    Left over Amsteel...What to do, what to do?

    Pulled 60' of 3/8 amsteel off winch that saw virtually no use. Except for some fuzzing on the end it is otherwise in great shape. Question is, what can I use it for? I don't want to toss it but can't figure out what to do with it. In fact, it has been sitting in a box for 4 years! Anyhow...

    Canopy Anchor Hardware and Tecniques

    Chris and I found ourselves setting up one of the trees for Geezers and I was using his Coats-tail method. He was jazzed seeing me use it and helped me work some details out with it. Love using it. Looking forward to getting my climbers to do the same.

    Canopy Anchor Hardware and Tecniques

    Currently access followed by DdRT (MRT) is what I'm doing but I frequently use SRT during the climb. So, I sort of switch back and forth a lot.

    Speed lining: Back stays, fixed or floating?

    Been looking at ways to back tie our speed line spar and am weighing a couple of configurations. One is to fix the slack line and back stays to the main spar and the other is to hang a block, run the slackline through the block and then anchor the end as a back stay. The former is basic...

    Hi Dave, I did look through that thread and saw some good setups but didn't really understand the whys and benefit analysis.

    Canopy Anchor Hardware and Tecniques

    To narrow the question down: For a basic, cinched canopy anchor without regards to retrieval, redirect or moving around: why use hardware at all? What are the benes and downfalls? What are some of the ways hardware is used?

    Canopy Anchor Hardware and Tecniques

    I've just been using a running bowline/alpine Butterfly/Figure 8 to create my cinch loop and run it up but I've also seen folks using various bits of hardware for their cinching such as deltas, pulleys and rings. I have also seen some set ups where the anchor isn't cinched tight around the limb...

    When did you first hear?

    I saw a prototype RW made from wood at the NATCC in Savannah 5 or 6 years ago. That was the first time I saw/heard of that particular style of SRT working in the tree. SRT Access, though, was something I had done with the triple prussic system when I was a kid back in the 70's. Not for...

    SOLD: Bullseye Throw Line

    Bought a spool of the Bullseye and put it into a cube for one of our students and I don't think they ever used it, though I did use it a couple of times when my cubes weren't handy. Anyhow, I have 5 throw lines of my own, the student is long gone and I don't need this line. Send me a PM with...
