    Chinese ms200?

    Man. It has been so bad. I'm never buying another moronic electronic carb.

    I was guessing and having fun.

    Looking for a new climbing harness - 75% spur removals on doug firs, but also SRT, etc

    Probably not. It's the only one I know about, though. I guess anything that rams your hitch to the ground could count as that. It sure didn't grab.

    Company Hiring in Boise, Idaho

    Like someone who should be running a tree service but has an aversion to having their name on a truck? At least the wages are in the right realm. I just wanted to ask a few dumb questions.

    What is the rest of his experience? 6 months is not anywhere near long enough to be in an authority position on a tree job, even from a sales position.

    Chinese ms200?

    That's not how it works. Manufacturers in china basically make what they want, right? Didn't stihl start making some saws in china several years ago? There was a holzfforma 660 knockoff that used to only be a parts kit for less than $200 that is now available as a pre assembled saw. I was...

    Looking for a new climbing harness - 75% spur removals on doug firs, but also SRT, etc

    He failed it. TIP was in a tree behind him while he blocked down a log. His flipline was too close to the top, one got locked off and jarred it off the top of the spar. Since his tie in was behind him, the wrench was collapsed against his side. He dropped and the collapsed wrench slid the hitch...

    One of my mentors fell on one of those bridges. I think he had it for about a year before it gave out. He also fell on a Zk1 that he wasn't paying enough attention to. Tough old bastard still climbs trees. (And loves technora everywhere but on his bridge)

    Looking for a new climbing harness - 75% spur removals on doug firs, but also SRT, etc

    The cougar was my first harness. They renamed it like 5 years ago as damage control when the early technora bridges started dropping people. It's made by a company owned by assholes that don't want our industry to innovate, even if they don't have a legal leg to stand on. Also it is very...

    It cut 10 feet out of it?!

    I have flown an ergolite, and it is a very comfy saddle on spurs. It's a little bulky for running through a canopy, but I still prefer it to the sequoia. The velcro waist hugging thing is strange, but it makes it easy to get your shirt to stay under it. I'll probably end up with a MB one of...

    Tips/articles/advice for doing 2-rope SRT? (ie having a second anchor/rope setup)

    I'll play horse all day.

    Tips/articles/advice for doing 2-rope SRT? (ie having a second anchor/rope setup)

    Multiple lines are much more of a hindrance when the anchors are separate. You operate them basically the same as one (system when they are) from close anchors and alternate them through redirects, or use the one that doesn't get redirected to easily remove redirects that don't have an easy way...

    Isc triple action snap failure to close.

    There's a rant and rave thread about it. I ultimately am not too upset at CT, but I'm getting something much more bomber if I ever get a double again... it's still a dumb design. Even good companies can have them.

    Isc triple action snap failure to close.

    ISC is not that kind of company. The scale is pretty small and the customer base is important to them. One death that is directly caused by an ISC product could potentially wipe them out (in the US at least) because of the way that social media spreads information. I've met @rich_h and heard...

    "Pendulum swinging" something by tip-tying a fixed-line of bull-rope? (instead-of a Vert.Speedline)

    If a eucalyptus is as similar to climbing a giant crapemyrtle as it looks like it is, then it falls squarely into the category of things that are not made to climb without spurs.

    Isc triple action snap failure to close.

    It's shocking that people want to use the ridiculous triple action snaps at all. Carabiners go everywhere for me, but double action snaps are bomber and I understand why some people would prefer them.

    CCW while you climb?

    Statistics don't favor taking legal firearms away from mentally stable, law abiding citizens. I'm sorry that I don't have a pretty chart from a slightly fresher year. @evo it is far less racial and much more cultural. There are racial correlations to violent crime, but that does not meant that...
