    arboristsite.com down

    Hmmm...I view the arboristsite a few times a week. Yes, it's got a different atmosphere, but I haven't noticed any racist behavior. 2A wingnuts? I don't think I remember reading anything about guns. Shooting others?? Sorry, rico, but seems like maybe you are the one who is intolerant of anyone...

    Looking into New Rope?

    I've got to throw a shout out for samson half inch arbormaster. It is indestructible. I use it mostly dr t, and don't use a cambium saver. Mostly on sweet gum and pine, which are not smooth barks. Nice and thick feel in the hands. I know it's not as popular as 11,7, but I love it. Gives me...

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

    Not to beat a dead horse, but one thing that bugs me about notch is their seeming lack of "contribution to the profession". There's probably a better word for it, but I mean what is it they contribute to the profession in which they sell their goods. The latest example I've noticed is with...

    what is model of rope is better to use with zigzag and chicane?

    I just purchased my first zig zag a few weeks ago. I climb on samson 16 strand half inch arbormaster and the zz works magnificently for dr t. I haven't tried it Sr t yet. Before zz I used a hitch climber and thought it was great, but the zz is a whole nother level.

    $25 winter climbing pants

    How do they compare to dickies? Better or worse. That's what I wear when it's cool because the material is a little thicker.

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

    To me notch is kind of like craftsman tools. Sears didn't manufacture the craftsman tools, but they had people who provided quality oversight to ensure that certain quality standards were met before the craftsman brand was put on it. I'm kind of relying on notch to provide that kind of a...

    Knife in tree

    Yeah, I thought it might have been discussed before. I tried searching knife, but didn't see anything relevant in the first half dozen or so posts. Should have searched more, i guess.

    Knife in tree

    Do you carry a knife in the tree? What kind, and how do you carry it? I carry a little swiss army knife in my pants pocket, but its not readily accessible. What have you used a knife for, if you carry?

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

    I'm not a commercial tree guy. I climb recreationally and like to do pruning and easy limb removals. So take my comments for what they're worth. Tree stuff is my usual source for supply. I think they have become the leader in professional service to the industry. I just watched a video they...

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

    What dumpy said. I've bought some of the nameless Chinese stuff from eBay and Ali baba. Sometimes it was ok, sometimes garbage. Notch may be made in China, but they seem to exercise a level of quality control. I haven't had any problems with my notch products, carabiners and micro pulleys.

    Rope runner flattens rope

    I'm about 225. That might affect how much the runner is flattening the line. A lighter climber wouldn't cause as much of a clamping effect.

    Rope runner flattens rope

    I've been trying to get into srt for a few weeks. I'm using a rope runner and 11mm edelrid static line. After a few uses I'm noticing the edelrid is getting permanently flattened. So I tried it on half inch Samson arbormaster and noticed the same thing, but not as pronounced as with the edelrid...

    Double top white pine visit

    Thanks for the vid. I'd be interested in seeing how you rig up your two climbing lines and how you connect them to your saddle if you ever felt like filming that.
