    Husky advice

    So I was considering a stihl 262 or 61 or 026 as a larger than top handle in tree saw when I found a husky 545 on fb market brand new for about 350. Good comparable unit or is this a residential grade saw that should be avoided?

    Wtb double pulleys

    Looking for some double shieve pulleys (preferably on the cheap). I know I had some double micros hanging around unused for the longest time. Hoping someone else still does. WYG?

    Fancy whipstitching

    Alright, whipstitching is my least favorite part of splicing rope. Maybe if I had the challenge of learning some new patterns it wouldn't feel so tedious. Show me something nifty?

    Aerial friction reccos

    Ok, so I'd like a way to add more friction at the rigging point. It's safeblock vs triple thimble, vs thunder sling, vs aerial friction brake, vs the rest of the world's worth of gear devoted to the purpose. As a recovering climbing gear junkie, I don't want to buy everything only to find...

    Kraken

    Who here has used an abundance of 1/2 energy absorption rigging lines? Need a new hank. What I used to use isn't widely available anymore and was eyeballing kraken, mainly because of the price difference between it and the other usual suspects. I practically never use natural crotches anymore...

    Yale blaze/bandit

    Why do I hate splicing this rope so much? I'd rather splice any other double braid twice than splice this once. I have no idea why the crossover seems to be sloppy (like the core goes into the cover and the cover goes into the core at very different locations) so often. I've tried measuring...

    Sold

    Pulled a treasure out of storage today that I had forgotten that I owned for the longest time. 1st gen treemotion. I got this like a few months after it hit the market. I probably climbed on it for 3 weeks before I got something else. It's been stored inside in a plastic toat it's entire life...

    Sirius splicing

    Just checking: Wesspur lists sirius as non splicable, but it is actually splicable, right and suitable for anchor slings? Just a good old class one double braid, correct?

    Throwline or hook?

    Alright, it's past time I rig up something better for setting little traverse/positioning lines while in the tree. The way I see it, there's really only 2 options worth considering. Throwline and either a grapnel or magnet Or A hook, whether it be epple, DMM, or whatever Polling the...

    Long bar on a top handle saw.

    So on my return to the world of climbing and removals I found myself saw poor. I got to the point where a 14" bar on the 201t wasn't enough bar anymore and my 361 broke a brake handle and was down for the day, so I was forced into running a 660 in positions I'm not real comfortable with outside...

    Back in the saddle again

    Welp.....I thought I had hung my saddle up for good. It has been years since I climbed, but my hoarding nature paid off when a guy i know called me up for a favor. So my first paying tree job in like....idk....3ish years is the removal of like a 100 year old white oak covering 3 properties (2...

    Aerial Friction Brake

    Anyone got the scoop on the device TreeStuff was hyping on facebook? I'm thinking beefed up Belay Spool, but I'm real interested to know the WLL on it as well as release date. This thing (if it is what I think it is) or the THT can't be availible soon enough for my liking.

    Petzle adjustable bridge replacement rope?

    So I'm using the Petzl adjustable bridge, and I am considering using a RE hydra, but there's a hiccup: According to Treestuff, the sewn eye just will not fit through the pulley, so I'm considering splicing up something myself. Anyone know what kind of rope is used on the petzl bridge? Is it...

    Garage Sale

    Only thing left is the arbormaster hank. Here we go again, some of them back for the second time, some of them new. Paypal. You pay shipping. If you need more pics, lemme know, I'll post some more. I may not sell both of the hanks of rope. I'll have to consider my options when one of them...

    Stiffest rope?

    I am looking to get a new lanyard made for spar work. I love me a good steel cable lanyard, but sometimes I work around conductors. The new lanyard will be purpose built for those situations. So basically I'm looking for the stiffest rope. The more cable like it performs, the better.

    Captive pin shackles

    Recently ordered a cheaply priced captive pin shackle to be used in a non life support application (connecting my wrench tether to my pully). It's complete crap. The pin isn't really captured to the body, and the smooth bore hole is bored out way too much. If I were to actually load this thing...

    Dead eye sling material

    Been using 12 strand for slings since I started, but they seem to show wear almost instantly. Who's used double braid for slings? Do you still? Do they seem to last longer than 12 strand slings?

    Slic pin mods

    Has anyone found a way to make the ZK2 slic pin lose proof\ drop proof? I'm revamping my wrench\tether system and I have a way to marry every part together except for the slic pin. I'm unfamiliar with the interior of the pin, but I'm thinking I may be able to drill a small hole in the top and...

    End to end ocean's vectron

    I've got some ocean's vectron laying around and was considering making a couple of thimble loops, but I'm not seeing any instructions to do an end to end splice on this stuff. Doable or no? Feesable or no? Better off with something else?
