    Recommended saw for spar work

    i really like my 462 with 28“ or 24“ full skip, square filed. also the 3/4 wrap handle was cheap, i think less than 50€. the 362/400 feels like a brick but i‘ve never run the 400. 500i is annoying to start (for me). i run my 261‘s with 16“ bar 325 full comp, they do cut well ;)

    interesting, thanks. i doublewhip frequently but only when i need it to stay within WLL of slings and rope or for positioning of the piece but than it is referred to as span-rigging, i guess. i hear you, sometimes to basal LD can be freeing..

    from my couch it looks in the wll range of single leg 1/2“ rope. did you double-whip with out a lowering device? i‘m not criticizing, just interested in the reason :)

    DMM Harness

    at the point where you would switch out the „internal“ webbing, the belting material(with all them little slots and holes) is probably worn out.

    hobbs 2000 lowering device, questions..

    on pictures the old drum looks like it takes more wraps but that might be wrong of course..

    hobbs 2000 lowering device, questions..

    hello, i searched the forum but couldn’t find the information.. somebody offered me a hobbs 2000 device with the straight drum and rollerbearing fairlead at the back of the drum for a good price. if i recall correctly, there where rope overlap problems with this design. or did they solve that...

    DMM Harness

    i‘ve heard there will be a simpler version at some point.

    I gouged myself. Not one handing.

    wow, that looks pretty bad! i wish you a speedy recovery and i‘m glad it sounds like you will have no long term problems!

    Preferred method for solo rigging

    double whipping decreases the forces on the rope-slings and on the tree, that is always a good thing :)

    Bend radius for rigging

    i‘ve snapped slings twice, both were 3/4“ tenex and undersized for the load.

    Ground retrievable canopy anchor

    there is a difference between retrievable and remotely settable. i can think of situations where a retrievable system for 3/4“ rope might come in handy. i rarely set my x-ring ringsling from the ground but often retrieve it. i spliced a ring and ring with xl ring‘s and 3/4“ rope for a terminal...

    All the small things…

    a non-clear empty washing-detergent bottle makes an excellent car-pee-bottle (for people with a penis), i‘ve used clear 1 gallon waterbottles but they start to look bad quite quickly.

    Preferred method for solo rigging

    i only self lower with a porty when there is no stub left (drifting larger wood into another lowering point) or when i want to lock the load off, possible with stubs but more convenient with a porty.

    hello sean, no problem to go this high/thin, no stability issues and felt very comfortable. i also tied into the maple cluster slightly overhead and to the side. good for you that you have the freedom of choice and good for me, too. :) greetings
