    Birds, Trees, and Federal Regulations

    The biggest issue is always going to be the length of the nesting season. A LOT of companies aren't willing to postpone work in occupied trees for a few months, and will turn a blind eye. Doing this to a raptor-occupied tree could result in business-debilitating fines, or even jail time, so...

    Splicing and Stitching in NorCal

    Bailey's ( woodland) does a little in-house. I can do 3-strand, bu looking to learn myself, so I'll watch this eagerly.

    Felled a Tree...with my body weight.

    We had a few small 14" base diameter-ish removals to do along with a good deal of trimming in a backyard near Folsom, CA. Lots of wealthy folks in the area, and this one was no exception. Didn't have permission to drop pretty much anything without a rope to protect her plants. The removal I...

    Those clips are amazing. I lucked out, and got one black and one yellow, to match my sequoia in the 3-pack...colors vary, but I highly recommend. 11.7 mm rope actually slides through it well, so you don't necessarily have to detach the rope from the clip to use it.

    The second ring in opposition is really useful, especially if you aren't running a lanyard with a Pinto and you have to have two connectors for the flipline, but don't want to flood your bridge. Then, you can switch things up and put your lifelines on the secondary when you double-crotch...

    I talked to Jared Abrojena about his adjustable bridge at an SRT workshop, and he noted that it can creep a touch at certain angles, so he's got the spare rope daisy chained behind it to add a little resistance. I don't want a bridge that long anyway, but I think I'll still hold out for the...

    Great points. Alrighty, here we go. This is a very bare-bones setup I climb on most often, which is geared towards trimming. Very handsaw-specific. On the right, I stow my flipline, which is 12' of Luna on a Zillon adjuster. It is my humble opinion that the RE Pirate is the...

    You're not alone...waving my Petzl flag proudly. It's great to see all of these harnesses laid out, but I'm curious...what's the rhyme or reason behind the way you have yours (general term, no one specific) set up? I know this all comes down to personal preference, but what preference dictates...
