    HH as a midline anchor

    Has there been any talk about using the HH as an anchor for a double line system? Personally I would feel fine about using it for such work....But I'm asking along the competition guidelines. Per say I set a single line first to ascend, then just dropped a pulley off the bottom of the HH and...

    quick connect dog bone for HH

    My guy finished the prototype dog bone today. It looked much better than I thought it would. Said he made it out of a grade 5 bolt, which he said was harder and stronger than the original. I'm a little hesitant to test it high in the air. I'll be keeping it very low for now. My initial...

    quick connect dog bone for HH

    I've heard of slick pins with a double lock, instead of the single lock that is on the rr. If I like what I find with my new bone I would def look into the double locking pin.

    quick connect dog bone for HH

    I've been using the hh for about 5 months now and love it. my only problem is that when reattaching it to a line, sometimes a different line, that it usually takes a while before I can get the hitch cord to the desired length. I currently have a machinist friend working on a dog bone that...

    Tips and Tricks

    In regards to the hitch hiker, I put an ISC fixed plate pulley on the bottom of the oxan so the side plates ride on the outside of the attachment ring on my saddle. Makes tending slack much easier.

    Tips and Tricks

    This tip brought to you by Derrik Martin....When redirecting a single line, use a munter hitch on the biner. This dosent allow the climbers weight to pull branch unions together or apart. rope then acts like a brace. a definite game changer...allowing you to redirect into much smaller limbs.

    retrieving my Pulleysaver

    A few months ago I switched the standard prussic cord on the ps with 8mm hrc and made the prussic loop that holds the pinto longer. I wasn't intending to make the retrieval easier...but it seemed to.

    Not a knot

    A good friend of mine and former coworker was helping a landscape co. by clearing some large river birch from a office building. When my friend was done clearing the first tree of the day he noticed one limb out of place that he thought should be removed. My friend then re-ascended the tree to...

    What rope with a zigzag

    Been using velocity for a couple months. Works great but think it maybe contributing to some excessive wear.

    zigzag

    As mentioned above, the fibers above are probably from my gloves, the zz has eaten a few pair this winter. I am how ever wondering if rope size is one of the contributing factors. I put my velocity(11mm) through the zz in jan. and am still running the same rope. 11 mm is at the bottom of the...

    zigzag

    here is the best pic of the wear points. The only problem I can foresee is the burs becoming large enough to catch a rope. http://www.flickr.com/photos/94412076@N04/with/8593031743/
