    Anyone else give-up on routine "friction-saver" usage?

    I think they removed it. We will see where he goes to next.

    Alright, thanks! I had thought that zip ties each held easily 100 pounds. I don’t know much about zip ties

    I removed the core so it is only the sheath, I think it holds 50-100 pounds. Is this too strong?

    WTB Notch quickie

    I like the idea of using a fishing swivel! Awesome idea. I often use screw pin shackles that are hard to open, so I also tie an Allen wrench to the shackle. It is quite a hassle and gets caught on a lot. Any ideas for this? Maybe I should keep it on my harness? Thanks in advance.

    Utility ID

    You post of lot of useless stuff treesap. I’d suggest taking a moment before posting and asking yourself “will this add anything useful and informative to the discussion” if it isn’t a question. You don’t have to reply on every thread you read

    got me a new toy

    The way I like to use the camera is to video my climbs and send it to EJ. It doesn’t come anywhere near real training, but I at least can get a little bit of feedback. As of know that is the only climb I have filmed though.

    From what I’ve done I think that nothing beats training WITH an expert. Reading and studying helps and so does training by yourself but in my opinion training with a pro is a must. Would you read a bit about driving and watch some YouTube videos and then try to drive on a highway?

    A good company isn’t going to put you on spurs to work when you have never used them before, that’s silly. You are hurting the trees and most likely forming bad habits.

    Still a tree just the same, why not wait until you are working on removals and in the meantime challenge yourself with other techniques?

    got me a new toy

    How should people our age practice spurs without causing harm? The only two ways I can think of is finding trees that are about to be removed and coordinating with the tree company, or using a single dedicated tree that was dying anyways. I’ve been holding off on spur use because it seems like...

    Looking for Training in MO or CO

    Hi! I am looking for nearby training. I am in the Saint Louis County area of Missouri. Since I am also practicing driving, I do not mind long drives (2-3 hours).
