    New pads for spurs?

    The above post is spot on in my opinion but I realize that would be replacing the pads as opposed to replacing straps. I would warn that there is an outside chance that discomfort comes from the ergonomics of the climbers themselves. Anyone around you have Opsal pads you could borrow off...

    Overuse Injuries

    And...in the scheme of alkaline eating it's not what something registers on the alkalin/acid scale sitting on a counter. It's what it registers once eaten and processed in the body. I believe they turn the food to an ash to get a similar comparison. Thus lemon ash is alkaline. (I believe.)

    Overuse Injuries

    The practice of Somatics could be boiled down to a muscular reset. Think of what you might feel like in your body if your muscles were reset to the feel of 20 year old you. I do a 15 minute Somatic routine every morning that allows me to work as hard as I want for 10 to 14 hour days and be...

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    Good of you to point that out. I've always been interested in how different inventors could come up with similar ideas or solutions to a problem at the same time. Around 100 years ago there was a line of thinking that once you got focused on a certain thing and were working on it "putting it...

    GRCS

    Both are useful and the ideal in my mind. I've caught logs with the Hobbs I would never drop into the GRCS. But for versatility I would think this would be first choice for most outfits.

    Small Jobs

    And that is frequently the way it is. I try to hold to a $400 minimum on small jobs and make it clear that it will have to work in with some other days job. And I notice that people rarely do not have other work that should be done and could be done at the same time. Upsell? For people that...
