    Left over Amsteel...What to do, what to do?

    Make yourself some slings. I use these on light loads instead of natural crotching. Rope runs through the biner or an ISC Mini Rigging Block. http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?item=14576 Quick, light and fast. Easy to hang off your saddle. They can also substitute for loop runner when...

    Who (or who's dad) remembers this bad boy?

    I started doing trees on a small scale when I worked for a landscaping company back in 1984. The foreman was afraid of heights and asked me if I could do tree work. I said I'd give it a try and he tossed me the company's harness and spurs and it started from there. All we had was an old Homelite...

    Treemotion vs Ergovation: convince me!

    Sorry Chris, Yes autocorrect is at fault. Did not recognize your new signature. Hey, BTW, congrats on winning the speed climb at the TCIA Expo. I went down to Goderich for that storm with my other gig, not tree work. I have to agree it was a mess. Unfortunate for such a "pretty" town go through...

    Aerial rescue practice

    Jesse, you're missing a bit of an Acrtic blast this weekend. Minus 30-35 degrees C. (-22F to -31F for our American friends). Supposed to get back to seasonal temps this week. If I were you I'd stay a little longer......... Say 2 months ;). By then you won't need to worry about moving any snow.

    DMM throw hook.

    Shipping and duty are not the issue. Our dollar has dropped in value against the US dollar. Mainly to to the worldwide drop in oil prices. As of today it cost us approx. $140 Canadian to purchase a $100 US item. You can see that as early as July of last year that same $100 US item would have...

    Treemotion vs Ergovation: convince me!

    I have owned an Ergovation with the "H" style shoulder straps for several years now and love it. I have not tried the Treemotion. I mainly do removals. Yes, the harness does have some weight to it, but I don't feel that weight once it's on and I do hang quite a bit of gear off it. It has...

    Components of a Self-Advancing Knee Ascender (SAKA)

    Was going to buy one the other day that I was at Sheppard's, then realized all my rope is 12mm and I still have three brand new climbing lines I haven't used yet. Guess I'll have to try out the unicender some more. Too bloody cold to do anything (other than stay inside) this weekend.

    Used 2015 vermeer 725tx mini BMG

    It doesn't look like it has hydraulic rotation. I don't believe the BMG's have that feature. They just swivel freely. It is a nice looking machine.

    Aerial rescue practice

    Does look that, doesn't it. Devon was able to borrow a "rescue randy" from his local volunteer FD. He also attached an old harness. Made things a little more interesting in that position. Yes, he doesn't wear a helmet. That's one of the reason we call him a dummy. :p
