I have a question about the Sena system:
When your fully equipped and up in the tree is there a wire anywhere? Like running down your back, or is it all condensed into that lil gizmo on the back of the hard hat?
‘Tis a long time! It was originally estimated to take 3 months. Buuuuuut, I also had chipped my heel, so i wasn’t allowed to put any weight on that leg for 3 months. And it took workers-comp 2 months to get me into PT. So THEIR theory is that the femur wasn’t stimulated, nor was blood flow to...
I have been swamping the forums over the last couple months. Asking questions, throwing in a couple pennies here and there, and trolling around for new saddle input.
I have been out of the field since the end of September with a broken femur. So I have had a gang of time to putt around.
I have...
Would you be willing to post some pics of that harness? And where did you see the option for a buckle at the waist? The only place I have found that harness was Buckingham’s website.
@GreenstoneVT , if you have any pics too.
Thanks.
I was almost thinking about the ergolite (the one with the...
Thanks and a shout-out to ISA-WC and today’s crew from ProAction Tree Service: Chris, Patrick, Jared, and Bricen.
~~Climbers Workshop in Henderson, NV.
Thanks to ISA Western Chapter and to ProAction Tree Service. The workshop day was cool. A lot of people walked away from there with some useful information, a couple nifty little tricks, and perhaps some life saving tactics.
I, as well as many others I am sure, a very appreciative for the...
Non-thread related: You ever watch LivePD? One guest that frequents is officer Sean “Sticks” Larkin.
-thought the name looked familiar. Lol.
—ok, sorry for derailing on the conversation.
ANOTHER rope wouldn’t be a bad idea. I always imagined that if the victims rope was compromised you would package them to your harness and decend the rescuers line.
So I have been beating this question around in a few different threads and haven’t really got a solid on it yet: Does anyone have experience with the Buckingham Rebellion? Wanting to know if there is a good solid spot for a caritool (most likely a vault) And because the legs only have that...
The hip-Ds were a big part of it. I had them flip backwards a couple times and get snagged in my caritool. Also didn’t like that there was still 2 full sized Ds on it, but only as an accessory attachment. Thought that was silly. If they wanted the weight to be kept down, why not use lil Ds and...
How do you think it holds up to the material of the ergolite chain?
Kinda torn between the Sentinel and the Empire. They are so similar. But maybe the Empire is more solid? It weighs a little more, which what makes me think the material is more durable. The sentinel kills it on the price point...
There is gonna be adventageous people out there. People will scam disability, workers comp, even using their own children to get one up on the system. It happens every day, every where. But these certain systems, whether government agencies or private funds, were originated in hopes of helping...
I climb MRS and SRS. I like a canopy anchor. It when using a basal I tend to either just do the simple running bowline w/ Yosemite and a circus bowline up the line. or a figure8 Locked off.
I figure the D4 (or D5 :) ) would be a better investment because I could use it at the base if needed OR...
Nice. I didn’t know there was a d5 for a fatter line. I had only recently heard of the d4 from that Rich Hattier webinar that TStuff produced (for which I am greatful)
