    That reminds me of something that came through the YouTube algorithm recently.

    Camp in Old Growth?

    Not that I can see. What do you mean? "But please stay the hell out of the few and non renewable OG, they deserve that respect." I linked the quote in post #38 in this thread but here is the URL in full...

    Camp in Old Growth?

    Yes, he explicitly stated such in the opening of his post in a way that no one could miss. "Good morning, All. In a couple weeks I’m heading off to the real Northern California to climb an old growth Redwood."

    Camp in Old Growth?

    Okay. How is that morally different from climbing an OG tree on government land?

    Do you always wear your helmet?

    They're just 90 degree prisms. If you tip your head forward you will see forward at the same relative angle.

    Camp in Old Growth?

    @rico and @evo you both replied to Zebco Kid in that earlier thread and did not admonish him that I can see. Did something change your attitude in less than a year or am I still missing the distinction here? How are you defining old growth? Do you mean all the trees in an old growth area or...

    I'll PM you. I don't want to help publicize scam sites through search engine hits.

    I may have found someone selling the old Notch Sentry Floating D harness, unless it's a scam site. Is this likely to be a satisfactory recreational saddle or a waste of money? Looks like it is a scam, but the question remains if this is a useful (style of) saddle.

    In continuation of my recreational efforts I ordered a Notch Big Shot. Is there any problem with using this on the thin-wall Jameson B-Lite fiberglass poles?

    Camp in Old Growth?

    I am confused by the outrage expressed in this thread. Is it the commercialization of this activity or the activity itself that is being objected to? In 2023 @Zebco Kid asked about ropes for climbing old growth Redwood and people just offered advice. Clearly I am missing something.

    EN Saddle Standards

    @Bart_ What dates of revision are you seeing on up to date versions? GlobalSpec shows EN 364 January 1, 1992 as current, so I guess EN 358 is of more interest. Translating the 2021 Russian version of that standard which claims to be identical to EN 358:2018 I see only 1000 mm drop tests.

    New to Madrones…

    I am sad reading this. There are very few around here, but farther south they are plentiful and it's the nicest feeling being in one barefoot.

    I did use a throwbag on my lanyard and I still struggled. Watching me flail and fail would have been like watching someone trying to tie his shoes for ten minutes I imagine. If I get to a point where the next branches are too small for me to trust and the nearest large union is too difficult...

    New to the forum, new to trees

    @levi r Thanks for asking. There haven't been any recently as I have been spending myself hiking and wading. The trees in the local park that were good for climbing in winter leafed out into bushy oaks by summer and I decided I couldn't climb those safely even if I wanted to as I could not...
