    Looking for the ideal rope.

    I can tell by every thing you're saying you just need to spend more time around well versed arborists. No reason one can't assess a tree while easily rope walking up a rope woth ascenders. Dare I say it's easier to do a better assessment because I can focus on the tree as I go, not attaching and...

    Jailbreaker New type of porta wrap

    I dunno guys, call me crazy but we do the alternating wraps and we get hockles still on our Portis. Particular using rigging rings like we like to and when we are going sort of heavy foe the rope (within safe limits of course)

    Home made friction saver advice

    It'll be alright if you're real careful about the friction saver placement and how the rope will be getting pulled out, making sure the ring will pop out. Cant say it wont get stuck tho lol. But spliced ends is definitely preferable

    Looking for the ideal rope.

    You're shopping for a rope to solve a problem that only exists because of how your trying to use your components. If you're going to hand over hand your ass into trees, a firm handed rope for sure seems important. But if you're going to climb using a zigzag on a doubled rope system, you don't...

    Climbing above decay

    The last thing I would do in this scenario is do a fishing pole style rigging set up. A lot of dynamic force put into the questionable lead that way. There is a substantial about of tree to work with that is not attached to that most questionable portion. Utilizing the more trust worthy parts...

    Canobase / canobasing

    The main advantage of the canobase is the TIP height possibilities. If I can get the height I need with a more simple anchor, I'll do it. The canobase allows me to "build" my anchor utilizing more than just one union or cinched point. Retrieval can be as simple as bombing out your ring and...

    Jailbreaker New type of porta wrap

    You can sweat it pretty easily. Once you play with it it's easy to figure out.

    Rope runner pro

    So is the device and its warranty worthy of commercial use, or does, as stated in a very poorly worded email (unlike how you have come to present the case), use in a work setting void the warranty? If it does void the warranty, for what reason is this a thing for a device sold as a tool for...

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    Is there an added cost for the brass nobs? I'm so excited to bring my bones back to life. My second generation bone has sentimental value but that top arm assembly is hard to pass up. I've been on a rope wrench for a while since both my bones have gotten to the point where they can't be adjusted...

    Bridge rope construction

    @Seth McPherson Bee line is a terrible rope bridge. The material its core is made of is very different than that of a a traditional double braid arborist rope. It's HMPE (....maybe just butchered the acronym...) material which is much more slippery. So the core of the rope in your knot has a...

    Bridge rope construction

    If you're just sitting there the second bridge holds the weight well. but in my opinion, it's pretty stupid when you go to do anything but sit there. And if you're just sitting there, why the hell aren't aren't moving or cutting.

    Regrets going out on your own/words of caution?

    I sub contracted to slowly build my self employment endeavor. The network I created thru contract climbing, people let me rent their stuff, gave me work, and some of them now just give us the leads since we are a full service company now, outside of PHC. Now I did break up with some people...

    Mechanical friction device

    @KevinS there was a list of series of serial numbers in question, not all from a certain generation. I truly don't think it's a device to he afraid of. That said, I have two bulldog bones and no zig zags. I'm honestly back to being mostly a ropewrench person
