    RADS setup

    Here's a series of photos of my system. The other RADS systems I've seen posted on the internet seemed to not be very clear and had lots of bulky hardware. Hope these can clarify the setup and operation. I'm comfortable with this setup, right hand on the ascender, right leg in foot loop. Should...

    JerseyGirl, Looks like your gallery is unfolding quite nicely. Sent the link to my boss to show him what he missed.

    ISC swivel captive eye

    I set the ISC swivel slack tender up on both my saddles. One with KM III and the other with Blaze or Superfly. It took me about half and hour to tie and tune the right length for the distal cord on the first one and only 30 minutes on the second! The KM III performs better. I can't imagine at...

    Edelrid Eddy and rope choice

    Good point, Tom, always keeping a brake hand below. I get a greater sense of my speed with that lower hand on the rope, although control of braking is done via the lever. Kev, good to see you were inspecting your gear to that extent. It can get so easy to bypass that step since it attaches so...

    Edelrid Eddy and rope choice

    I've been using the Eddy system since 11/07. First with KM III and then with Tachyon. Occasionally I'll use my shorter length of Fly. I'm interested in trying some All Gear Prolite or Securelite, too. You'll find a different 'sweet spot' position on the lever for each rope type due to the rope...

    Re: KMS Kristian, Since I met you I've taken little echoes of your energy and kind words of encouragement into the day. Hope we all can ease your time healing.

    Whos going to the ISA conference in St. Louis??

    Re: Whos going to the ISA conference in St. Louis? The road-bound Dunlap clan is almost home. Just pulled off the road for a bite to eat, poach a little WiFi and letting the thunderstorms roll over. Had a great time. Glad to see y'all. People were great. Somewhat of a hit and miss with food in...

    Employment Opportunity

    There are approprate ways to address the "...salary requirements" questions. Get a copy of _What_Color_is_Your_Parachute?_ or other job-search guides. Its a delicate dance sometimes to get an employer to pay properly as much as it is to get an employee to fulfill the position.

    ISA Conference, where to eat?

    I asked around at work today. One of the guys said downtown is were they all are and they all are good. YMMV What's the St. Louis-style BBQ about? I mean like Ribs? Brisket? Pollo? Sweet or savory?

    An odd question.

    Its interesting to see Tom's comment and reflecting on how I deal with it. I actually deal with it quite in the opposite manner-- things get worse if I site on a horizon. Have a lot of watering to do today so I am reading 'Wild Trees'. One of the arborists in the book talks about going within...

    Whos going to the ISA conference in St. Louis??

    Re: Whos going to the ISA conference in St. Louis? Minnesotan native, can't pass up a conversation about weather. According to WUnderground.com, I'll be driving 650 miles North to get the same weather but taller trees and greater density of tree people. Remember Minneapolis? Like that, only...

    SRT how do you set your's up?

    Re: SRT how do you set your\'s up? I've been using a RADS system since I started acending on the Eddy. I remove the system described below and climb/descend on the Eddy. Before that, it was footlocking up, distal with a micro pulley pushed by an ascender with something similar to Hattier's...

    An odd question.

    I'll second having sea-legs several hours after tree surfing in higher winds. Kinda different compared to the usual feeling of being just dog tired at the end of a day. The sensation is from your inner ear. Don't fight it. Comes with thousands of years of moving around only on the ground.

    Thanks for posting. By the time I get the bag hung up my creative gears get clogged up. One more for the toolbox!

    New OSHA Directive

    Well, pretty good thread to last over 12 hours without degenerating into how helpless and poor we are as peons to Big Brother. I can pass gas with the rest of y'all. Although it might temporarily give me some gratification, it doesn't do much more than that, except maybe annoy those nearby...
