    I've never actually seen a cowboy ride a crane ball. And I should know, I live in The Cowboy State.

    Hopefully I don't get for this post, but WTB Rock Climbing gear

    Hopefully you're selling the harness for break testing because a 20 year old rock climbing harness is not kosher. Nylon degrades. Toss that thing out.

    Oh, you'd know. The sticker is shiny man! Shiny!

    basal anchor safety

    It's just as important to remember that accidents are almost never a single mistake, but a culmination of a day's (or even longer) mistakes.

    basal anchor safety

    I've got to disagree. While not ideal and not following the maxim of low and slow for a new setup, it was definitely climb worthy. Should she have taken the time, close to the ground to fine tune a new hitch/cord? Most definitely. But her rescuer ignored the #1 most important rule of aerial...

    X-rigging rings

    Yeah, I can definitely see that. I've installed Cobra, though it's been a while. I think my wife would kill me if I tried to pick up splicing right now. I keep planning to learn one of these winters when I've got some free time but then I hear the newly formed waterfall ice or fresh, untracked...

    Damn, I've really got to learn how to splice.

    Climbers for Christ

    You have got to be shitting me. That is one of the most ridiculous, untrue and horrifically intolerant things I've heard in a long time. I've avoided this thread because I know it's pointless arguing with the faithful. Everything you can say strengthens their personal belief because it's not...

    finally got a website up

    What I said was horseshit was the insinuation that if you wore a beard, you didn't care what your clients thought about your appearance and therefore didn't care about your clients. Nobody is trying to look intentionally offensive but you cannot please everybody. One client may want their...

    finally got a website up

    I'm sorry but that's a load of horseshit. I am not going to vet the client beforehand and alter my appearance to suit them. And for that matter, different clients will have different expectations and ideas. You can't please everyone. Don't try. Be honest, be friendly. 9 times out of 10 that will...

    While I'm not necessarily hopeful that Sheriff Badeaux has changed his ways and I don't think we should start celebrating his redemption, I don't see any reason for the ad hominem attacks. There is plenty to go after him for without speculating about the size (or lack thereof) of his manhood or...

    Hazard Tree evaluation

    They are well established clients and definitely willing to be in it for the long haul. I'm finding that most of the knowledge about maintaining and preserving mature trees like that seems to reside in individuals memory banks (gained through personal experience) and a smattering of articles. As...

    Hazard Tree evaluation

    I'm dealing with a similar tree. Large cottonwood, probably 40-45" DBH. The hollow extends from about 1.5 feet above the ground to 5 ft. The hollow is large enough for an adult to climb into. The clients would like to preserve the tree as long as possible. Failure at the hollow is unlikely to...

    Yard signs

    I'm thinking about using the cheap ones this spring. Anyone have any idea of their actual efficacy? I'm also thinking Im going to include a (very short) survey with invoices for a bit. Try to figure out where my business is really coming from.

    And saying you work to "ANSI standards" means nothing. They aren't specific to trend work. If you can't reference the specific ANSI standard you are following, do you actually know what they are?

    I am giving him the benefit of the doubt, I'm simply asking for more proof than simply removing some ridiculous and quite frankly, incriminating (in the eyes of OSHA) rhetoric from his web presence. If he came on here and started asking questions I'd be more than happy to give him the...

    Not to be the wet blanket on this redemption party but do you guys really think a little online ribbing from complete strangers has completely changed the trajectory of this guys career? We can always hope, but if guys like this were so easily swayed, our industry wouldn't have the fatality rate...
