    Treehumper down and getting back up.

    I would have to review the video and follow up video to be sure , but it wasn't in the crotch, I know that. It was out 4 or 5 feet, I can't remember for sure right now, but it's on the vid. But it was white oak. White oak. a living white oak. Also, the raptor got caught in some brush on the...

    Treehumper down and getting back up.

    Rob! man, I'm happy to read these last few pages and read that you are doing so much better and got back up in the trees. Awesome, man! BTW, last summer, I had a 5" while oak limb break out on my accent, SRT with raptor, I might have been 25 feet high, (I forget, but it's on cell ph vidoe) I...

    Ring difference

    I have never seen this "sharpish edge" thing. This was discussed once before with a "rock climber" that had strong opinions without ever using the X-Rigging Rings. I've been using the rings hard at work since 2011. I've also destroyed plenty of them and other brands of rings on a continuous...

    THT vs. Safebloc vs. Thundersling

    I'm sorry I've been away from the Buzz for about a year now. I'm doing a word search to find any threads that I should/could add any valuable information on. I read this one. Yes, it was due to my xtreme attention to detail (or pickiness, it be called) that delayed the SafeBloc being...

    Steel core lanyard failure.

    Good job August. Now it can "breath" and be visually inspected. No flaky stuff, no residue. THAT looks good and new. Yes, likely Climb Right; since it is aluminum nicopress type of sleeve. Holds 5,000 lbs + when new. Yes, I suspect the black shrink tubing is to make it LOOK better, but in...

    Double Block Rigging

    "but it allows you to spread those forces out over the stem of the tree. When set up correctly" flyingquirrel, thanks for this. Good point. Great to have you in this thread. What about rope speed though? The speed of the rope through the groundperson's hands seemed to need to be about 3...

    Welcome Rock Exotica

    Yes, not rushing to release a product is very smart. Especially if they got some feedback that they are considering might be important. I know I sent them my thoughts and they were well appreciated....... it seems.

    Double Block Rigging

    I think it's when you only have one REALLY LONG rope and two blocks and a LOT of weight. It allows a single rope to be able to take the big weight by dividing the load into the multiple legs of the rope. I don't like the drastic switch up of the handling for the groundperson to deal with...

    Double Block Rigging

    I briefly read the article. I should not comment on it till I read it word for word, but instead, I asked my friend that read it. I asked, "did it say anything about the dangers of how slow it is for a piece to run?" he said no, what do you mean? I've done this several times in the past...

    GRCS Broke!!!

    I'll be open as always, I can' t help but think that something was done wrong. I've been using one for many years and it gets used a LOT. We pull stuff so hard that all the wraps end up slipping and slipping in the groove and nothing breaks. What diameter rope? With any tool, I guess there...

    Wow. thank you. Also these few words are important, "no one is supreme overlord." When I came to treebuzz in 2004, I came as an innocent person, wanting to share what I have been doing and experienced. I was torn apart. My fight kicked in and I learned to tear people apart and keep them in...

    Jmaher, thanks for being open and I'm so glad that moderators didn't remove this. I have learned there is definitely a group of people that feel the same as you, but don't tell me directly, so it's taken years to learn about it. I respect you immensely for being open like this. I'm glad my...
