    Rope wrench for >$15

    My wife is on board with me doing a big trip next year so we are gonna make it happen! ...but I am unsure how hindered I am by the rads system. It is brutally slow climbing into the canopy but when I am taking photos and working around camp it is just so darn fast. @monkeylove and @gmcttr...

    Safety concerns for slacklining high in the canopy.

    I have a very good friend who is getting into the sport of slacklining and highlining. We were discussing how awesome it would be to walk on a high line that is suspended in the canopy between two trees. This requires tethers, clearance, etc but my main concern is the forces applied to the...

    Hammocks on sale

    I definitely agree that hanging between two trees is easier then hanging up in the canopy of one tree. What are your thoughts on the safety of this? I have been called out by guys online for doing this because it causes unsafe loading on the trees ( according to them).

    Rope wrench for >$15

    You sir are a genius :). Now I need to get an 8 mm rope. I was using Sterling HTP but I am currently using a rope that a friend let me borrow and I don't remember the brand. It was like half the price though so when he gets back into the United States I will ask him

    Hammocks on sale

    Thanks @CanadianStan, Of the two hammocks REI sells i would definitely go with the quarter dome since bridge hammocks have a shorter footprint and are much easier to find a space up in the canopy. I always had a tough time finding branches far enough apart to hang a traditional gathered end...

    Thank you so much for the photos! You are indeed quite crafty. Too bad it doesnt hold well on 9mm during SRT. I am beginning to think that a short piece of 11mm rope is in my future if I want to start using a ropewalking system.

    Rope wrench for >$15

    I would love to see some photos! Although I must admit that I have used drt less than 3 times. Apparently it is easier for me to use something I know then it is to learn some simple techniques that would make my life easier, haha. Setting the cambium Savers was always the thing that kept me from...

    Rope wrench for >$15

    Haha I know! And hitch cords would be so much easier to use. But finding a solution to my 9mm rope problem has become a battle that I need to win.

    I was thinking it isn't narrow enough! Either way I may have to get a bigger rope and see if this thing works as awesome as the specs make it look.

    Here's my dream set up, gear wise for Rec Tree Climbing...

    i suppose i have done this a lot too. I just hate having dead branches near my campsite lest I use one for a handle during a midnight canopy pee.

    Why professionals dislike RADS?

    I was so excited to offer up my reasoning for why I use RADS most of the time (100% rec climbing) but after reading through all the math and diagrams I feel like a 1st grader trying to explain why 1 plus 1 equals 2 to a Calculus teacher.

    Here's my dream set up, gear wise for Rec Tree Climbing...

    This thread is a goldmine! Not enough time on my lunchbreak to fully read it but I am surprised that a bunch of you guys dont bring a handsaw when rec climbing. I also dont bring one but I thought I was the oddman out.

    Overnight climb in the middle of nowhere...

    I appreciate the compliments. I have been working my butt off to get everything up and running so it is great to get positive feedback! That is a fantastic idea! I have played with different designs using a canister stove that hangs from the webbing on long mini chains. It worked well but...

    Rope wrench for >$15

    Keep posting your progress please :) . I am planning on making one to fit a 9mm rope and am searching for all the tips I can get. ...The first company to offer an ascender/descender that works in a ropewalking system on 9mm gets all my money.
