    Burning out

    i‘m sorry for you. i can relate to your situation as i‘ve been in a similar one not related to treework. what i learned from it, is that it‘s not worth to chance your mental health for work. life is much more than work, in my opinion . i don‘t want to step on your toes but ever since you wrote...

    Chipper winch line protection

    maybe a shorter length of rope instead of a chain. those will get frayed but will save your long winch line.

    Euro tracked chippers.

    2 people hand feeding an 8“ inch jensen won‘t be able to keep up. but feeding it with a machine will probably not put a smile on your face.

    Euro tracked chippers.

    those eliet and other tiny chippers are specialized chippers and definitely have their place but are a different animal than a 8“ tracked unit. i have an old 8“ jensen on a turntable trailer and if had the right jobs i would add a tiny chipper but never replace.

    New RopeRunner?!?

    i think people will redirect the rope through a biner before routing into the moving pulley to solve that problem.

    Another aerial friction rigging device?

    treebing has one on youtube i think. other than that, i don‘t know. sometimes with light pieces it can be difficult to let the work down and the locking sheave version probably doesn’t help. and it needs the room to engage, seems like that is a benefit of the downrigger. other than that the...

    Who's making the "Hold Fast"?

    also regular harken winches have internal plastic parts (i learned that the unpleasent way) greg good orders his all aluminium/metal excluding the bearing.

    Who's making the "Hold Fast"?

    it‘s tiny, a harken 40 or similar is already small and they use a 20. in my eyes this is 5:1/portawrap territory. often times the 46 of the grcs is underpowered and a doublewhip is necessary …

    Today....

    you could take wraps in the tree or in the carabiner (when you are concerned with bark damage)

    Port a wrap spliced onto a loopie

    also you loose versatility or atleast it would‘nt be as clean when using it shackled to a truck or whatever

    Blue 32!

    i‘m pretty sure that a splice only needs to have 15kn mbs in europe for certification. need to check… i prefer full strength splices for sure

    Ultra sling vs deadeye: double the strength?
