ive got a locking shackle, pretty much a mix of quickie and quick link, works good BUT, without a pair of pliers to jam it shut it sketches me out, especially since any running rope has potential to loosen it
not saying it will just come undone, BUT, I personally dont like it, and that pin...
sorry for any confusion, but the guys im talking about arent climbers, they run a "Jarraff"
id expect better from climbers, as its very hard to control a 75ft fiberglass boom precisely
nope
BUT, I do understand electricity, dont grab the power wire, dont go near the power wire, and the neutral can still kill you
in general, just stay away from the wire, dont let your gear get anywhere near them, dont throw branches into them, and if possible have the power company wrap...
yup
ive got something similar, and I love it, but its a screw pin instead of a slic pin, and a pain to store on my saddle due to said pin, ive dropped the pin more times than I can count
and, ive tried using a biner choked off, it sketches me out, and I dont have enough lol
im going to put...
yeah, dont overlook this
line clearance guys (atleast where I live) dont care about your trees, no proper pruning cuts, bark tearout, saw cuts that dont go all the way thru (Jarraff boom bouncing into stuff in the tree)
I hate those guys
ive got similar stuff, I want the quickie for another big reason, I can store it on my saddle much easier, currently I have the shackle screwed to a gear loop, much more likely to drop the pin while messing with it in a tree
ive got a locking shackle that I use instead of a quickie, just a pain in the ass in a tree
im just looking to save 5 bucks, a quickie isnt that expensive new lol
ill probably just order one new
anyone got a notch quickie you would be willing to sell a little cheaper than new price? im about to make a gear order and im tryin to save a few bucks
listen to this man
think of a pendulum, if your above the tie in, gravity wants you to be under it, if your under it, well, your already under it and cant fall below
why the ring and carabiner? wouldnt a quickie thru the bowline or spliced eye be faster, cheaper, and less to go wrong?
p.s, if anyone has a quickie you would sell for cheap HMU
stay on top
and if you roll around to the bottom, the only way ive found to get back to the top side is struggle, then do some more struggling
DO NOT ROLL TO THE BOTTOM
the coup is under the shop, we have an area with about 6ft headroom that we built it into, wont get anything to grow
and, we have chicken wire burred about a foot down + cattle panel underground and about 2ft above ground + an electric fence
if anything gets in it deserve the meal
dont know if ive mentioned it, but ive got 9 chickens, lots of eggs, just put an electric fence around the coup because a racoon has been digging around trying to get in
