    Chainsaw lanyard: yea or nay?

    I've never been in an accident, at fault or otherwise because I pay attention and am a defensive driver. And I've done a hell of a lot of fucking around in a car, to say I only drive "normal" would be false, I drive an AWD sports car (STi), I drive far from what most people would consider normal...

    Chainsaw lanyard: yea or nay?

    I use one. I'm not gonna drop my saw in normal use but it's nice for those times when it gets pinched to be able to use both hands to weight the piece differently so it releases (choke lanyard onto tree with little slack so it doesn't fall far) and it's also great when multiple climbers are...

    What's in your First Aid kit?

    On my saddle I carry 3 different items for different levels of leaking. For major arterial bleeding I carry a CAT TQ, for less serious cuts I have the blood stopper powder packs and for minor cuts and light bleeding I have visene eye drops, that stuff stops [light] bleeding better then the...

    I trust my gear, it’s the wood I worry about....

    Just to clarify on my story, I was on a basil anchor and had that 1" stick broke the 3-4" limb I aimed for would have caught me after a foot of drop. Again not condoning this practice, it's not at all what I was going for, but incidence like this have boosted my confidence in general.

    I trust my gear, it’s the wood I worry about....

    Do you do an overall tree / site inspection before you climb? The more you climb the more you'll trust your gut. I remember one time I sent a throw line over the tippy top of a broke out sycamore, from the ground it looked like I had caught a 3-4" limb (which technically I did) however it didn't...

    Starter kill switch-Anti-theft scheme

    If you go the starter kill route you don't need an on-off "latching" switch that you have to remember to flip off each time, you can just use a momentary push button. Hold down while starting and that's that. The starter wire can be disconnected and the engine keeps running. Thinking more, the...

    TCC movie from New Zealand

    This dropped on US Amazon prime last week (I'm sure there were other ways to view it here before but I barely watch TV to begin with and don't pirate at all). Not my genra of movie and there was very little climbing related parts of the plot but there was just enough equipment for me to...

    Work Photos

    Some pics from a job we did for the Montgomery County Land Bank a few weeks ago. They sent out a photographer and I was able to get in contact with her and get some of her photos. This was my first ever crane job and that morning before lunch was my first time ever riding the crane to set a few...

    Samson Hyperclimb is Yale Blue moon is Poison Ivy?

    I hate to say it cause I like Samson and I like the different vendors that sell it (wesspur and arbsession) but Hyperclimb is terrible! It's performance is not bad elongation wise and it runs great in mechanicals but it's gotta be the least hardy rope I've ever used. I have a 6 month old hank...

    Kask visors

    I don't like them, the only time I flip mine down is if I'm running the chipper or making a cut directly over my head with the sawdust discharging straight down. Other then that I just trust my safety squints will be enough *that last bits a joke, I ALWAYS wear Z87 glasses, even when I am using...

    Does anyone wear their arbpro evo's in the winter?

    A few guys at my work are wearing the Arbpros through winter, even right now with 8" of snow on the ground. I really prefer mountaineering boots, I'm wearing Salewa MTN lite (mid height) which are waterproofed by a gortex inner layer. Best boots I've ever wore. I pulled my muck boots out a...

    Moving in the canopy with near vertical limbs

    They're a saddle hunting accessory. Stap them into a tree and you have instant ladder rungs up it. They're also dangerous as shit, bunches of people gash themselves open on the rungs every year. Not something I'd even consider in real tree climbing (work or rec)

    best climbing boots?

    I climb in Salewa Mtn lite mids. I'm not typically on spikes more than 4h a day but I have absolutely no complaints and for spikeless they're the best boot I've ever wore.

    4 DIY Port-A-Wraps

    Wow everyone's really jumping on the guy for trying to innovate and have fun? Not like he's trying to make a new product to sell, he's experimenting and learning and sharing. Now if he were to be out to patent one of these to make money then yes I'd agree wholeheartedly that's wrong (and on...

    Hitch hiker/2/x thread

    Didn't know the story behind it, figured it was a special run, who was the vendor when it was made?

    Is that Yale confetti? Where on earth did you score it?! I've looked and looked and looked.

    Tips and Tricks

    Not really a "tip and trick", more of a "tool you didn't know you needed" but feel it's worth mentioning here; if you're not carying a 5" Knipex plier-wrench (the smallest size) you're really doing yourself a disservice. Because of how the Jaws move parallel they're not like any other pliers out...
