    Crab device

    Eric’s helicopter idea was (still is) light years ahead of industry standards. It’s kinda easy to run any two devices side by side, in a mediocre way, but man, since seeing Eric’s configuration back in 2015 I have been itching for a device that can really function side by side and retain...

    Effects of vertical-speedlines on the orientation of a large top's landing?

    Hello mate, sorry, can't quite follow your words but just wanted to say a couple of things out of my own experience of using VSL's. They are great, in fact, they are bloody fun and go a long way to helping efficiency when working on embankments and in tight quarters. That said, there is a...

    SRT device poll

    ....and control mode too, what a great thing that is. Two Uni's, controlled with one hand. And the touch is so light that I can move between opposing anchors simply by manipulating tension in my fist.

    It saddens me (SADDENS ME) to see not one mention of the Unicender. TREEBUZZ is the foundation of SRS climbing, Tom Dunlap started it all with his adventures into the aluminum world of the Unicender. I tagged along on Tom's coat tails for a few years, until the ZK1 was released, then a steady...

    most ergonomic handsaw location?

    I seem to have settled into a simple and routine harness set-up. BUT, a few years back I had a thing about keeping stuff up high, away from my legs, and rigged my handsaw horizontally across the back of my harness. Drawing out the blade made me feel like a Samurai (or Ninja or smthng!). Its...

    Anyone else give-up on routine "friction-saver" usage?

    I'm right with you on this one. Helps the tree, helps the rope, makes things generally smoother.

    mapping movement within a tree

    Hi, Great question, appreciate the sensitivity of it. Branch network (morphology) is complex, plus the on-going timeline of decay and other factors that can weaken a tree, not countless but much to consider. It is difficult to give advice. That said. I tend to always approach climbing design...

    A ‘love letter’ to nature

    The meaning is simple, the circle is Zero (Maru) and the line One (Ichi), which is the company name. MARUICHI. It is common to have company names beginning with MARU. And you are correct, the coat is called a Hanten, dyed with Indigo.

    A ‘love letter’ to nature

    Thank you for the kind words. The forest segment was a Beech woodland. We had arranged to do it before the fall colours but a typhoon blew through and we all had to go out to do emergency work on the train lines, thankful for that delay though, the color was incredible. Production crew is...

    Hi Gordon, long time no speak, hope that you are well. The song gives thanks to where we are, it is also used as a working song, was used. the place is interesting, not a cemetery, nor any religion attached, simply a shrine to stones. Japan is awesome.
