    Cambium saver.. Is it safe?

    It's a good idea because there is often quite a lot of 'sawing' motion on the rope even if you stay on a base tie. I've seen cambium damage this way on a base tie. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    That one piece of gear...

    The Sena helmet com systems. We bought ours from Motorcycle Superstore before they became available from treestuff etc. Game changer. There's only 2 of us, but we have interfaced with others who have the sets also. A chain reactor sling is always on my harness. I use it to create temporary or...

    Old ART Positioner

    Sweet! Thanks for this. It's the only image of an old style one I've seen. I've heard of that website before. It's pretty comprehensive. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    Beatles or Stones? Go!!!!!

    I went through a stage where I listened to Beatles while reading James Bond novels. I was all 'anglophile' back then. And right at that time our family moved to the UK for a couple of years. That was sweet, since then I didn't have to save my money and figure out how to go on my own. But, I'd...

    New rope dilemma

    I'll second the pink Husky, especially if there's a lot of moving around of rigging points and stuff. Shucking rope over and over gets tiring fast. That's why I like this stuff a lot. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    Old ART Positioner

    I'm poking around at this old ART positioner. . I took it apart and although it's very simple, I should have taken a few pictures. The picture shows it partly reassembled. Anyway, any of you guys who have one of these old ones: 1. Can you confirm for me that I've put the spring in right? I...

    I hope my posting this in the first place isn't what's considered to have been a misplaced contribution. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    New article up ....

    I suppose if you're religious about strengthening your grip, you might get away with it for awhile [emoji16] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    New article up ....

    At risk of sounding like one of those priggish twats, I'll say that one handing is always a deliberate and rare choice for me, never a default action. Same as not tying in twice. I call them 'managed exceptions'. Oddly maybe, these two so-called violations seem to go together when I choose it...

    Give them the biggest saw around, even if they're limbing small trees. That'll teach 'em. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    Monkey Beaver harness

    I'd like to see this reviewed after actual work climbs mostly on rope, such as a large dead wooding job with a lot of motion and travel and another on hooks on a spar. And maybe also from other women who do a lot of both those things. I found the harness very comfortable when adjusted, but...

    Quick Question

    Agreed. 100%. I'll make sure I have a solid stance. It's also pretty rare to nearly non-existent that I'll make a chainsaw cut one-handed so getting a solid position is even more important. Still wear my pants all the time. They are nicely padded and comfortable in the tree which is an extra...

    Prototype Adjustable Neck Lanyards

    I haven't heard of anyone being injured or worse using a neck tether. Intuitively, it feels like an unnecessary hazard. I can think of a few ways that a neck tether could make a situation far worse. The strangulation issue on an unconscious climber as mentioned above. Getting your neck snapped...

    Best saddle for Women

    I did last evening. Look in the climbers forum. Maybe you can answer some of the questions. I wish I'd taken a few more pictures, but it was a busy weekend and I was easily distracted. Maybe you can show a picture of the front side. I showed the back. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    Monkey Beaver harness

    I wondered about those D's on one side too. I also find the huge decals on the leg pads a bit off putting. Too big. I really like how the waist belt fit. There seemed like a bit of a taper to it that would keep it from sliding down when saws and crap were hung all over it. I'd love to test it in...

    Monkey Beaver harness

    Anyone else tried this? I think it was designed by August Hunicke. I got to try this harness out for half a day. Not a working day, so I didn't attach anything to it. I suppose this is a bit of a review. It's a New Tribe, and I think it's designed to be a light production harness. I hated it at...

    The Bob Weber says, “NO ONE IN THE WORLD CAN DISMANTLE A TREE FASTER THAN ME…

    Eight pages on carrying a saw on a shoulder lanyard instead of a traditional one on the harness? Intriguing idea. I might try that out. But seriously, 8 pages? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
