    Today....

    Maybe I already mentioned this but check out the video Climbing Arborist did on YouTube about the ISC triple snap failing open. It happened to me a few times and I just haven't trusted mine since

    Foot shaped boots (Non-Barefoot)

    I think I've mentioned in other threads, I broke a toe a few years ago, and all the hiking boots I used to love are torture to wear. I've gone to foot shaped sneakers like Altra brand stuff, not a huge fan of barefoot stuff cause I still want some cushion Has anyone found good foot shaped...

    Echo 2500T long term review

    As someone who gets frustrated easily matching part numbers, is there any north American supplier that is doing the 2500 1/4" conversion kit all in one place?

    PCW4000 - Portable Winch with clutch

    Lubrication Conversation

    My old VW TDIs get low 40son bio and around 45-50 on dino. That prob translates to 8 instead of 9mpg in the 7.3 although we didn't measure carefully. Updates in the spring hopefully

    2nd 12 strand tenex splice

    Looks sweet! The long tail after the last pocket would bug me but that's my only thought, no splice critiques
