    Shorted on rope

    It was bagged and closed with a Samson label on it, so I assume that's how it came from the factory. I don't want to mention vendor because I used the rope before I noticed it was short, and did not bring it to the attention of the vendor. I did not have the rope stretched tight when I measured...

    Shorted on rope

    Has anyone else noticed this? I've bought different types of rope over the years. It never occurred to me to check the length. If I ordered 150 feet, I assumed that is what I got. But last November there was a sale on half inch samson stable braid, so I bought 200 feet. It arrived, no problem...

    Sold

    Maybe 20 or so climbs on it. Nothing wrong with it, I just want to try something else. I'd consider a hitchhiker and maybe some carabiners or something in trade. $200 shipped to lower 48. Still have box and owners manual. A few scratches from use.

    Ditto on the not replying to emails. TS used to be great about replying quickly. I've sent 2 emails in the last month or so, asking about a detail on an item, and in both cases I never got a reply. And there seems to be a problem with follow through. I bought a camp herbol cambium saver about...

    CCW while you climb?

    If you don't carry in the trees how do you keep the flying monkeys from attacking?

    Runs for a couple seconds

    Ok, I still haven't pressure checked the crankcase, but I was able to get it running roughly at idle. Won't rev up. What I'm noticing is that it is blowing smoke from under the clutch drum. A lot. Would it be safe to assume I have at least one blown seal? I will do a vacuum and pressure check...

    Runs for a couple seconds

    I just assumed it was running out of gas, but now that you mention it it might have been flooding. I didn't check plug to see if it was wet when it died.

    Runs for a couple seconds

    I acquired a stihl 026 that I'm trying to get back into service. I removed the carb and cleaned it and replaced the diaphragms, but left the old needle valve, Welch plug, and screen in place because they looked clean. I pressure checked the carb, and the needle valve is holding pressure ok. I...

    Transporter or shembiner

    I'm not familiar with the camp kilo. Did a search at tree stuff and bartlett, but they don't have it. What is it like?

    Transporter or shembiner

    Merle, I was vaguely are the transporter gate can lock, but was kind of wondering why. I had not thought of it being to avoid getting snagged, like colb points out.

    Transporter or shembiner

    I have a petzl caritool on my weaver cougar saddle. It's ok, but you can tell it's a little flimsy and eventually is going to break.. I'm thinking about getting a transporter or shembiner. Transporter looks nice and has the clip for more security, but shembiner is definitely cheaper, and I like...

    Well, after I stood up for arboristsite I'm now getting a message code 403 saying I am forbidden access to the site. I don't have a clue why.

    Brand/company Q's...Is Notch owned by Sherrill? What brands are worth/not-worth buying from?

    Thanks, peetle I was not aware of that. It would be interesting to see where all the notch products are manufactured. I assumed it was china.

    Brand/company Q's...Is Notch owned by Sherrill? What brands are worth/not-worth buying from?

    I think eyeheart has a good point about the price notch charges for their rings. Considering that they didn't develop the ring concept and they are probably subbing the manufacturing to some sweat shop in china, the cost to manufacture should be much lower to notch than it is for other...

    Treestuff's New Website

    I've just canceled a few orders because the site froze up when I would try to pay. Went to bartlett for some of the stuff. Canceled my last order because they had 20 percent off on biners. Total came to 40 dollars, so I looked for things I could use to get total to $100 fir free shipping. So I...

    Stihl sales

    I have a few stihl saws I've bought used and abused. I'm thinking of finally buying a new one. Is there a time of year or season when stihl typically has sales? I hate buying something and then have it go on sale a month or two later.

    arboristsite.com down

    Well, I've only been climbing and reading forums a little over a year, so I'm still getting familiar with the different sites. I just think it's hasty to brand everyone on a site negatively for what a few of the members might say in the heat of discussion. I've asked a few newb questions on as...
