers than I’ve been able to come up with so far. I have nearly all of my intended gear and down to needing rope. I’m not a professional tree guy but I appreciate good...
