    Super Quick 3:1

    If you click on page 3 of this thread there is another video on this combo, and if you need exact info @SingleJack is your man. Also I have seen this variation too: http://www.treebuzz.com/forum/threads/rads-mod.14318/

    SRT DRT DmRT vs. MRS SRS What do we call it?

    I totally understand your point. And I agree with you. I just was clarifying what I thought I heard in the video when he mentioned "the bungee having nothing to do with...." [The load bearing member.] not [how the SAKA works.] I agree I believe the bungee never bears the load in any of the...

    SRT DRT DmRT vs. MRS SRS What do we call it?

    I am getting the feeling that there is a lot more context that is missing from this presentation. I understand it to be an explanation of how the SAKA is fundamentally different from the Haas and therefore not an infringement. I'm guessing if we knew the whole story it would be much more...

    SRT DRT DmRT vs. MRS SRS What do we call it?

    Yeah, they’ve been taking a hole lot of crap from people so they better cover their ASS or people will be in deep shit!

    SRT DRT DmRT vs. MRS SRS What do we call it?

    I like your video and your reasoning. I have seen *DRT* on a CEU quiz and was unsure if they meant 'Doubled Rope Technique' (DdRT) or Two separate systems as with Double Rope Technique. The way the question was asked, my answer depended on which technique they meant. If we are going to use...

    DMM throw hook.

    I have the same feeling about using the hook on the end of my primary line. I use the hook often, as I have it on the other end of my lanyard. Seems to work well for me. I don't know if I have shared this already on this thread, but I tailored my harness video to show more of the hook and added...

    New here. come to say Hi!

    TreeBuzz is awesome. I hope you enjoy it here! I also work on a two-man crew. How long have you been working with the same duo? I find that you can really get a fluid work rhythm knowing exactly what the other is doing. Nice to have you here.

    rope runner

    The Springfire has a spring in it that does the push action for you, the Slider has the push rod that you have to manually push for the action. They both work on the Rope Wrench and the Rope Runner, however the spring has to be compressed further with the longer pins on the Rope Runner and...

    ISA Certified Arborist sample test questions

    I think they are just trying to establish that you need to be able to tell the responders before they head off if there is an electrical hazard. They get moving pretty fast and might not want to take the time to walk you through a visual assessment of the site. But I think it is like those...

    Work Photos

    That is one of the more exhausting jobs, but sure is fun. In fact, I bet you have trouble sleeping on account of the excitement and anticipation of all the fun you get to have day in and day out. Hope all goes smoothly as you get accustomed to having another boomslang around the house. Well done!

    Um...Steve, I think that's just the time of day. ...I hope.

    SHERRILLtree and TreeStuff.com announce Fallen Families Fund

    Very true! I think what you are getting at is the key. I just thought that this fund was a step in that direction and generous for them to spend their time doing. I see what you are saying that this sort of fund would almost allow individuals to almost take more risks with their safety...

    SHERRILLtree and TreeStuff.com announce Fallen Families Fund

    You’ve got a lot of good points in there. Although I see it a little differently. They have set up another avenue for funds to be available for those hurting. This is something they are doing and donating their time and money to provide. Now of course 6k is hardly anything when it comes to...

    New Tribe Onyx Saddle, Carabiners, Rope, SAKA, and more - Lot

    But honestly I wish I had the money set aside for all of that. Problem is although there is a lot there I could use, there is a lot that I wouldn’t. So it kind of evens out.

    New Tribe Onyx Saddle, Carabiners, Rope, SAKA, and more - Lot

    That is a great deal! Especially considering there are at least 4 of everything there. ;)

    All of sudden scared

    Thanks, that's a great post from you. Not just because you complimented me, but it is obvious that you understand the circumstances well enough to really delve into the nuances of climbing on a daily basis. You took what I was trying to say in my post and really finished it off strong. This...
