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

    Oh no, it's the other way around. They aren't paying for the time that you're not working. It's if they are paying a flat rate that they don't wanna see you stop moving

    Hiring in NJ- We Welcome Relocation Candidates!

    Hey boss, that sounds like a great company, but you should know that the most successful job listings around here tend to give some hard numbers regarding pay ranges. Transparency goes a long way.

    Unfortunately, what this comes down to is a discussion where both sides are saying this same thing at each other, and knows with certainty that their logic is solid, and the other is delusional, falling for a fabricated narrative devoid of any rational basis. Unfortunately, only one can be...

    Latest helmet comms

    That brings back memories of the constant radio intrusions on the Cardo units I last used. One guys radio would turn on for no reason, and then they would say, Hey Cardo, radio off." and that would make someone elses radio TURN ON! sometimes we would go in circles for several minutes.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    That's almost exactly what I say when I see ridiculous behaviour! I will say to whoever else is with me, "Some people's children :rolleyes:", and point discreetly. Obviously not when its something life threatening; just when it's strangers out and about and it would be innappropriate to call...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    That's the only safety issue that I have had to remind people about really regularly, and it freaks me out so much. I reeeeeaaally don't want to see someone go into a chipper, but guys are always forgetting about pockets, loops, and worst of all, chaps. I don't understand how so many people have...

    Rigging with karabiners

    Biggest I have rigged like that were 16'x24". I have cut plenty of 20-25' logs off, but only with room to flop'em. I have gotten pretty good at landing them flat without measuring though.

    Rigging with karabiners

    I have plenty of those. Sounds like I really should quit floppin'em, and make better use of the opportunity.

    Question on life support carabiners with auto locking bypass feature

    Except that the ORCA should behave reliably. and it returns to the auto lock mode after clipping it onto something properly. I still see a properly funtioning locker with a feature that makes it unsuitable for less experienced users

    Maintenance… daily or when needed?

    The deeper truth here. Real wisdom.

    Question on life support carabiners with auto locking bypass feature

    But if it can only be put into that mode by two separate and distinct movements, which is how I remember it, then it is exactly as safe as a standard locker. I can make a locker open up in a way that kind of simulates an accidental opening, but it requires pressure on the gate that would fully...

    Ice tail endless loop

    Oh. I guess I never considered that the brummel is only on one side. I figured it was bi-directional in the end to end, but I am gonna look at that next weekend when I hopefully have a minute.

    Question on life support carabiners with auto locking bypass feature

    I totally get that it's their slogan, but I have seen the same basic warning in the literature for all climbing gear, and further warnings on some products about not using without having recieved proper instruction in their use. I don't have handy the exact wording from the Z. Could I trouble...

    Ice tail endless loop

    I haven't actually done a tuck-bury to see how it feels, but I did produce a very usable product with a brummel for a friction saver on 1/2" stable braid. I have seen this exact type of product commercially available as well
