    Tree Austria 3.2 or maybe Weaver Denali?

    Thanks, hard to know what you want when all youve had is bare minimum. This should suit me for a long time as my skills grow .

    Tree Austria 3.2 or maybe Weaver Denali?

    True but, I have less than 1 year climbing. Might be 6 months if you use common core math.

    Tree Austria 3.2 or maybe Weaver Denali?

    I found this video that helped explain the changes to the EVO. I'm in the NE so I work a lot of trees with large canopies and there are times that I have my life line behind me over head and that requires me to either run it over my shoulder or under my armpit. I was thinking I would just...

    Tree Austria 3.2 or maybe Weaver Denali?

    Can anyone explain to me the difference between the TreeMotion Evo and the regular 2018 version? @rico? From what I can tell it looks like the EVO has a double rope on the bridge and maybe the lower D's are slightly different... Other than that I cant really tell. I'm not adverse to the extra...

    Technically speaking, the PETZL Sequoia SRT saddle at bartlettman is in the range at $399.46.... Didnt realize I had so many nice options... Thanks again for the link.

    Tree Austria 3.2 or maybe Weaver Denali?

    I watched the video but dont have time to read all 30 pages... Does it come already tied with the cordage or is it "assembly required"? Looks nice. How do I get in touch with the guy?

    Tree Austria 3.2 or maybe Weaver Denali?

    Thanks for the offer. I'm near Syracuse and have family in the Falls... I'm looking to buy this weekend while on sale so wont be able to take you up on that offer before purchasing. I might see if I can find a non-superlight on sale. I like the idea of having a life rated ring on the back. Many...

    That certainly changes things. Any experience with either of the three mentioned?

    Tree Austria 3.2 or maybe Weaver Denali?

    I've been looking at all the different saddles and with Black Friday sales I want to take advantage and upgrade. I'm climbing on Weaver 4-D's. I have a simple thought process, if I'm spending more than 400 then I'm just going to get a Monkey Beaver but, I don't really want to drop the extra...

    New climber. Climbing leaning oak?

    I feel the same way. Maybe I'm a little bias because my tree business is part-time so it doesn't hurt if I don't work a week or two but I value my time and lets face it, it is a high risk occupation.

    Stein Vega Harness Review

    Bumping this old thread... I'm interested to hear some reviews on this harness. I see them on sale right now and was considering an upgrade. One thing I wanted to know about specifically, I see the hip D-rings are flared so they wont sit flat against the belt but will it squeeze your hips if...

    Chinese bastard saws

    They are a mixed bag honestly and if you looked around you could probably finds a good used OEM saw for 3-400. They are a gamble, absolutely. The US dealers that I've seen, 100% disassemble them and put thread sealer on all the fasteners and give them a 5 tank shake down before they let them out...

    Some questions about felling a dead Southern Live Oak

    Branch weight towards the intended falling direction is usually a good thing. The weight of the branch helps to move it towards the intended fall direction. Without seeing the actual site its hard to make the call but falling from the ground was my initial assessment based on limited info. If...

    husky 395 or stihl 660 for milling with alaskan mill?

    I'm partial to Husqvarna, bias out of the gate so take my advice for what it's worth but, I think the air filtration alone is worth making the decision for the 395. I also think it will stomp out the 660. Anyways, I do a fair bit of milling and a 42' bar will allow you to mill with a 36" mill...

    When your saw's been "field tuned" far beyond recognition of OEM-spec, how do *you* begin getting it right?

    Yes, but you need to decide how many conveniences you want to have. FastTach is a good option for a wireless setup. The inconvenience with all of the wireless tachometers is you have to hold it right at the spark plug cap to pickup the spark with one hand. Most of the time it will read the...

    When your saw's been "field tuned" far beyond recognition of OEM-spec, how do *you* begin getting it right?

    The H and L jet can be set with your tac. Maybe I missed the particular saw model in question but the idle rpm and the high rpm unloaded is published info on most modern saws. I have the ear for tuning a saw and just set it based on throttle response and hearing the "4-stroke" burble. Where I...

    Climbing with chaps

    I'd like to learn more about the risks of having them while climbing. I'm new at it and don't own saw pants so I have been using apron chaps under my climb harness and under my spurs. All of my work is removal so I'm not trying to snake through a canopy or other branches. My mind says some cut...
