    Trees and Climate Change

    hotter wildfires make me think of another unintended risk of invasive species, specifically altered makeup of canopy responding differently to fire regimes. i read this article a few years ago about blue gum eucalyptus in the bay area: Twenty-five years after the Oakland Hills fire, people...

    Denali summited?

    its cool that gear designs inspired by the shortfalls (or er, longer falls) experienced during that time period are with us today, like the classic vibram mountaineering sole. turn over a workboot and odds are good youll see it or a sole designed to look just like it

    another tip i learned from watching that is you get the really cool shots by having the cameraman stand within five paces of the drop zone

    Trees and Climate Change

    a few years ago a friend of mine contracted a forester to do a survey of a relative's property for a conservation/stewardship tax scheme, and i spoke with him a few times. he had some very radical notions about urban forestry. for context, we live in hamilton ontario which for much of the 20th...

    i did some experimenting and altered my formula for this season. bought acidulants and stevia so the mix is complete and i dont need to bother adding anything else. been making this in bulk and bringing it in a big freezer ziploc bag for my coworkers and summer students the past few weeks. pink...

    Rope Breakage Research

    yeah, as the woman notes it is intended for use securing a static load and not intended for dynamic loads like fall arrest. in the video they show a clip of a mountaineer falling on a rope into a crevasse, but the environment there acts as an energy damper as we see the rope cut into the packed...

    Cracked Ladder

    we've been using these at the gardens the last couple years, they're great. started with the basic 12ft tripod in 2017?2018? added a 12ft platform in 2022. confidence-inspiring stability when properly set up

    “Rope Only” Canopy Anchor??

    i love the bowline finishes developed for life safety in the mountaineering/rock climbing communities. scott's locked bowline and end bound single bowline. scott's locked is the easiest and ugliest, EBSB is pretty

    New Saddle Shopping

    idk if the treemotion will be snowed under that easily, its still half the price compared to the kinisi. i expect their market share and positive regard will probably continue unless they pull a boeing and their hardware suddenly starts failing. that doesnt seem particularly likely to me but...
