    Aluminum Ring canopy anchor

    Took me a minute to figure out MACA (mid-line attachable canopy anchor), haha Paul is fancy but that set up works great, with even less friction on retrieval. I just do something simple with steel like pictured, which also retrieves with a ball/cone. I just tend to bomb my Friction saver out...

    Aluminum Ring canopy anchor

    Because you are working with such tall conifers, using a set up like this but with a mid line attachable friction saver might save you some set up time. You can keep your base tie as your retrievable end and use a ddrt set up on tail of your rope to advance after initial long ascent. Oval delta...

    Aluminum Ring canopy anchor

    Yea I use the Fiblesaver doing the same. Steel thimbles make me feel good. So easy to retrieve.

    Thoughts on MA

    I haven't used the ropejack before. You pull decent sized back leaners over without the toothed cams trashing the rope?

    Be careful calling things 'easy as fuck'. Running a saw is not much harder in the tree. It's all about work positioning...either way, if you don't show that powersaw respect...It'll bite you. Running bowline is easy in your kitchen when your watching a youtube video. Picture a 97 degree day...

    Im new to the business, but never climbed before. Any advice?

    There is nothing like true experience in this occupation. There are so many unseen scenarios you may find yourself in that can be dangerous to people and property. Trying to run a business (paperwork, estimates, maintenance, back end work) while also trying to learn the work from scratch is...

    Grooming a Climber

    Last year I bit the bullet and bought those Sena communication devices. As a contract climber, Communication with your rotating rope guy/gal is a breeze....but another thing I soon realized is that it created an amazing learning opportunity. One guy in particular is kind of new and doing well...

    Grooming a Climber

    There are also lots of tree guys who do this full time that really aren't very good at all. I know plenty (yet they are still honest, good people) It all depends on your mindset and intention. Depends if you really desire to flourish or only looking to take home the check. There is a...

    Figure 8 as top anchor when rescuing a climber

    Yeah I think it would just be a neater set up at your bridge. Rescues can be messy enough as it is.

    Bolt on Gaff Ascender

    Hi my friend : ) Powerscender No longer available in a production version through treestuff, at the moment. I have none in stock to sell directly either. I can still make them the old way by dismantling a CT quick step for people, on occasion. But as you mentioned arboristsite.com or...
