    Climbers for Christ

    Luke 19: 5-6 The First Aerial Rescue. Its thoughts like this that pop into my head throughout the day. And there's not many days that go by without making one of those connections. Another example.....Adam, yes the first human, had the job of "tending the garden". Aren't we as arborists...

    If you had to choose

    HH for me. Midline attachable, hitch based, friction is dependent on weight applied, bomb proof, double and single line compatible. Game, Set, Match. This statement is made fully aware that the RR may smash my opinion.....that is when I get one.

    prussik re-direct

    When climbing srt I usually use a munter hitch on a William biner with a short sling, attached to the secondary tip, for a re-direct. The problem I have with this is I usually have to take the load off my climbing line in order to put the munter in place. Today I tried a prussik instead. I...

    Yikes!

    The lack of education I think is to blame in most cases of "unprofessionalism". I do sub work for a small outfit that is just that. Very little ppe, no formal training, ect. But my presence there goes along way. They see me being safe, using two hands on a saw, wearing ppe, taking extra...

    The Case of the knotted squirrels

    Here's the evidence.....https://www.flickr.com/photos/94412076@N04/with/14215781563/ and I must amend my story. The tails were not cut short. The stick was cut out of the tails, then they were untied.
