    Suspender choice

    Honestly I don't use SRT that much. When I do its mostly for initial access. I just cross my flipline across my back and over my shoulder and hook it into my hitchclimber pulley.

    Suspender choice

    I use the small 1/4" delta links (triangle shaped) to attach it to my harness.

    Suspender choice

    Ive been running the camp suspenders. Typically only put them on when im doing removals and going to have a larger saw in the tree for a while. My saddle is a new tribe onyx though not a treemotion

    Treestuff bogus product ratings

    The good old school Treestuff went out the window when SherrilTree bought them out. Can't blame Luke for wanting to free up time to live his life. The people might not of changed but the company did. I use to get orders from them in 2-3 days. I made a few orders with them since then and...

    Knee ascender - difficulty with staying upright

    I weigh in at over 300lbs with gear on. While I can go up the line easily now, two things helped me out when starting out. Neither one really requires any extra gear. Both are methods that I used when I first starting. 1. You can take your flipline and run it across your back, over your...

    Spurs pads adjustments. Should there be any pain?

    Do your buck wraps have the metal insert or not. When I had buck wraps I had the metal insert and loved them. Three fingers below the bottom of my knee cap was the sweet spot for me personally. Boots were Hoffman Poleclimbers

    People expecting grinding a stump means remove it too

    I dont even offer stumps for this reason. I simply explain that it isn't a service that I offer but I have a short list of recommendations for them to contact.

    Tree Austria Shoulder Harness

    I got mine in yesterday, also havent used it yet. Initial thoughts are that the small oval links are going to be replaced with triangle links right out of the gate. otherwise looks pretty decent.

    Tree Austria Shoulder Harness

    I have a newtribe onyx and didn't particularly like the sling style shoulder strap that they offered. I looked at the same harness that youre talking about and also didnt care for the price. Was cruising the web and seen that Wesspur had a new SRT harness that CAMP makes for half the price...

    Triple Braid?

    Im with SeanRuel on this one. Sounds like some sort of tachyon braid. Strands that are put at the inner most part to help prevent flattening. I always just remove it out of the way of my splice. Never had an issue.

    Climbing boots for spikes/removal and trimming.

    I have Hoffman 10" Powerlines that I wear when the hooks are on. Otherwise I really like Danner Vicious boots for trimming and ground work. They make an 8 inch and a 4.5inch

    [knotless rigging] 'Ultrasling' lanyards "instead of" half-hitch & bolan for routine rigging?

    I do it the same way as boomslang from the sounds of it. I just take some runners up with me and have the line and carabiner pulled back up to me

    For the Arborists- Storm damage question

    Cedar Rapids is pretty tore up. Ive been pretty busy myself when I have free time set aside from my normal job. Personal opinion is to make a good nice cut with a clean saw on the branch just enough to remove any of the rip or damage to the remaining partial branch. It will prolong heartwood...

    Setting lines with a slingshot?!???

    Not everyone likes change, you'll have to ignore those guys getting irritated. Send them to the next tree or something. If you can practice and get good with a throwball its basically as quick as hooking because you have your tie in point before. The utility I use to work at was the same way...

    Stump Grinding Business

    A-1 Precision Sharpening is the best place in the are for sharpening teeth that I know of. When I worked with asplundh they did our chipper knives, hand saws, and anything else we needed sharpened.
