    Climbers for Christ

    I could probably elaborate if I think about it but this is a great summary that I genuinely agree with.

    Climbers for Christ

    Perhaps when he was alive, but religious institutions succeeding him may or may not offer any of it. For me, I mostly felt confused and outcasted for questioning the history and teachings as a young child in a Catholic school. Priests and nuns would usually default to saying I needed to have...

    Climbers for Christ

    I agree not to dismiss anyone's point of view entirely. I just take things a bit literal and find it silly when people quote "Jesus" as if it were the words that came from his mouth. Basically the oldest game of broken telephone.

    Climbers for Christ

    Good example to not take the bible literally. It's a collection of books written by multiple peeps then mushed together. It's been written, re-written, translated, re-translated, edited, re-edited many times over many generations. By people. Jesus said and I quote: Matthew 10:10: “Nor scrip for...

    Palm Tree Help!

    Looks like cracks associated with rapid growth and/or arrested root development which is a sign of maturity that in general appears to be expedited by frequent irrigation hitting the trunk. Typically not a structural concern or weakness but probe, sound and perform your own assessment.

    Climbers for Christ

    This thread just looks like fun haha. I was raised in a culturally and educationally Catholic setting. My dad was literally raised to be a priest from birth but the corruption he observed within while in the seminary in college lead him towards becoming a therapist and helping people without...

    Stone Knot Anchor?

    Thx, I played with fiddle sticks. Cool techniques but very rarely apply them. I like the stone knot for primary anchor with quickie though.

    Stone Knot Anchor?

    Thanks AJ, I think I remember reading a thread where perhaps you were applying it for basal anchors with a fiddle stick?

    Stone Knot Anchor?

    I know it's a lil taboo, but what are your thoughts on using a stone knot (hitch) for life support anchors? I like how easy it is to tie/untie and how the two rope strands and cinching action can help keep your gear favorably oriented. I know they're pretty commonly used in canyoneering and are...

    Quickie killer?

    Agreed, more difficult but not impossible. I just put that as a silly reminder that they can still be rubbed open since he said they could not be. I have a ball lock on my lanyard for that reason. I find them equally easy as DMM triple locker after a lil practice. Personal preferences regarding...

    Quickie killer?

    I agree, slightly more difficult to rub open. I'll just drop this one here to increase confidence though ✌️

    Quickie killer?

    The groove for the release button catches plenty on its own though. Might help to make it smooth but not really a solution in my opinion.

    Quickie killer?

    Thanks Moss, yeah no intention of getting rid of it. Ideally the sheave would be out but I would have a hard time trusting its orientation staying put, especially considering the release concerns. This set up (shown) mitigates that to where I think I would be comfortable. Honestly the reduced...

    Quickie killer?

    This is pretty much the way I was "going" to use mine, nice to have centering. Curious to see how they improve the design, definitely some room for that.

    Quickie killer?

    Is "improbable" better? There's no guarantees with any device, especially not with the trees you're anchoring to. I guess that's why redundancies are so nice. If it's improbable to unlock and even more improbable for the pin to come off (set up right) then that is within my acceptable risk...

    Quickie killer?

    thanks for the concern, I don't use equipment for redirects mostly beasthorn style or natural. I'd be using it as a primary choked anchor and maybe play with it as a chest roller. I choked it off on several limbs/stems and it oriented favorably every time I pulled it down or slacked it for like...

    Quickie killer?

    Idk, I feel like a bit of a dummy for not waiting but just got mine and playing around with it it doesn't seem as bad as what everyone is putting it out to be. Would be nice to have a bit of extra security but also nice how easily you can open it up. Obviously be aware of keeping the pin up or...

    acephate as a bark spray: Who has applied this way, with what product?

    I remember finding a foliar eb formulation but think it was only for greenhouses or agriculture.. I heard rainbow was playing with a formulation as well.

    Yep, mectinite is great.

    acephate as a bark spray: Who has applied this way, with what product?

    Nope, I don't think it's too effective for lepidoptera. We don't really have much of an issue with lepidoptera pests where I live. Most of the outbreaks occur going into winter when target hosts are senescing. In the rare case it's bad I usually knock down with something like BT or spinosad, or...
