    Hitching dead eye slings

    I don't see a problem with using a clove hitch as long as you are not anywhere near pushing the limits of your rigging... Someone please correct me if I'm wrong... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stihl SR 450 opinions

    @InTheTree It is a nice idea but the mist blowers are not as multi purpose as they look. If you're doing 90% blowing I would get a BR 600 or 700. You won't regret it! I got an SR 200 for occasional mist blowing use, and it does fine unless you are in a high production forestry setting, or...

    Hitching dead eye slings

    @colb You might try working some dead eyes into your crane routine just using them as balancers. So you would use whatever slings your crane operator likes as your primary attachment and your dead eyes to help balance the pick. I would also pick up some round slings (endless loops). No more...

    Hitching dead eye slings

    Yes, as long as you are secured to the tree at all times. It is a good practice to be tied in as much as possible but it's up to the discretion of the climber . That is until you are cutting, then you need two points of attachment whether that is two climb lines, or climb line and...

    As far as I know, it is good practice to be tied in at all times but two attachments are only required when running a saw. So ascending with spurs and a flipline only is ok until you start cutting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Flipline failure

    For steel core we exclusively run Yale Maxi Flip which are spliced not crimped like the cheap ones. Does anyone know the mfr's replacement interval on this brand? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
