    Wrench safety add on ???

    Slip that litter bugger inside some tubular webbing; whip lash stich around each end with some waxed hemp cord and it may become one step closer to prefection.

    wrench and wrench

    I really like the efficiency of a rigid link used here instead of the cord tether. Just for kicks here are some random thoughts on a rigid link construction that demand to be beta tested. Any taker? 1.Oak dowel rod with a pair of closed eye hooks lagged into holes drilled in each end. Easy to...

    Ruling on self-splices & Tree Climbing Comps

    I viewing the MidWestern Chapter Facebook page there has been a lot of talk about all splices needing to be labeled with tags to ID the splices. Who best to ask than the Buzzers. Who decides and where are the published regs? Curious minds want to know.

    Setups for children?

    An additional level of safety beyond the slippery hitch is once the climber passes the 6 foot mark lash the down rope to a band secured around the base of the tree. That way if they take a screamer they will have a sudden stop just before the ground instead of a impact. Jam the knot and their...

    Setups for children?

    Ideas- make the system self-tending by positionig the friction hitch of your choice at about eye level so all down pull is below the self-advancing hitch. Add a foot loop(s) so they can stand up; push up; sit down; pull up.

    disabled climbers

    Disabled Climbers Aloft I have made it a quest in life to help anyone who longs for a canopy experience can have one if possible. No matter how much a person wants to sometimes there are obstacles one cannot overcome. One cannot but many can. Partner up with those who are in the know. There...
