    Bombas are great for hot weather. Best of all, no toe seam.

    New Tendon Timber Ropes

    No such thing as too many pulleys. Wife can be heard yelling in the background "what is this package, it better not be another pulley."

    Ropetek Wraptor redesign

    Scion/ tachyon splicing instructions

    The taper pattern is not critical. The important part is not to have a sharp change in diameter. That is where a splice will break. I like the 3-4 pattern. It is easier to bury.

    Tell me something stupid you did!

    I have one. Not really tree related, but towing related. I used to do generator tune ups for portable generators. It was a good way to barter with people. One day I was loading up my trailer with generators to bring home and service. I was using a small single axle trailer that had been...
