    Power Lines on One Side / Safe to Climb Away From Wires?

    Thank you, I will remember that. I may even call the utility myself to discuss with them. They would probably appreciate it if I provoded a pole number too.

    Power Lines on One Side / Safe to Climb Away From Wires?

    That noise is called "corona". Its the surrounding air becoming ionized and discharging like static. It's common on high voltage and especially audible on >100kV. Good read here gents and thanks for sharing your knowledge as well as some of the ANSI guidelines. I had a recent client ask me for...

    Thoughts on Minimum Pricing for Small Jobs

    This ^ I have a tiny operation but still tell people my minimum is $200 for a tree that can be walked up to, cut and walk away. Its price of admission really. I recently did a cut and walk for a guy that was $600. It was a dirty rotton SOB though. It was 3ft on the stump, had a wound from...

    Rope Wrench - Hitch/Rope compendium.

    I've been noticing the Michoacan hasn't been tending nicely. I think I'm going wash my hitch cord and see if that make a difference. It was being so problematic I tied a Distel and it resolved the problem. Anyone have a similar experience with the 9mm RIT cord or the Michoacan?

    harness bridge forces from multiple rings?

    I havent read the replies yet but, rhe first distinction worth noting is that the death triangle is very different than what you have drawn because your setup does not have the third leg of the triangle. This causes the resultant vector force at your anchor to be parallel with the direction of...

    to steel core or not to steel core

    For what its worth, (I've only been climbing a little while) I cant imagine fighting a blake's to adjust my lanyard like you are. I use a log rope lanyard, a prusik, 2 beaners and a micro pully to tend the slack. Fighting with nonsense wears me out by the end of the day. The saying, "just...

    SOLD

    I sent a message to you both. I have a brand new Treemotion S Light and want a regular like @Ewilliams has... If @MagicMonkey is interested in a S Light then maybe the three of us can work a deal.

    https://www.bartlettman.com/products/treemotion-light-harness?_pos=3&_sid=a8f31fd60&_ss=r "one size fits all" I guess I need a fat guy saddle.

    Tree Austria 3.2 or maybe Weaver Denali?

    I agree, I likely am larger than I realize. I understand I'm wearing it over clothing so just because I might wear a 36" pants doesnt mean I'll have 5" or room in the belt but I did expect to have more room than 1.5"... It seems misleading that its advertised as one size fits all but has a 41"...

    Tree Austria 3.2 or maybe Weaver Denali?

    Honestly, it might not be that bad but its like putting on your pair of pants without unbuttoning them first. If it had a buckle it might be ok but milking them on over bulky clothing is going to be a chore and I see it getting old fast. I'm calling tomorrow to see if I can get a return or an...

    Tree Austria 3.2 or maybe Weaver Denali?

    I read the book that came with the saddle and it says 30-41" waist... are you serious? How is that one size fits all? That's not even one size fits most lol. Maybe this one is on sale because they made the waist belt too short? lol I could see my actual waist size with pants on being 37" but...

    Tree Austria 3.2 or maybe Weaver Denali?

    Update, the S Light came in and I tried it on. I'm a little disappointed. For a "one size fits all" saddle this thing sure is tight. I had a hard time getting the waist belt up over my upper thighs with PJ pants on. This might be one size fits all, up to 36" waist? I'm not a huge guy but not...

    Stein Vega Harness Review

    Thanks for the review @Stumpsprouts but, I decided on the treemotion light. It was actually cheaper than the Vega so I couldnt help it. There's not a lot of reviews on the Vega and people spoke highly of the treemotion. I was looking at the tree austria as well. That looks like a nice saddle...

    Tree Austria 3.2 or maybe Weaver Denali?

    Hearing these kinds of reviews is reassuring because the visual of the sequoia makes me want to like it and I would have probably went with it over the S light had I not dug deep enough. A friend of mine that is also new to climbing was asking me what belts I was looking at. Just yesterday I...
