    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    In SRS you and the device move on the rope, whereas in MRS you and the device move with the rope. SRS is much much more agreeable to multiple redirects, and not building of extra friction on the rope without extra gear (think twin shiv pulleys and slings, vs natural crotches) SRS is easier to...

    Bucket Bail Out Line

    I swear I've seen them before, but my goole fu is failing me today. I sweat it was a little mini throwline mug storage bag, but wieghted on the bottom so it can fall through a trees canopy. I'm looking for something that will store ~100 feet of throwling/2-4mm corgage with the intent that if the...

    Barberchair/ Spar-split protection

    I notched a super decayed sugar maple and had the front half (the notch side) of the tree fall off. kind of a reverse barber chair. Kind of expected something funky, but never expected it to fail that way.

    Anyone using the Camp Access harnesses?

    Not 100% on the differences between the tree access ANSI and the tree access Evo. But that ventral loop is for srt ascent and did help with staying upright on accent. It also doubles as the attachment for the rates suspenders. At least one the Evo if you look closely at the loop, there's...

    TRT

    There was a bunch of discussion around that time about that technique. I want to say it was someone with the tag of Johnnypro that was spear heading the idea. Unfortunately a huge amount of the content was deleted for reasons unknown. Both here and on YouTube

    Employment application test

    I like that idea of untying the bowline. Simple and effective to gauge proficiency without insulting someone that doesn't know better. A lot of ability to read into from the hiring perspective, yet most on the other side of the table would have no idea what you're really looking at. I love it...

    Hey tinkerers and inventors!

    why not qo electric? battery pack at one end, little motor drive snips at the other end... might be a bit on the heavy side, but i'd trade weight for ease of use

    Question about an ART 2 Positioner...

    the carabiner allows you to easily disconnect from either end of your lanyard without cutting the rope (remote possibility in a rescue scenario that you can't reach the non positioner end attachment point). They even make mini webbing slings as a cutaway on wirecore fliplines for just that...

    Rope bridge vs. Ventral attachment pt. for SRT

    It tends pretty well on its own (again I have suspenders so there's little noticable slop in the attachment point). The harness I have also has a tending point that I use, just because it does tend slightly better depending on the device and it removes all the sit back from the system

    Treebay sellers rep thread concept

    Generally I just look at how long thrive been around and avoid anyone that's a really new member, I take a quick gander at post history and that's all I need That and I never buy anything that will crush me financially if it doesn't actually arrive

    service lines

    Theres a few municiple utilities around here and one large utility and they each have different rules. one maintains everything attached to the poles and has 2 foot clearance specs for guy lines, house drops, pole to pole secondaries, and 10 feet for primaries; another does strain and abrasion...

    Rigging research results

    It's interesting the numbers show the safeblock not changing the forces much vs rings. I'm curious what size rigging line you were using, as in my by the seat of my pants testing, the safeblock doesn't seem to add much additional fricition until you're using 5/8+ rope. The triple thimble on the...

    Looking for tricks to use pulling rigging lines through tight unions.

    I've always wanted to try something like a wire pulling sock for pulling wire through conduit... I've seen this one talked about before with decent success. I've had decent enough luck using a 1/4 intermediate sized rope that also saves your fingers when pulling, that I've never bothered...

    Rope bridge vs. Ventral attachment pt. for SRT

    Ventral attachment is great for SRS ascent (or really anything that you're using foot ascenders), as it keeps you more vertically oriented (attachment is above your center of gravity). MRS and hip thrusting is generally more comfortable with a rope bridge since your attachment point is closer to...

    Excavator broom

    I wonder how that would perform if you added a second attachment plate on one end of the brrom rotated 90 degrees so you could use it to sweep with the left/right rotation of the machine.

    What's your upper weight limit for speedlining stuff?

    I normally draw the line around 300lbs, much bigger than that and the forces on the anchors can get ridiculous quickly. That and anything that heavy is usually not going to have much brush on it to slow it down and momentum can turn the speedline into a battering ram when it gets to the end of...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    If you want quick and easy with know, something like this with a ring is possible... But a regular knot is probably more practical

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    That looks super cool! not enitrely sure it would be the strongest of splices, but for ropes with really tight outer jackets, to pull the bury through without a tool might make it easier? kind of like using a basket fid, but being able to leave it in place... Got some dog leashes to make for a...

    Top Handled Saw Ergonomics

    yes, the t540 is hot garbage. Though I should probably clarify that I haven't used one since the initial release. But the 540 flooded excessively when sitting in the sun, wasn't as durable (i saw 2 ripped in half while swinging through branch unions) and had less umph... IMHO both saws have...
