    Blatant ripoff of Port a Wrap?

    I can't believe Stein stooped to that level.... I've always thought of Stein as an innovative quality manufacturer especially since they had reg design and build the LD's that they first came out with. Good on you Reg for not letting them put the "RC" on it. I'm sure it's a quality tool, but I...

    If you only had one.

    9/16ths stable braid here too. I must admit I have had very good experiences with 1/2" double esterlon with a 6" eye splice for knotless rigging of light stuff under 1,000lbs

    [ QUOTE ] Do you have a GRCS? The mounting plate has more going on than the bull rigger in that picture. Of course they aren't going to have the mounting straps on the truck mount, but surely more than square tube and a plate like you suggest. CNC cutting is your choice, not a necessity. I...

    Hey man, I'm not trying to argue with you but I was a fabricator for 8 yrs before I started tree work and I am just going on what I see, which is about 6' of 2x2 square tubing a piece of 1/4" plate and a couple ft. of round bar and probably a couple of other misc small pieces. It can all be cut...

    [ QUOTE ] So why is the bullrigger $400? It's a complete backing plate too, with the loops, pigtails, etc. I don't have one, nor need one, but just an observation. [/ QUOTE ] That is a rediculous question, the bull rigger is a functional tool, not just a mount for a tool. The bull...

    Z133 rigging changes Feb. 2013

    It would be cool if there was some sort of rare earth magnet that was embedded in the scabbard and into the handsaws to keep the saw in place. Can you imagine getting hit with a silky falling from 30+ ft up.... That could really ruin someones day huh?

    I spliced up a 12' tachyon that I use with 8mm HRC tied in a vt with a hc pulley. I also have a 18' bluemoon that I use the same setup on. They both can double as a second climbing line for versatile positioning. I use rock-o biners with them both. I also have several other various lengths that...

    Local Tree Companies Suck in my area!

    Thanks Jimmy, I guess the number of hacks is far greater than the number of pro's... It's sad. I guess I just only see the hacks out & about due to the massive amount of them out roaming our streets.. thanks for the heads up on the info. I will look into that..

    That's a good idea didjon, I just wonder how strong it is. Especially with a line coming out the top at any kind of funky angle. I have heard that the fairleads on the grcs have been bent from lines coming out the top at awkward angles...does anyone know anyone who has used this? I wonder if it...

    I don't claim to know everything or all things, I am however aware of a lot of the latest techniques and have seen what can be accomplished with these techniques I know that me "teaching" myself wouldn't be as good as learning from a more experienced climber such as most of you guys. I do...
