    Hobbs VS Stein RCW-3001 VS GRCS... vs Rope Jack vs Rigging Wrench RP292... Rig small and boring.

    This tiger does. Some times I go for the kill, fold a tree in half. Some times I eat humble pie. Get up in the tree and double my hours projected. As my original plan was pure fiction of my imagination haha. Less and less, but never in a hurry. Never worry about the profit. I trust it to come...

    Hobbs VS Stein RCW-3001 VS GRCS... vs Rope Jack vs Rigging Wrench RP292... Rig small and boring.

    Thanks @Tom Dunlap, means a lot. I really enjoy the work you have put in here and other content, podcast! I was dead set on the Stein, then bumped into the active Hobbs thread here. The wheels started spinning from there... dug around a bit and reviewed some youtube content I bookmarked years...

    Hobbs VS Stein RCW-3001 VS GRCS... vs Rope Jack vs Rigging Wrench RP292... Rig small and boring.

    The groundwork for such a convoluted post, I'm bored on a rest day full of coffee: This is my first season solo. I work alone often and love solo rigging out problems. I avoid cut and toss if I can see a way to rig it, I rig it. Efficiency be damned (some times, when solo mostly) I love the...

    The latest Matt Cornell harness

    Any chance someone in southern Ontario, Canada has one I can fondle? I'm about to step away from my Petzl and this is in the top three. It just looks so fun to set up and dial in. My main concern is the hip support when rolling sideways. Other contenders are the TreeRex (demoed one in store) or...

    Using a chainsaw to cut below wedges??

    I haven't played with this arrangement, but have seen something like it. I was working a parks project, felling hazard trees. Well, I wasn't, I was the caddy for a legend arb. He stacked wedges on pocket cuts, on a leaner, made it walk WAY off the lay. It was a low target scenario and he...

    Anyone selling a SRS device?

    In Canada eh'? Me too buds, haha. I love dealing with Jason at mapleleafropes.com perhaps give him a call. He always treats me well. Also had great shipping experiences from honeybros.com

    Hitch hiker/2/x thread

    It shouldn't bind, some more time will tell. There is no way for it to rotate and lockout the engagement of the lower dog (carabiner). A fair question for sure. I really prefer having a pinto to assist with tending, makes ponytail redirects a pain. Having to manage a swivel, rope, pulley and a...

    Hitch hiker/2/x thread

    Made a new tending point. The coat hanger wire one needed bigger eyes. The small eyes would deform into the slot a bit and jam up. I found some random mild steel bar stock in my fathers garage and spent a few hours tooling around. The "eyes" are about .625" Dia, with a large taper where the...

    Looking for a new climbing harness - 75% spur removals on doug firs, but also SRT, etc

    I'd love to understand where you are coming from? Has anyone ever clipped into the tail of their bridge, outside the connection paws? I'd think I'd be more likely to do that with the tails pointed back between, overlapping the bridge. Even then it be a strange thing, I pull away when I clip in a...

    WTS Wild Country Ropeman Mk1 Ascender (1 REMAINING)

    Bit more derail, may help sell your grabs perhaps as a bridge adjuster? I happened to have picked up a new Sequoia. (Very underwhelmed with this saddle, buckles back off all the time, releasing the buckles is annoying, Low D's are nice! Wish I got a TreeMo or something...) I found a fairly...

    WTS Wild Country Ropeman Mk1 Ascender (1 REMAINING)

    Nothing to do with this sale directly. I just like them for and adjustable bridge on a sequoia, you will need the newer ring with the larger opening (if you have an old saddle).

    smaller zig zag

    @surveyor May you release a teardrop version with a second MRS hole and a Nano swivel? To completely mimic the old ZigZag functionality?

    Check out this new Saw Lanyard I just got.

    I have run the lanyard for a few months. I like it. The only time I notice it is if I happen to let it hang full extension after a cut, then have pull / flip the saw back to me. The construction is so thin that it is a bit hard to grip, kinda a funny thing to notice. In my mind, if that is the...

    Switch side of the butterfly in the friction saver

    I'm struggling to follow exactly what your goals are and how this approach is ideal. I may suggest looking at a different solution? I find this TIP system is ideal for the majority of climbs when a base anchor is not ideal. Even if I can't (don't want to spend the time) isolate a good TIP. It is...

    Need help working bugs out of SRT setup!

    I'm echoing what has already been said. The positions and distance (and to a lesser extent diameters) for the pin to the roller, as well as the position of where the tether is in relation (both X & Y). The friction of the pin and pulley should have a lesser influence. The friction comes more...

    Hitch hiker/2/x thread

    I tired a dual Quicky on the original HH, and a Quicky / carabiner. I'm back to the original carabiner and a pinto, on to a swivel. The length of the Quicky is too short, causing binding issues and I never got it to tend as nice. Detaching is a huge pain in the ass too. I now understand why he...

    Sterling 12.5mm WorkPro.

    I have a few small climbs on 170' of Kernmaster 12.6mm, I need to wash it and rough it up a bit. Don't like how slippy it feels in hand or how easy a hitch flys on it (8mm beeline 4 wraps, Knut H, with Hitch Hiker). Knots nice enough and grip is kinda neat in that it never turns into a cable and...

    Favorite Foot Ascender??

    I like the CT over the ISC ( I own the ISC ), I just started climbing on a Harken Industrial Ninja, aka Notch JetStep. GAME CHANGER, for me as someone that stands on my footie as a work position point as much I climb with it. I love how it goes on and can kick off, tends effortlessly in almost...

    Can a ring&ring sling be choked on a spar so you can use it as aerial-anchor?

    Tom Hoffmann - XRR Beast Rigging Whoopie This may give you some ideas. I have never heard of anyone using most of these configurations.
