    Safety Knot Modification

    I added on extra "Loop" while bending a safety knot so it looks like a little bow-tie. I find that is pulls out like butter even if jammed hard and tight. See you at the top, Dan

    Gear Innovation

    August 13, 2012 To whom it may concern: sui generis laws This may read a little weird but it seems that we all share the same fascination with new gear that makes tall tasks just a bit easier. Granted some things like the wheel are never re-invented they just got better by adding just one...

    SRT line self retreival idea

    The drop bag can have a keychain biner or two around your climbing rope to act as a traveler. It will follow your rope as it goes down. When/If the bag stops midway you can slap it loose with a quick shake of the rope. Or maybe clip the bag to the highest point of your descent gear and let it...

    Re: Cool be\'ngs! Not really muddy but an all day spray will get the ground wet so place it on good grass. I bought mine at a big greenhouse/garden store for $13 but online you can find them at many flow rates. The higher the nozzle the less the ground soak. You can secure it high on a limb...

    Cool be'ngs!

    Re: Cool be\'ngs! I have two of these foggers that attach to a garden hose. The three mister nozzles create a cooling fog that gives one a nice cool. You can thread your hose in the low boughs or use a pipe to hose adpaptor to a ground spike portion of a sprinkler. Play Misty for me...
