    ProAction & WC ISA

    Big ups to western Chapter and the ProAction crew: Chris, Jared, Patrick, and Bryce. “HOW YOU DO THAT!” LOL. May 17 & 18 was great in Reno, NV. First day was climbing technique, next was aerial rescue. A lot of good people showed up and everyone took something positive away with them. Super...

    Our elders and Philips LifeLine

    Just a fair warning if anyone is considering getting one of the senior citizens in their life a WIRELESS LifeLine unit. After we got my Grandmother all set up we found out that the box wouldn’t work. It had two bars of signal, which is the minimum requirement for them to give it the OK. But when...

    White fungus under Jeffreyi bark

    A friend brought me this piece of a broken limb. Under the bark is this white, cotton like, fungus. Some of the outer xylem is a little punky. There are holes (entrance/exit?, birds??) that are mostly around 4mm in diameter. Too big for a sapsucker, and not uniform enough. There is no pitch...

    Please excuse the deluge

    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...

    Aerial Rescue Kit (the ARK)

    I am thinking about compiling an ARK to keep near the work zone. Was wondering if anyone has one prepared and what you may have in it ready to go. I am thinking it should all fit in one backpack style haul-pack, and should always come out of the truck before an ascent. This is what I have so...

    Ergo, Ergo Lite, Edge, Sentinel: Waist Stabalizer.

    The Velcro strap for the waist/belly. I do enjoy it because it keeps some chip-throw out the britches. My concern with it has become that after a while you can notice a hard white plastic revealed at the point it exits the interior of the waist belt. With my old Edge Saddle; that hard plastic...

    We need a friggin ribbon

    Ok forget the crap art , I am on a phone and it’s 2am (CHEERS) But I think a little support for safety and PPE would be cool. Rich Hattier referred to ours as a culture of safety. Yet; I come across some guys sometimes that either don’t want to take the time, or have some strange perception...

    Safebloc Sling Choke & Friction

    So when slinging up a porty or a block in the crown SOP is to choke your cow/timber hitch around the eye splice; not below it. I have always understood that choking below the splice would be asking for failure. But with the safebloc that is essentially exactly what you are doing? Am I missing...

    Climbing skills workshop NV

    Workshop with David Abrojena. Henderson, Nevada. Friday Feb. 23. 8AM @ Wells Park. Seems like it will be some basic to semi-intermediate climbing technique. Probably pretty cool for newer climbers. But there will also be Aerial rescue! Which is always good to brush up on IMO. And it is a...

    Notch Sentinel owners

    I read the reviews on Sherrill and TreeStuff, but I didn’t see anybody comment on the waist belt too much. My question is if anybody who owns one has noticed the waist belt loosening throughout the day like the Edge did. And does the Sentinel also run bigger like the Edge did? I had the Edge...

    Ideal Harness

    Anybody ever been browsing for a new ride, and one is almost perfect, but it has 1 thing you don’t like, or another harness only has 1 thing you do like? You ever just wanna Frankenstein a few of them together? Well, My ideal harness: Back padding and lumbar support of the Ergovation. “Tang”...

    MCRS vs TreeMotion

    I have seen the two compared vaguely here and there. Thought a designated side by side might be OK. I had the Edge harness. It was good enough. A few pinch points and the waist belt would tend to loosen up, but it served me well. Now on to the next one. TM had the lower Ds. Nice. But can you...
