    I love the Notch Rook!!!

    I agree that the hitch would probably skip first, but after that I'm curious if the rope breaks or the stopper knots pull through the holes. And then, in a separate test, I'd be interested if the holes on the pulley break differently if they're only being pulled on one side, as in this...

    rope-master.com

    has anyone, especially in the US, had experience ordering from this company? Some of their products are priced too good to be true, but others online are saying they had good luck buying rock and ice equipment there. Hoping for some input from those I trust more.

    Climbed a oak last month

    I don't get to climb many oaks out here, but I had to get in a nice one before I head back east.

    Let's talk redirects

    I don't really use fancy retrievable redirects (RRDs), besides natural crotch or the ol' sling and 'biner (SAB), in production settings. I definitely see the purpose of using RRDs, but despite the fact that I know several different ways to do it, its almost never the way I decide to work a tree...

    Why 1/3 notch depth?

    If a tree has a head lean and you use a shallow face, you'll be cutting through more tension wood before you get to the point where its easier for the fibers to bend at the hinge than split up the trunk. It's easier to visualize if you think of extreme examples. Maybe 1/4 depth doesn't seem like...

    Why 1/3 notch depth?

    There's nothing magical about 1/3 that makes it a perfect number for felling trees, rather, its an easily described middle ground between extremes that should be avoided in most, but not all felling scenarios. Going deep makes a lot of sense when chunking wood, but doesn't make sense in full...

    PHC in the PNW

    I’m looking to start dipping my company’s toes into the PHC world In order to give homeowners more options. From the research I’ve done, it seems that many of companies making and selling PHC products are based on the east coast of the US, and have far more resources devoted to east coast...

    Looking for smaller blocks to run 9/16 or 5/8 rope

    You can; you just don't want to.

    Looking for smaller blocks to run 9/16 or 5/8 rope

    The 2.6 Omniblock is size limited by the width of the face plates. I've used 5/8' rope in one bunches of times, and there is some drag when the rope is unweighted, but as soon as there's any weight on the rope it stretches and the rope no longer contacts the face plates. Somewhere on the...

    ...

    my coworkers and I have been speculating that since Notch bought the rights to the Rope Runner name and started making the RR Pro, they have discontinued the production of the old one. There are very few original RRs available from online retailers, and some of the listings are even titled...

    Glazed ropes

    I suppose that's the skinny of it. You can get jobs done faster but at the cost of wearing out equipment. However, it would be nice to be able to understand ope wear and make decisions about what is acceptable for what uses.
