    Rig N' Wrench

    I have the same Rig Saver Prusik set up and have been using it girthed onto smaller anchor limbs (the prusik is quite long to make all the wraps on the 5/8" sling). For larger anchor limbs I attached it (prusik knot) to a short 1/2" eye sling as an adjustable anchor sling for the R&W (R&W passes...

    Saka vs Velox?

    Thanks, Richard, for the great video. I always appreciate your thorough design approach. Your comparison of the Roll'n'Lock and the Duck was also very helpful, while I was putting together my current system. I know this is an evolutionary step backward in rope ascent for you, but I'm curious...

    Saka vs Velox?

    Not to go off on a tangent, but I just thought I'd share an over the shoulder system that I've been messing around with at work, thanks to the suggestions of Reed, Derrick, the venerable Mr. Beranek, etc, etc. This is obviously nothing super original. I'm just after a system that is fast...

    New ABR Retrieveable Redirect from TS

    Light is right! Are there aluminum slic pins out there. I remember getting some samples from the supplier a couple years ago, and I almost think I remember an aluminum one in the bag. Probably not with the double catches though. Anyone using a 9 or 10mm sewn prussic loop with a 'biner and a...

    Bulldog OAR Lanyard Adjuster

    The BOLA pitch combo just came to mind as the BDB seems to glide right through the pitch most of the time. the art works pretty nice with the pitch too. Spendy but smooth - well worth the money for the number of pines I work at times. Could not agree more with having a lot of rope in the lanyard...

    Cool elm project

    Awesome project! Had a rash of large dead elm removals this year and last - sad. I can't wait to hear more!

    Bulldog OAR Lanyard Adjuster

    Anyone have any feed back on how the BOLA is working with pitchy lanyards on those gooy pine removals? I work enough white pines that I have a dedicated 12mm htp lanyard/flipline - it's nice and stiff! It has sewn eyes w/ 'biners and an art positioner (works well with pitch) so I can remove all...

    Constant problems with 372

    Agree with ehp and ROYCE. No decompression, and it likes a little choke even when warmish, but really easy to miss the pop. My 372 had a really rough break in period - lots of flooding! Now it's one of my strongest running saws. So, be patient, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    Underpowered Husky 394xp - New Cylinder??

    I am digging in to an old (late 90's) 394xp that starts/runs well, but suffers from lack of power. Here are some photos of the cylinder and piston. The piston replacement is a given. How bad does this cylinder look? -Thanks

    Saka vs Velox?

    That's what I'm talking about! Gotta love multifunction. Why not use the saw lanyard for the bungee part? It's already attached to the back of the saddle, just gotta make it the right length.

    Saka vs Velox?

    Oooh, gotcha. That does look interesting (and easily made) - thanks! How does ascending with that setup compare to a SAKA or Haas?

    Saka vs Velox?

    I missed that post. My inner technotard dominates - can't find it.

    Saka vs Velox?

    Thanks for all the input guys! Steve and Reed - I really like the clipping across the back/top of the saddle for stowage - nice! Sounds like SAKA over regular Haas. I'm just wondering if the Velox might run a little smoother than the SAKA with an even longer overall run of bungee.

    Saka vs Velox?

    Finally ready to switch over to a foot ascender system. Been a die hard foot locker. Any thoughts from anyone who has used the SAKA and the new Haas Velox would be great. Or at least SAKA vs regular Haas. Also wondering about pro/cons on the Haas of going with attached foot loop, or using the...

    Favorite methods for through-cable hole alignment

    I just tried a small magnetic torpedo level stuck onto a cheap metal laser pointer. I had to work a few different long spans on a wide spreading multi-stem red maple. Worked pretty good.

    Homemade throwball launcher-on the CHEAP

    Thanks, N.e. Tree! I built a very similar PVC launcher last spring, and used it all summer and fall. I've found that Buckingham bismuth 8 0z., or Weaver d-series 12 0z. both work well in the 1 1/2" pipe, and go plenty high with 80 - 100 psi. As far as safety of the pipe exploding, it would be...

    Thanks. Do you happen to remember what TCI issue that was?
