    Munter hitch for lowering limbs

    Yes. "No holds barred." Applies more friction than a figure 8. Good in a pinch. Especially in-tree rigging. Regarding rope-on-rope friction... use appropriate ropes. Ex: 3 strand, 12 strand, 16 strand.

    Staying organized around the saddle...

    All your lines should be different colors. Exercise your brain. Carry less stuff. To paraphrase Coco Chanel, "Before you leave the ground, take one thing off your harness."

    large split in Maple, is it appropriate for support?

    As far as I know, all manufacturers of synthetic support systems (Cobra, etc) say they are NOT appropriate for inclusions. So they are really only appropriate for unions that probably don't need supplemental support.

    Sanitizing Pruning Tools

    You're not realistically going to carry buckets of disinfectants in a work truck are you? If you're talking about "between trees" its likely an aerosol or nothing.

    Yale Scandre knots

    Scandere is my favorite lanyard material. Its knotability sucks. I don't care about "bouncy." Its just a f-ing rope... go climb the tree.

    Looking for the ideal rope.

    I vote for Yale XTC 16 strand as the "ideal" rope.

    large split in Maple, is it appropriate for support?

    For an active split inclusion like that steel is the only ANSI acceptable option. Best practice would involve a through bolt for every 18-24" of split through the stem. Plus probably multiple cables above. Best practice would also call for reduction. $ound$ expen$ive. All that for a Norway...

    Bend radius for rigging

    Most of the ropes people are using are so overbuilt that they can get away with ignoring "best practice" guidelines. There might be some truth in the posts above, but who's going to sift through all that? Personally, I'm comfortable bending most ropes rigging ropes 180 degrees over a good sized...

    Only the item you see is what I have. If those were part of the package, I'm happy to adjust the price accordingly. I'm not sure of the build date.

    New Tribe Treeboat **SOLD**

    This Treeboat is in good condition with just a little fraying at the edges of the canvas. Apparently, New Tribe isn't making them at this time, but from what I can find online they were going for $300 new. Asking $200 + shipping OBO.

    Legends 2022

    The only reason I came to compete was to win and get my name on The Cup with industry greats like Bruce Smith, Rich Hattier, etc. I didn't miss not getting a trophy, but that tradition was VERY important to me. I'd be fine with the "one and done" idea... otherwise I'll just keep trying to come...

    And its a bottleneck with all the competitors waiting around for one event. Do it during the day with all the other events and cut out the Delayed Speed Climb.
