    Solidur Pants

    Company I contract off of went with the lower end solidur as well as one of the top end ones. So far, I’d give them a 3 star rating. I don’t wear them, but they really don’t last as long as my pfanners or cloggers. In 3 months they’re much more torn up then my pfanners and mine are a year old...

    New Climber Advice

    I had bad vines on 3 ash trees, 2 persimmon and a maple after I moved into my first home. For the ash, I cut the ash trees down because they had EAB. For the persimmons and maple, I cut them off as high as I could reach with my polesaw. They started to fall off within 6 months and within a year...

    Decayed White Oak...interested to hear how you would have bid it

    I’d have bid $2500-2900, depending on trips to the dump. I’m a 2 man crew with just a dump trailer and pick up, I still contract off others more than I work my own jobs. I’d have rented a mini, free fell everything into the yard, flopped the spar and seed and straw when I was finished. This is...

    Need info on HASS connection for climbers

    If you use a powerscender you’ll want to use that haas connection. It spaces your feet evenly so your spurs are the same distance on both feet. It’s like 1/4” difference but it feels like so much more

    Secondary tie-in for spurring: choked split-tail climbing line -OR- running bowline -OR- ??

    I learned how to climb on a singing tree rope runner and SRT. I learned a few of knots, bought a big shot and throwline and practiced with a base tie at about 10-15 feet til I got comfortable. Then I went higher. I very much learned on the job, which probably wasn’t the smartest way, I was...

    Omniblock 2.6 compare/contrast to new Omniblock 4.5 and questions

    I would say the only way to truly know would be contact Rock exotica. It doesn’t take long to find videos of the Omni blocks being used in treework and people that swear by them. All the videos or demonstrations on RE website, it is only used in static rescue operations. I am a little confused...

    Omniblock 2.6 compare/contrast to new Omniblock 4.5 and questions

    Yes it was a typo, I meant the red is for use “without” shock load. I agree, I call a shockload or impact the same thing. I don’t know if it’s correct, but I call a shock load anything that moves. Whether that is a 6 foot drop, or a 6 inch drop into the rigging system. If it doesn’t come off...

    Omniblock 2.6 compare/contrast to new Omniblock 4.5 and questions

    From what I gather, the material handling one, The red, is meant for static loads, lifting, lowering with shock load. The orange is meant to hold up better to impact and shock loading. That’s what I’ve heard anyway

    Could Save My Life Some Day...

    No way I would climb on that. Even if I was tied in with another line all the time and the lanyard was a secondary, it’d be unnerving. But what about when you advance your line or position a redirect and the lanyard is your primary? Not for me. For those sketchy, might break out moments or need...

    Omniblock 2.6 compare/contrast to new Omniblock 4.5 and questions

    I have a 2.6 and a 1.5 Omni. I use them all the time for anything under 1000#. They’re the bees knees. If I rig big wood I use a safebloc, I wouldn’t buy the big Omni. I’m a rock exotica fan, but it doesn’t seem to match the bulky, hot forged mass of the dmm counterpart. Dmm or isc is the way to...

    Tree Motion or monkey beaver?

    A saddle really is personal preference, and I’m just here to learn some stuff from the greats, but for me, the monkey beaver is the best saddle I’ve ever worn. I absolutely love it

    Stolen climbing gear

    Friend of mine had 2 husqvarna 395s stolen out of his truck in a parking lot last month. I always pack all my gear into my garage at night. Sucks and takes some extra time but Thieves are lowlifes and i don’t want to shoot somebody over stealing my chainsaw. Hope you get some sort of...

    TreeMotion Vs. Onyx

    I think the onyx is good, it just had issues that I feel the monkey beaver will not have

    TreeMotion Vs. Onyx

    The onyx is a very different saddle. I have a Petzl Sequoia and a new tribe onyx that I just bought. The sequoia shared a lot with the TM, in design, but imo, the tree motion looks better quality and comfort than the sequoia. As for the onyx. I think it has some really great features. I love...

    anyone try to climb with any of these gloves?

    Home Depot has some green gloves I like. I have about 3 weeks on a pair and they just now got a hole in the fingertips. As soon as my boots hit the ground I ditch them, I hate gloves and I thought my hands were pretty calloused, but those of you that don’t use gloves are another species

    Teufelberger Drenaline 11.8mm

    A slaice pulls through better than an eye splice or stitch. A slaice will flex. I loved all my slaiced eyes
