    Work position/fall arrest harness combos

    The camo tree access evo, is almost identical to the camp ansi, except it has a fabric loop instead of a d ring for the lower sternal connection. I've climbed in one of them with the rated suspenders for several years and am quite happy with it. I like the extra attachment at the waist for srt...

    seeking original rope runner and petzl zig zag

    Does the of zigzag have to be functional and safe to use? Totally forgot I have one in my decommissioned gear pile. Still intact, just slips on the rope

    Makita 40V single battery

    They had one at expo this year though i think it was the rear handle version. Talking with the engineers that were there, it sounds like the 40v batteries are going to have a limited tool selection available to them. It sounded mainly like lawnmowers and chainsaws to start with, so don't expect...

    seeking original rope runner and petzl zig zag

    I saw recently kevin bingham posted that a large batch of OG runners was coming soon. So unless you want a specific color combination, you could get brand new

    Better than a Sena? ASL for tree workers

    Scuba divers use an abbreviated version of it for communication as well. The only downsides I can think of in tree work is range (that some of the finer hand motions aren't terribly clear when102 of feet apart) and that you need to get someones attention to do the comunication, rather than senas...

    Echo DCS-2500T

    It's supposed to be a 2511t equivalent both in weight and power ... if that's the case I'm gonna love it

    Echo DCS-2500T

    I talked with the echo vendor at TCIA and it sounded like late Q1-Q2 of 2022. he also said he was shocked no one tried to snag the one they had on display

    Notch made in TW

    Personally I don't think notch has a manufacturing issue. If they did, they'd have stepped in and not accepted products because they weren't made to spec, and there's enough other vendors manufacturing things overseas that I'm sure they could find a decent manufacture. I've always felt that...

    Mind hive brainstorm. Safety and equipment check lists

    Not sure if it's an option in jobber, but we are looking at some fleet maintenance tracking software and they give you the option to force a picture to be taken and uploaded before it'll let you move on to the next item (some of them even have some fancy object detection software that can verify...

    83 hd report

    Not gonna lie this makes me feel a bit better about flying one regularly (yes it had the reinforcements put on). It'll be interesting to see what the other failure was caused by.

    SingleOps feedback/discussion

    I'm getting spun up on singleops atm at the company I just started with. It seems to be really nice for field work. The crews love the easy work order, Picture and map integration works really well. Crews/sales staff being able to update the work order while crews are onsite and have homeowner...

    Looking for smaller blocks to run 9/16 or 5/8 rope

    If you're set on the omni block, the 4.5 will run up to 3/4 rope... otherwise 9/16 will work in the 2.6, but 5/8 is definitely a bo go (it'll rub on the side plates at the very least)

    Flexible ground protection mats

    I came here to say stay away from them... They're brittle (broke pieces off every time they got used), and the way they're assembled they have fasteners that stick out proud of the surface of the mats (on both sides if I remember right). The roller that you can get for a bobcat, while decently...

    monster

    The Eastern Ellipito Mussel (common all over the north east freshwater areas has a portion of it's lifecycle where it's a parasite on many fish species. Makes them look like they are covered in black pepper. Also on a semi-related note... they're edible... BUT they taste absolutely horrible...

    Coming: No new gas saws in CA

    Talking with the Makita guys at tcia and they are bringing a new 40v battery system to market in the next couple months. They were talking about a single battery till behaving like a 50ish cc saw and dual batteries (80v) behaving like a 70cc saw. They were talking about it coming stock with a 20...

    Breakaway lanyards

    This. Between soft and hard links (i.e. between the lanyard and the snap at the end) so if it breaks away any heavy metal bits stay captured on your harness and just the rope good flying through the air. Also in the event it does break away, a spliced eye is way less likely to catch on...

    Anyone wearing a 'full' fall-arrest harness (ie with the top-half) on a daily-basis in a hot climate?

    I wear a camp tree access Evo with rated top. Yeah it gets warm but not too much warmer than without. I wear it exclusively climbing and a separate fall arrest harness for bucket work. Why? Because it's easier on the bucket to not have all the dangley bits from my harness when standing in the basket

    New "Openable" Ring Thing - The Odin

    Camp has similar shackles on their harnesses and they issued an inspection notice because there might have been some that escaped the factory with insufficient loctite, so i can definitely see that being a possibility. Also these rings look like an evolution of these...
