    How I landed my first engineering job with my hobby

    That's really cool! I've cut trees and cleaned up stuff growing up, but when we hired a "tree guy" I was like, I want to do that! Learned very quickly that most of what that guy was doing was pretty sketchy and that gave me enough reason to pause and really dig in before going much further.

    How I landed my first engineering job with my hobby

    Sounds like a dream. I got my first engineering job the traditional way, hired after interning during school... I ended up using my photography background to improve our technical documentation as well as get some cool toys like our thermal imaging and high speed video gear. So how did you end...

    3D printed gear hooks

    Wow this got hot. I'm no lawyer but I do have my name on several patents. Now if we start with the intent behind the patent process: The patent protects the inventor allowing them to protect their intellectual property for a limited time, while promoting innovation by making publicly available...

    Looking for a GoPro or good alternative

    I'd say if used is ok, a hero 4 or 5 will likely give you everything you need. At work we use the Sony action cameras as they were much more features for the money and intrinsically have tripod mounts. The only downside is they are torpedo shaped, so if you helmet mount it would have to be off...

    Same. In a rush to change the oil Sat night as I had to head back to school the next day (10 hour drive) and was way overdue. Drained the TM fluid on a PT Cruiser. Was watching it blub out wondering what the deal was. Rechecked the fill cap was cracked open, still plopping away. Took the cap...

    WTB: @height 9 5" tether (short)

    Glad you found one @DeadHead . I'm playing around with different hitches and cords. I was originally trying to use a VT but naturally it has way too much expansion. I've got the 8mm epicord and 10mm ocean poly. I used to use some 8mm bluewater accessory cord on my vortex but I burned a lot of...

    ISC Response to RAPEX filing concerning the Rope Wrench

    It almost sounds like someone thinks it's supposed to be a fall arrest device, like in case of your hitch failing it catches you?

    WTB: @height 9 5" tether (short)

    I'm gonna try out some of these suggestions first, but I'll let you know.

    WTB: @height 9 5" tether (short)

    I'll give that a try @JeffGu . If that doesn't work for me, I guess let me know if you're interested.

    WTB: @height 9 5" tether (short)

    I bought a rope wrench and shorty tether recently and I'm having a terrible time trying to figure out a hitch that won't expand into the wrench. If I can't figure it out, I'll let you know. It's the rope logic "fix" one.

    Rec saddles?

    I dunno, I guess it depends on what you're doing as a rec climber. If you're just looking to get into a tree and free climb with some fall protection, that's pretty ideal. @TREEfool comes to mind, he primarily seems to want to get into the tree, set a hammock or tent and hang out. The big...

    Q. Lubricant for Akimbo / duck oil

    Maybe, like waxed thread is actually stronger, but that's like beeswax, let's the threads stick to each other. The wax in this stuff is not uniform, it's like little particles in suspension. It's designed to flake off. Then again how much could possibly transfer off onto the rope? So net result...

    Q. Lubricant for Akimbo / duck oil

    Had anyone here tried one of the bike chain lubes? Like white lightning I think is what I used. It was pretty nice for that purpose. Goes on pretty thin then dried to leave a bit of waxy film. The idea was that dirt and junk should kinda slough off with the wax over time keeping the chain clean...

    Rec saddles?

    Yeah, look into New Tribe. From all accounts they are super comfortable, but they aren't in the same price range as rock harnesses if that's the limiting factor. Rock harnesses can be had between 50-100, the newtribe stuff starts over 100, with the rec ones coming in around 125-150, and of...
