    April Fools Pranks

    My wife took two negative effect pictures of me. Incredibly scary. Afraid to show them even, i think.

    April Fools Pranks

    It went quite well on instagram today around the world. Friends are still using the pictures to get their family members at this hour even. Fun stuff. Some get pissed. Oh well.

    That was a 15 minute photoshop. Needed more time but i had to go to work. Still worked for 60% of viewers.

    April Fools Pranks

    I LOVE April fools day. I didn't have time to prepare. Last minute thinking. Didn't have time for proper props, but it went very well. Kinda went wrong when a head nurse i know got the surgeons ready for my arrival. :-( no kidding

    what's in your rigging bags?! Show em up !

    just a note: I've been sending out XRR slings to those in the list earlier. Still got plenty more to send out. They will be coming as promised. I always gotta be dealing with major important things first. Sorry to place you second priority, but that's how it is with freebies with me. They...

    Steel core lanyard failure.

    I like the construction idea that Sean showed in that Sherrill link. I tested my old steel core lanyards in a pull up to 1750 kg. (3858 lbs), with a load cell. Neither broke. Then cut off the plastic shrink wraps and they appeared very nice under them. Next I'll grind off the ferrule to see...

    Steel core lanyard failure.

    I would imagine most clear would stay good for at least 3 years. Clear would help a person to see some of the cable. but where the rope covers the cable and the cable swage, that is the blind area you can never see. also likely contains fine dirt and dust under it and moisture. I don't see...

    Steel core lanyard failure.

    I also happened to have a Maryland Arborist Association meeting today, I brought this up. Two very large (well known) companies said they also heard about this death and the entire company threw ALL of their steel core lanyards away.

    Steel core lanyard failure.

    This is my personal steel core lanyard. Date says 2008. I thought I could use forever, as long as it looked good on the outside. Now I'll retire it. Going to pull test it to about 4,000 lbs (cause that's all my little rock exotica dynometer can handle), then I'll cut the swage ferrell off...

    Steel core lanyard failure.

    They climb some huge Eucs. I asked him tonight, he said the tree was very large so the climber used the whole lanyard, used a biner attached to that eye. ( likely to another lanyard). after the break, he made sure he asked that both eyes are made to the same and can be used. He was told yes...

    Grapple Saw on Kboom

    a friend texted me to alert me of this thread. I actually have one of "these" I bought used in 2008 for my kboom. Still in a crate, but this winter I delivered to the crane company so they can think about setting it up on my kboom. Hope to have it going this spring or summer. I'd like to...

    not your fault. I should read more closely, I never noticed the post before and was hurrying. someone text me next time there is a big coupon. They do things like that quite often on that site. I've used them for stuff myself.
