    Let's talk lanyards

    I posted a video about lanyard use after some discussions at a climbing competition. (Legion of the Geezers) Just some things to consider when choosing a lanyard for use in TREE climbing.

    Not yet determined. Probably safe to say a month but it is more about quantity than time.

    BUYERS BEWARE!!!

    It is such a pain for business! I got taken for 1500.00 on a patent renewal, it looked so official, had all the details etc. It is part of everything we do now day.

    Worn Uni

    I am looking for a very worn but unmodified or damaged Unicender, one that will undoubtably creep/slide on a 7/16 inch rope. Willing to trade a brand new SAKA. In fact I'll just use it for a while for some testing and be happy to return it.

    The importance of the circle check

    Good MO! Reminds me of a policy I used to tell my kids all the time, don't put anything on top of the vehicle, bumber etc., ever, that you don't mind losing.

    The importance of the circle check

    I got distracted by a customer hooking up a goose neck dump trailer, when I finish the distraction and return to drive the Bobcat on to the dump trailer, it lifted and rolled into my toolbox and truck bed. Who has not had an incident pulling a trailer? Thank you for the post because it is...

    When does a foot ascender or knee ascender become self-tending?

    So true and I'm not even sure why that bothers me so much. It's well meaning and doesn't really impead my progress but...

    Just sharing the buzz....

    Nice to see you. Most will never understand that joy.

    When does a foot ascender or knee ascender become self-tending?

    ...and please, feet straight up and down the fall of the rope, side by side like pistons providing only propulsion and NO balancing. Leave the bicycle and balancing movements on the ground.

    When does a foot ascender or knee ascender become self-tending?

    To the point, in this video everything connects below my multisender, I can't do that with a floating knee ascender that has bungee for rebound above the ascender.

    When does a foot ascender or knee ascender become self-tending?

    Let me add a couple of comments as I've spent a considerable amount of time with rope walking, have 2 issued patents and came up with and trademarked the term Self Avancing Knee Ascender. Of course an ascender does not actually advance by itself, that would be like saying a self running tennis...

    Which Knee Ascender in 2022?

    Thank you! It already has greatly enriched my life in very meaningful ways, in friendships and participation in what I and others love. I'm just sensitive to how hard so many have to work, to pay for the things that they need to work with. I know I'm not alone in that nor in the contributions...

    When does a foot ascender or knee ascender become self-tending?

    Note in this video, tending from the first step, it's mostly technique. This ascent is on a Uni but I have the same result with my normal HHxf.

    When does a foot ascender or knee ascender become self-tending?

    Exactly, should never be an issue with the knee ascender, it is working on a tensioned line. Like having more than 100 pounds of throw weights tied to your rope.

    Which Knee Ascender in 2022?

    So about 7 years of having a good time developing climbing concepts and starting a business that was never intentional, getting 2 patents issued and related expenses and insurance, buying breaktesting equipment and sewing machines and other related equipment, being able to sponsor some events...

    Another advantage to the hitch based HHxf, it doesn't get all "bent out of shape" when it gets close and personal to the tree.
