    New Saddle Shopping

    I am a huge fan of the TM, mine is expired now though. (Why does Teufelberger say 5yr lifespan) At work I've been using a Seqoiua SRT since 2020, with the rated Top, as well as a chest ascender integrated. I have two bridges on that, one adjustable with the rolln'lock, the other stock. Great...

    Best Spurs

    I don't have much to compare them too, I had the Distel before, but to me tge Edelrid Talon are super comfortable, even without stiff shoes, and the pad is just perfect. I don't spend enough time in them or others to be able to notice any difference with spur angles, etc.

    Camp Goblin Fall Arrester allowed for TCC?

    @planiteer The Goblin can not be used for descent, only as a backup when descending with something else. It does not work like an Akimbo, or the Taz Lov 2/3. You must have misinterpreted that.

    Skylotec Power Ascender

    I live about 25 minutes away from skylotec, and have tried the winch at the Vertical Pro in Germany last year. (I actually got my ticket for free from skylotec, one of their instructors is in the same mountain rescue group I'm in). It's definitely a very nice piece of gear, I can really see it...

    Comms 2020

    @oceans How is the noise canceling with the Cardo Slims? A crew I work with a lot just switched from the Protos coms to Sena, not sure which model. Now they are all complaining about lots of noise coming through the headset. I wanted to go the Cardo route, just don't want to run into the same...

    Roll N' Lock not holding....

    I just tried to recreate it, without success... With 8.9mm, 10mm, 11mm and 12.7mm ropes. I don't know what I did differently when I had that problem, perhaps it was a slightly different version of the rollnlock. I remember that one of the three I habe felt a little bit different. The other two...

    Roll N' Lock not holding....

    I've had difficulties getting a rolln'lock to engage on a already tensioned rope, which is exactly the application you are using it in. This is especially true with larger diameter ropes.

    Rope bridge vs. Ventral attachment pt. for SRT

    No, I used a rollnlock with a spare treemotion bridge, in parallel with the factory bridge. I don't like how the petzl adjust sits on the lower D's, even though I rarely need them on the Sequoia, as it's not my tree care harness and I don't use a lanyard on lateral attachment points often.

    Rope bridge vs. Ventral attachment pt. for SRT

    I have a Petzl Sequoia SRT as well, with rated top with a chest ascender on it. The only time I need the VAP is when using the chest ascender, everything else goes on my bridge. A big reason for that is my adjustable bridge, I can get my system even lower that with the VAP for ascent using the...

    Unprotected splice

    If you want to protect it, you already got good recommendations. I just wanted to add that Teufelberger ships all of their eye to eyes like that, so I wouldn't worry about it. I think the hitch cord will be worn out long before the stitching.

    Stihl MS391 saw, 11 months old, 'dropped' its muffler

    I get where you're coming from, but to me 300$ more for 0.9 hp more, with 400g less weight, ist definitely worth it. That's not even taking into account the better construction of a pro saw.

    Stihl MS391 saw, 11 months old, 'dropped' its muffler

    The next saw up would be the MS400C, not the MS462. The 400 ist a great saw, both spec wise, and in use. And from what I can see online, it should be about 300$ less than the 462. Looking at US saw prices makes me sad, compared to Germany... But at least we get new saws first

    Question about a concept in art and science of practical rigging

    Not an expert on rigging, but as I understand it, witz aerial friction you get less load on the anchor point, because the forces would double when using a pulley, with more friction added, you get less load on the anchor point. You would get more shock absorption with using a pulley, so provided...

    Assessment standards for arborists (climbing trees)

    Don't have the time or mind to say a lot about how it is here in Germany, but we have a course system, with 3 5 day courses required to be legally able to climb with a chainsaw. SKT A (SKT= Seilklettertechnik/ Rope climbing technique different from SZT= Seilzugangstechnik/ Rope access) SKT A...

    I'm hoping to learn Re various chain-types for climbsaws (10"-->18" chain), not just "get Pro" but understanding the teeth/etc..

    I believe you are wrong about the 2511 coming with 1/4" .043 in europe, they come with 1/4" .050 It's nice that the come in 1/4" though, that saved me from having to swap the sprocket when I put a Stihl 1/4" .043" on mine. And I definitely wouldn't run .043" in a .050" bar, .043" comes with...

    [saw & B&C reco's sought] My biggest saw is a 42cc/18"...w/ the storms coming I feel naked, uncertain what to buy :/

    That's a lot to unpack, I'm not even going to attempt to answer most of that, because I don't know enough about it. What I feel I can answer is why there are few options, especially cheap ones, for 60cc+ saws, most manufacturers (Stihl and Husqy atleast, Echo ist different, don't know about...

    Hammock Recommendation

    Damn, yes, they have. Still worth it in my opinion though.

    Hammock Recommendation

    You won't be disappointed. What's the going price right now? I bought mine in 2019, when I was in the states the last time. I believe I paid $44. Sadly, they're not available in Europe.

    Hammock Recommendation

    Too late now, but the Kammok Roo diuble is a much better hammock than the Eno in my Opinion. I believe it's cheaper too. But is has a super nice fabric, gear loops, comes with carabiners and dyneema slings.

    Rope Wrench Ascension OUCH!!

    I don't see how this is a bridge problem, sounds like your chest/neck tether is too tight. A shorter RW tether will definitely help too of course. An adjustable bridge is awesome, I have one on my Treemotion, and one fixed/ one adjustable bridge on my sequoia. That wouldn't help here though...
