    cabling 2 stems less than 3 ft apart

    No worries. Totally agree with your thought about it being better than an invasive cabling systwm. "Shock absorber" was of course the word I was looking for. Where are you doing your cabling anyway? I´m guessing you´re in the states. I´m in Berlin. Adrian

    cabling 2 stems less than 3 ft apart

    Sorry, I´m stupid! Somehow I didn´t see all of the photos that were already there! I´m really glad you were nice to the tree. Some constructive critique? May I? In the name of a good world arboriculture I shall proceed with my positive criticism... You don´t have the dildo in there (I...

    cabling 2 stems less than 3 ft apart

    Nice pic, i can see why you wanted to cable it. I´m really glad you chose Cobra. It´s so nice to the tree! Love to trees, love to trees. Why don´t you show some nice pics of your lovely handiwork itself, ie. the cables? That would be much better. In waiting, Ady-Tree-Lover

    Friction Hitches!

    Footplates for Climbing Spikes--any good ?

    Hi guys. I hear you talking about footplates for spikes and I´m wondrin if I´ve got something that might be interesting for you. We´ve got some spikes over here (germany) which have been around for a couple of years now which work in what sounds like a similar way to the ones you are describing...

    Hi there, I was actually wondering what Fly is? I guess it´s a kind of climbing rope that we don´t have here in Europe (Germany) but perhaps I´m wrong?! Sankyou for zee help! Ady

    Friction Hitches!

    Hello there. I would like to find out if anybody can claim absolute satisfaction from climbing with either a Marschard or a Valdothain hitch. What I mean by absolute satisfaction is when the hitch allows rope through when needed, but also grips the climbing rope securely when weight is put on it...
