    Ascending back up on a redirect

    munter / clove hitch redirect is what you’re describing? Excuse nomenclature if wrong. Herein lies the joys of our work - endless nuances. Well selected Redirects are good to go up or down in my book, but if you find yourself worried and really need to make it happen the above described would...

    Samson /Edelrid climbing and rigging ropes (NEW)

    Sad to read - bought more than a few things off this guy years back. He must be jonesin hard for something if he’s giving such a runaround for a few hundred bucks total.

    ISO - random stuff; getting back in

    Not sure - they have been unavailable for awhile. But there were a couple folks on the buzz from years back that swore by them who I would trust. Good bit of hard wood here also but I work on quite a few softer species where I don’t think the additional power would be missed. A couple pounds...

    Sticht Hitch

    I saw stuff long ago about the wear that happens on a certain spot. Climbers that do this sort of thing should be buying bulk hitch chord and replacing often anyway. I’ve experienced similar wear using regular hitches MRS. No disrespect to anyone and their designed devices but anyone who spoke...

    Sticht Hitch

    I cannot believe this discussion is still as ongoing as it is. The problem with the sticht is the endless variables and that’s why people hate on it. A pinto spacer below helps tending but will get disoriented eventually. Simple is best. I don’t climb much anymore and went back to other stuff...

    Farmstead Trees

    This is the Linden on my property - probably not too old, but a “well tended”(left to nature) and shapely tree. The farmstead is 105 years old but the tree was possibly planted between the 60’s and 80’s, two owners ago. I am reluctant to touch any of the trees here that I’ve put in this category...

    Farmstead Trees

    Roughly two years ago I moved from the city out to a 5 acre plot with a few trees that - from my my “city tree” mind - were absolutely epic. Old, allowed to thrive in an open / semi-wooded field with lots of sun, mostly untended. That got me thinking as I drove around - some of these old Burr...

    ISO - good company in the mid south / northeast?

    haven’t been on here in ages… any good companies looking for climbers/lift operators (probably no bucket) in above area? Family and I are leaving the Midwest. Climbed at another company for two years and ran my own for another three - left business due to some family issues. I love the industry...

    Tips on getting started with crane work

    Some solid advice here, thanks all. We are looking into contract climbers but have an opportunity to sub in with another local company on a massive crane job, both me and my brother on the ground. Not sure what to ask for on a rate. Anybody care to comment on what your rate might be for such a...

    Please allow me to introduce you to the McGovern Hitch...

    The overhand stopper to the back doesn’t add too much more friction in the way of a grabbing point believe it or not, with pulley or without. I like it because you have 100% control of adjustability. The pictured hitch was ever so slightly too slippery. Tightened the overhand by another...
