    What is on this chestnut oak?

    It is a solid black charcoal like color attacking the cambium layer and has pushed the bark off in areas that it is visible. Please help with identifying what this is..

    What is this on this chestnut oak i just removed?

    Same here where i am with the red oaks and i am familiar with hypoxylon and in my experience hypoxylon is usually a more grayish color and kindy powdery to the touch unless this is how it looks after that grayish stage and ive just never seen it this far along in its process.

    Does anyone wear their arbpro evo's in the winter?

    As a fix to this i was looking into getting rhino laces or iron laces for my arbs. Since i am in the process of ordering them as we speak i cannot comment on them but they are supposedly stronger than steel cable.

    Basal Anchor for MRS pulley climbing

    If this is just for an anchor for your basel setup because im not seeing a rescue setup anywhere then i would go with something simple like a bowline with Yosemite and an arm reach above an alpine with a caribener and pulley for rescue. Rescuer would run a (mrs) system through the pulley and...

    Gear bags and more gear bags

    Thats awsome because in my eyes anything made of soft material such as boots, bags, clothes, ect. Needs to at least last 1 year for me to feel that it was worth the money and any amount of time after that year is bragging rights for that item and builds a strong case for a re-buy of that same...

    Gear bags and more gear bags

    Totes are something ive thaught about because you could not get more organized than using seprate stackable totes but where i live and do most of the time you cant drive to the tree :/ its usually a hike away on sketchy terrain. Totes would be good for my tree shed though.

    Does anyone wear their arbpro evo's in the winter?

    Also worth adding is they are durable but the laces are not. Hard climbing and they are the weakest link. Just something to remember. Cheap fix at least.

    Does anyone wear their arbpro evo's in the winter?

    Ive about worn my evo's to death at this point and am about to purchase another pair within the week but as far as cold weather... call it a personal foot disorder but my feet FREEZE in my arb pro's and i mean painfully freeze. During the winter i wear haix chainsaw boots and they keep my feet...

    Gear bags and more gear bags

    What gear bags are you guys running as your primary gear bag and why is that the bag for you? I feel like i keep finding the perfect gear bag just to eventually have to buy a different one because it seems more perfect... at the moment i am using a notch pro and it holds almost exactly...

    Captain hook food for thaught

    Here is an option for you captain hook guys. I love DMM and overall everything they do is with perfection but the DMM bag that is used for the captain hook is not quite sized right for my liking. A better option that i have found is the petzl L tool bag because it is sized just right for the...

    DMM XSRE on hitch?

    Ive never seen or herd of anyone twisting the legs at the end of the hitch? Wouldnt that cause your climb line to twist and spin on a descent?

    DMM XSRE on hitch?

    You are right and normally i run the zigzag so no need for much hitch thaught there but when running hitch chord i still have yet to find the perfect combo for hitch chord to rope to knot. I run a few different lines; tachyon ash, blue moon, notch dragon, teufelberger fly, and hawkeye for...

    DMM XSRE on hitch?

    Agreed 100% it was just a situational thing at that time and place i tried it out on a "VT" that is 32" long where i am used to a 30" hitch for that same particular knot. The 2 extra inches on the hitch made for sloppy long legs and the xsre did cure that. I have a hard time straying away from...

    DMM XSRE on hitch?

    So i was playing around in the canopy waiting on some things from the ground and while doing so i was looking at my hitch (VT), and was looking at the legs and was thinking hmm wonder what would happen if i capture the legs together with a dmm xsre mini. So i did and it kept my hitch oriented to...
