    Sticht Hitch

    I am now schooled (grade-schooled, maybe) in the sticht hitch. But my initial thought is, it would B difficult 4 me to try this, cause it seems like it requires an elongated prusik tail. the Tyrannosaur has a hard enough time reaching his friction hitch to begin with. i don't think i'd B able...

    Covid Close To You

    It's very unpredictable in terms of how it affects different people. I had it around Christmas 2021, confirmed later by bloodwork from a physical in, maybe Feb, 2022. Wicked sore throat for 2 days, but after that, just coughing up mucous for 2 weeks. More like bronchitis. No fever...

    Tying climb lines together

    In those instances where I can keep a more or less constant tension on the bend I use a carrick. Holds fast as long as you don't slack it and it's ridiculously easy to break no matter how much tension you apply. Never tried it w/dissimilar diameters, or diss. types of rope. I'll have to look...

    Thinking about a mechanical acsender upgrade - but not without testing it

    that very helpful, thank U. i read the other replies as well, and i'm lucky that almost all the trees i prune and/or fell are NOT conifers. i don't have deal w/sap too much. and i don't weigh but 160. Remember the movie Rudy? "Yer five feet NOTHIN'!! U weigh a hundred and NOTHIN'!!" Ha
