    Petzl "Eashook open" is out

    Saw this new product by accident and immediately purchased a few of them. Can be attached to sewn eyes and the open ring is also big enough for a Petzl Adjust. The sale has just started in Europe.

    BBC Planet Earth - Seasonal Forests

    This BBC Production is from 2006 but I think still worth to watch. Maybe some of you didn't see it before (like me) or other want to watch it again. Christmas time should be a good opportunity for this. Enjoy!
