    Do you ever have the occasional customer service experience like this?

    By the hour with a half-day minimum is another option. 5, 6, 7 hours is fine for me. Virtually every job is close to the shop 5-10 minutes. The next job is often 5-10 minutes from the first. Ten percent of my jobs are 15 minutes or more of a drive.

    Be honest....

    Looking for quality, trainable, experienced staff or quality, experienced staff not needing training. Newer climbers would definitely not be sent up a tree like this, with or without a remote TIP. This seems to be the realm of experienced climbers that make $40+/ hr (aerial rescue and SRT/...

    helmet with mesh visor

    I have a brand new Protos that I may sell. I wore another Protos for a week. Didn't care for the muff fit with my big ears. Miriam wears it now and I've got her Petzl, for now.

    I think it's a matter of paying the dealer or plumbing it yourself. The dealer will mark up your parts. That is the OEM.

    I wouldn't want to work by the hour for such people, either. Last week, my client asked me to walk with him to see some trees along the trail system we cleared. He said there are some madronas that he'd like to see more while hiking. I said it's no problem. I noticed a thick fir that could be...

    I've Heard better things from experienced people about WGs. Idk. They are easy to use. I did triangle in a cherry most recently (2 years ago) with WGs. Used RGs, too. Good. I can't say one way or the other.

    Question on life support carabiners with auto locking bypass feature

    Same. I like the 5/8" steel for grip. I'm thinking about a 3/4" rope lanyard. Heavy, but a good fit for my hands at my weight.
