    What’s your favourite lanyard set up

    Is that stuff really as stiff as people say? Anyone used Tritech in a Zillon? How's that fare?

    Notch Radius Ring

    I, too, have a second bridge that is almost exclusively for my Captain Hook. I DO use it for positioning on occasion, because I prefer that layer of separation over having everything ultimately connected to a single bridge. I subscribe to the concept that a"two diverse connections when...

    Notch Radius Ring

    The size of both the Cali and the Hydra/Rook absolutely blow my mind. To point...is anyone actually using all THREE of the Hydra's attachment points? I could see two ends of a DdRT setup, or an SRT connection and maybe a lanyard on occasion...but that still sounds like just using two holes...

    SOLD 2002 Bandit 90XP 10” Chipper (Diesel)

    If I had the funds, I'd have already bought it. Would have been a game-changer for my little operation. Unfortunately, money is growing in the wrong direction. Best of luck!

    How high can you throw ball?

    Any preference differences between single-hand throwers and double-hand granny-throwers? Seems like most everyone I see at comps and in video online is throwing two-handed, but I have zero release control with two hands. On the flip side, I can hit a 90' tip on a good day one-handed with...

    What’s your favourite lanyard set up

    I used to climb with a DEDA lanyard I worked up. Used it for a few years, and I always felt like it was there for me when I needed it, and bailed me out of a lot of tricky spots. Then one day it occurred to me that the use of a DEDA lanyard and/or having more than two tie-ins seems to be more...

    Rope bridge recommendations

    It aaaaalmost sounds like they're describing a third layer between the sheath and core at one point, but they don't go into detail and I've never inspected a late-gen bridge closely after reading about this.

    Rope bridge recommendations

    That MAY be all that they do...but their vague details about the differences between off-the-shelf Globe 3000 and Treemotion Bridges suggest more than that. Starts on page two: https://www.teufelberger.com/pub/media/contentmanager/content/downloads/16-10-17__treeMOTION_rope_bridge_EN.PDF

    Rope bridge recommendations

    The one thing that's not clear about the TM bridges is that they are a "modified/optimized" version of globe 3000, not globe 3000 itself. They say on their site that the cordage has been altered somewhat from the original recipe to optimize it for bridge usage, and they discourage use of raw...

    Maples (Indiana) doing weird stuff...

    Singular though the photo is, yes, there are three doing this. It's at a local church. Thanks for the input!

    Petzl Sequoia (Non-SRT) 2019 Review

    I'm sure they do/will, but I haven't seen them for sale through any of our usual suppliers yet.

    Petzl Sequoia (Non-SRT) 2019 Review

    ...but it accomplishes what you're after, yes. It lowers the leg loops, and you can still adjust the elastic in the back as well.

    This is the Akimbo

    Sorry for the late reply. My biggest/most significant takeaway from Jamie's presentation was this really neat way to do a soft lock-off of the rope by pulling a bight of your tail through your carabiner and looping it over the top of the device to prevent the frictionless tending from gobbling...

    I want a rope with almost zero stretch.

    Where's everyone getting this 10mm HTP? I've been searching for a by-the-foot source with no luck.

    I want a rope with almost zero stretch.

    Marlow Vega is listed with a slightly higher elongation at 1.2%, but it's a 24 strand, not a kernmantle, so it may give you a different feel regardless of the numbers.

    SRS Redirects

    I'm starting to dig deeper into retrievables, and I've devoured this and the 2016 thread. I threw a toy together last night and thought I'd share. Treestuff carries This purpose-built retrievable redirect, and I've been wanting to try it, but paying for all the stitching didn't suit the...

    This is the Akimbo

    Jamie spoke today as one of the presenters during Jambo day 4, which consisted of various industry-based presentations. It was great to hear some details straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak, as well as further tips and tricks as I continue to learn new and better ways to make it work...

    What would you like to see introduced or improved in arborist equipment?

    I'd like to see a detachable wraparound-portion of a saw handle for big saws that pops on and off with a lever like bicycle wheels/seats have so I can have the comfort and functionality of a full wrap but can still flush cut my stumps at the end of the day.

    Securing core fibers for Bridge use

    Any recommendations for at-home means of securing core fibers in kernmantle ropes being used in knotted bridges? Or is this a non-issue?
