    Old School

    This man is amazing. I have watched his documentary. The whole time my hands were sweating just from thinking about being up there with no safetys. His chimney dropping skills are also unsurpassed.

    Shock loading of hardware

    I think it is probably nylon double braid. I like a polyester double braid with a nylon core because they are a little tougher. The nylon/nylon construction gives for a higher stretch. If I had to guess what makes it special beyond an extra abrasion resistant cover/coating, it would be that it...

    Climbing Rope Ends and Avoiding Re-directs with the HitchHikerX

    HHX is definitely my next piece of gear! I love your SRT to DdRT conversion. Very slick.

    Shock loading of hardware

    I spliced up a few of these for my friends using 5/8 ploydyne. They work great. I made them twice as long so they can be doubled or quadrupled up for more strength. Just make sure the user knows about elasticity and that you can't just yank the slack out. Trying to snatch a stuck vehicle with...

    Check out wesspur.com for short sections of rope. You can also buy it on ebay if you can visually identify what you want.

    Drt redirect?

    Everybody is different; we like what we like. That being said, I do want to add SRT to my tool kit. I don't use a DdRT redirect for anything other than an emergency rappel out of the tree. They don't work well. That is why I have a long lanyard with a double DdRT on it. I previously climbed with...

    Drt redirect?

    I do want to go SRT for canopy access. I really like the efficiency and speed. I really like DdRT for moving through the canopy. I will sometimes climb with my climbing system slack as I move through the tree on lanyards. Then I can go back to my TIP and descend or I can do a single natural...

    New to tree climbing

    Search for arborpod on youtube. Watch every video before you but anything. Look up wesspur and nice guy dave, he dose great gear reviews. Spikes are for removals only. Never spike a tree for a prune. IMHO this forum is not the place for a beginner to ask hot to become an arborist. It is the...

    Drt redirect?

    I love kernmaster too. I use it DdRT. It is light, slick, and just a tiny bit of bounce. I have also spliced it with great results. I only got it because of a massive sale. I would prefer blue moon or tachyon for DdRT, but you can't beat $25 for 200' hanks of kernmaster. So kernmaster it is. I...

    NAME THAT "SYSTEM".

    Thank you Richard. You solved it. I think these acronyms work best.

    Sherrill Tree is Sold to Investment Co.

    They might as well call them the men's department and the women's department. They don't have a single female director.

    What is it and why should every truck have one?

    Lucky dog. I have to wait a few days for my orders to arrive. I just stared using this site this year and I have placed my 3rd order. Their prices are pretty good I just wish they would do free shipping on orders over $100. A bit of advice. Order more than you will need. Every time I order, I...

    What is it and why should every truck have one?

    I like where this is going. I want to know how much you have invested when it is done.

    What is it and why should every truck have one?

    It is not the water that shorts out the trailer, it is like you said. The water left behind can cause problems. I unplug my lights just as an extra precaution. What if a wire gets nicked by something under water or a light gets knocked off by a rock or the dock? Not likely but possible. I tend...

    What is it and why should every truck have one?

    I would recommend trailer cable. https://www.waytekwire.com/item/WT702/RV-Trailer-Cable-7-Conductor/ I have run it all over my truck. It is great for running circuits from under the hood to the back bumper. I also recommend heat shrink on all connections. I prefer the heat shrink crimp on...
