Moss, I think you and the people on here are the 1%. It is far from representative of every person on earth that had the bright idea yesterday that they could buy some gear, climb a tree, and make some money tomorrow.
As a seller of gear, I come across this all the time. There is no shortage...
It is to prevent the end user tying the knots with too shorter tail, creating the possibility of it pulling the tail through under load and rolling out.
I do think in the case of Teufelberger it is about your safety (and their own ass), not profiteering from spare bridge sales.
You might, but there is no shortage of people buying and using gear that do not remotely even understand it. A manufacturer of safety equipment has to factor in for the ignorant, the foolish, the careless - as much as the do the learned professional who understands every part of their system...
If you want 1 of the 2 Reecoils to do it all, go the Full Reach, it is longer than you could ever need. The Big Boss is BIIIIG! Way too big to want to use on a small top handle saw, but good if you frequently climb with a 660-880.
Old as post I know... Geez, I haven't been on the buzz for years and just saw this! But just for clarity the TIP Sniper we sell isn't made by Treegear, just bought and sold (and stickered!) by us. It's made by a local arborist/customer who we were willing to support.
The APTA as awesome as it...
My suggestion...just based on my observations from afar, and in comparison to other sports.
The ITCC should consist simply of the reigning national champion male & female climber from each country.
As in, there should be 1 (each male & female) from the USA, 1 from Canada, 1 from...

No longer SRT...to reflect a better description of how we work trees SRT stands for:
Stationary Rope Technique
This will clear some of the fuzziness of using 'static' when referring to the style of climbing. Letting static describe a rope construction will hopefully add a little...
I've handled many kilometres of cougar and would say the one on the right looks normal to me, as it generally would off the reel. The ratio of the patterns just look right.
That said i do think it's a "small" 11.7....as in more like 11.5.
I do think they tightened it up though, a few years...

Anyone know the deal on the arborist version?
I'm ready to just buy the forestry version and a strap.

I'm a little gun-shy to say given all the previous release dates....but, i am told they will be shipping around August having now passed the certification.
Don't hold...

Re: 5\' DBH Eucalyptus is killing my chains!
Hi,
I always used Stihl chain. Tried others and never found them to hold up as well or perform as good.
Full chisel on clean green wood, cuts fast but must be very sharp and the sharpening geometry spot on and will need more touch-ups.
Semi chisel...
I am sorry to hear that Chris.
I understand if you don't want to go there at the moment, but I am curious what cancer she had and what treatment she had.
I don't want to pry where not welcome, I ask out of genuine interest having seen my wife having had cancer 4 years ago.
Trev
Yeah Tony, he reads as a very genuine bloke to me.
Treevet, yes I remember Therrin.
And Jomoco - great distinction about tree guys travel choices... And i agree the most inspiring trees are usually those that have not been messed with by man.
I'm also from the "Banned from Treeworld" club, one i progressed to after being one of the early adopters, major posters, sponsor, moderator etc...
But his paranoia of a conspiracy theory behind me not wanting to pay thousand'$ to sponsor his fledgling anti-ISA association that i found out had...
Great job! Its visually appealing, has good content and sends the right message of a small but professional outfit. What i think it would benefit from is a clearer call to action on the home page for potential customers to organize an estimate via a contact form.
wow! Being a car-nut, I loved that.
The creators passion and depth of knowledge is incredible.
I knew these were fast cars, i knew they were good cars.
I didn't appreciate them as the works of art and engineering that they are though...
