    Raccoons!

    I grew up Racoon (coon) hunting and one piece of advice is don't under estimate them and don't ever try to grab one. There is no way to grab one without getting tore up. They usually won't challenge a human, but if they feel trapped or that there kittens are in danger they will become absolutely...

    Addressing hitch binding with the Rope Wrench on descent

    You are correct Tim thanks for catching that. I was so excited about going out to the garage and trying a new friction hitch that I got myself confused. I am going to eat a little lunch and head to the tree and try the Knut in real life action.

    Addressing hitch binding with the Rope Wrench on descent

    This is a great topic, I am heading to the garage to try a knut. One thing I have noticed in my limited climbing is that the weather makes a big difference in how my hitch acts. I started using 10 mm armor prus on Blue Moon rope and that helped a lot. I noticed in very dry conditions it...

    Hello Bhard 47 Thanks for the welcome. For SRT I am using 150' Blue Moon rope with the rope wrench and hitch climber pulley. Originally I started with just a CT foot ascdender and hand advancing the hitch. I just added the Saka to go with it about a week ago. I now use a chest box harness to...

    Hi again Tim. I do climb, I actually just got out of a tree and came in for lunch. I would consider myself an experienced newbie. What I mean by that is I am not a professional climber, but I have been at it for maybe a year and a half or so now. I started with DRT using a Blakes hitch. I have...

    Thank You Tim I have already picked up some tips from the discussions I have read. As far as climbing gear I have acquired more than I ever intended to. Every piece I buy I believe will be my last one, then as soon as I start using it I think of something else I "should" have. I think I have a...

    Hello everyone. I have been reading post for a little while and decided to sign up. I just wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. I am not very familiar with forums so I might make some mistakes, but TreeBuzz looks like a great place to learn and share.

    Attaching nylon loops to saddle?

    As others have already mentioned I also tie them into a daisy chain. Something else I do that helps me out is mark the size on them with a black marker in numerous places. I carry a few different lengths and this helps keep me from unraveling the wrong one.
