    Compact Bulldog Bone

    for mechanical advantage with the bone can we capture the tail of rope for a typical 3:1 or does it need to be treated like the rope runner and use a “scam” style MA?

    2 Sets of LIGHTLY used Bashlin Aluminum pole gaffs

    With gaffs I’d have no issue buying used, as long as there’s no obvious deformities, whether that was even eBay or marketplace or treebay here. Buckingham has a close out store on eBay they tend to fire sale alot of their basic gaffs as well. Otherwise wesspur sells their pair of bucks with pads...

    TCIA Tailgate Safety Manual.

    We have a weekly tailgate we have to log in to and read over, it covers any incidents across the contractors as well as a topic of the week whether hydration, heat stroke, bug bites, frost laws etc and any change in policy. It’s a required weekly sign off and most guys check it when checking...

    Reflex vs. Blackbird

    So there is some confusion when it comes to the “high” and “low” friction settings for the blackbird. If you’re using the “a” cam for ropes between 11.2-11.9 diameter you shall use the “high” friction setting. However if your rope is above 11.9 mm you have to use the B cam and you shall use the...

    More crud to fuel the existential dread…

    They are absolutely delicious, they like the bases of oaks I’ve noticed locally.

    San Jose aerial rescue

    Saw the footage on instagram floating around from a news station. I understand the dangers involved with palms but not being a west coast or palm area trimmer, is it common for these to be solo climbs or run crews with only one trained/qualified climber? Or is this like a landscaper who does...

    helmet with mesh visor

    The new mesh visors for the zeniths are absolute trash, the three piece design is held with tiny little clips that will explode from a helmet falling off the bins, the mesh itself is fine. Honestly if you’re not required for an E-rated I still find the Protos system (visor and muffs) to be the...

    Go to canopy anchor?

    Muggs demo tree really should be the tree of knowledge at this point. Going to give the soft 8 a go this week.

    ISC Nessie

    I can’t speak for all obviously but I’ve adapted my position to do most of the cutting out front or on the left side, if I need the right side I pass it around my back which is best practice regardless and helps keep me flexible but I do have a 37” reach so maybe that’s why I don’t find it...

    Rigging with karabiners

    I will no questions asked unless I’m chunking down spar, then it’s back to knots for me. I know notch tried their little knotless rig tool and I think hexarope has been pushing there own deal too but the wizard as previously mentioned holds up just fine.

    ISC Nessie

    I’m an oddball in that regard I’m right handed but stow my chainsaw on the left and lanyard on right, I’ve always preferred to catch my lanyard with my left hand for some reason.

    Go to canopy anchor?

    If I’m resetting my main tie in I’ll run a quickie or a basic ring jam. If I nailed my tie in out of the gate I typically run a Texas tug, with a ring or the quickie on the first butterfly and a pinto on the second which eliminates the issues with the pinto being used in the cinching manner. The...

    ISC Nessie

    I’ve been running the Nessie for almost 2 years consistently now, I absolutely love it, I only use 1 maybe 2 of the catches for the lanyard but often throw webbing slings, the pruner rope, my rig line, my tail of climbing line for house keeping, whatever else it’ll confidently hold (no saws...

    Looking to buy a west coast climber slap shot.

    Unfortunately west coast climber won’t ship the slap shot to the US, so if any of my neighbors to the barely north have one you’re looking to part with let me know! I know the notch big shot is available but we’ve been through 2 and I’m over it.

    Bird calls

    Funny enough when looking for mushrooms or on hikes we’ll mimic the two tone chickadee call if we get separated, I also whistle back at many birds when in the trees at work, groundies laugh but it’s the pretty fun seeing how long they’ll chirp back.
