The Wrangler Riggs Workwear Men's Ripstop Carpenter Jean with the ripstop material are pretty comfortable and last. At least for me. My current pair are 3 years old but, are ready to be replaced. Get them longer than what you wear.
I enjoy the rescues. I also study your techniques to help me with movement around a tree. I see the hook you use a RW but, the green rope just a prusik. So you have 3 systems working? No lanyard or is the green acting as it? In a work situation you would have a lanyard while wielding a saw? Craig
I was on a job the other day without my preferred Zing-it. I used a Weaver kit with 14oz bag and heavy throw line, cube. It worked great. I’m currently searching for it.
So….two ropes tied with a Zeppelin, Figure-8 Bend or something else? Isn’t the knot going to be troublesome? I get on a base tie at 90ft crotch with a 100ft rope and another on the backside. What’s the other usage or only base tie?

The forestry project I’m working is fun. I’m gaining a lot more experience with directing the falls and perfecting my technique. I’ve dropped countless trees on the property and it is a blast so I understand the draw!
I had a blast watching the events. It was enlightening and entertaining. They had 4 guys in the masters. Ryan Kessler won it. He is a very talented climber. I don’t do FB but, the list and photos are there.
I think 25 competitors for tomorrow. I was at the walk through this afternoon. The events look setup really good. Here’s the accent to 50ft and a photo under the work climb.
I have one and I use the 8AH batteries. It’s real handy around the house. I keep it in my shop at an arm’s length. I also use it for cutting dropped deadwood, fence boards and posts. Mine does leak oil sometimes. Keep the chain sharp and don’t lower the rakers too much.
