I appreciate the heads up, duelly noted and definitely put into consideration . I’m aware it shouldn’t be shock loaded and it is generally used in static applications. When used in a negative rig aspect it is let run liberally. With all things have to be cautious and understand the WLL and...
Hope you find a deal on one! Silly how much they cost. Great piece of kit though! I spliced up a amsteel ultra sling for mine and it’s almost light enough for daily carry. So many good uses.
I too would love to see this belay spool! Unfortunately the link was expired. Having friction...
End of the day, I think we’re both on the same side. People shouldn’t rip people off, and it isn’t excusable, and shouldn’t just be swept under the rug. You have the right to address the matter however you see fit and sounds like you have more personal connection to the matter than just a...
Hey bud, I don’t need to respond to your Dm I’ll respond “ publicly “ to you. Why don’t you read the post again, without a complex? I did not call you a “ assclown” or a “ douchebag. I stated that when a person repeatedly berates someone over and over, especially on an online platform. Even...
Hey man, I get your feelings! I’ve got a wife, a mortgage, kids, same as many of us and it pissed me the F off to get burned on a deal. Especially around Christmas time! I am hoping that rope runner arrives on Monday and this bs, at least for me gets resolved. I also hope everyone else that...
To chime in, so I’m one of the folks that got a no delivery a few years back from Donney. When I first saw this listing I jumped on it. Wanted to try the new version and give one of my older rrp’s to one of my guys. After sending the dm the biz name caught my eye. Which I brought up immediately...
Alright, got the push I needed to not talk myself out of it! Haa I appreciate all the insite. I know it won’t be a daily driver but at the price point probably be foolish not to add it to the quiver! I can think of so many times off the top of my head if I could have had something to lift with...
Appreciate the thoughts so far and agree. I know there’s a time and a place, especially freeing up the mini to pull big picks out tip tied with the grcs. Wasn’t sure If price point was super epic or not. I know everything is 25-30 percent more expensive in the last few years. Work hasn’t been...
As title says, I own a sk800 and we use it for everything. From dragging to feeding to lifting. With a block at the base and if needed a mid stem redirect I can lift anything I’m comfortable with as long as we have the runway. Theres a newer local tree biz going out of business that is...
Started experimenting last few days with running it in front of my saw. Works ok, I do like the ease of lanyard pay out. Might still be more of a headache than it’s worth to manipulate the saw around the coils though. Give it a few more days before I go back to the good ole daisy chain and use...
Bit of a post resurrection here. I have the Nessie but don’t use it for management much. I generally daisy chain like has been spoken. I would like to use the Nessie, my problem is interference with my chainsaw. I run my lanyard adjuster on my right d ring and my saw hangs on my right hip as...
Could totally be going from running older/ long term use batteries for a while regarding torque and life. Non the less felt snappier and sure the hell lasts longer than my old faithfuls. Haa. Improved snaps for release and lock in are a big improvement too. I had a 300 series battery that would...
Update, had the new battery for almost a month. Maybe a little more torque but definitely longer run time and no noticeable weight difference. For the $20-$30 more dollars worthy investment. Thanks for the heads up all.
Had another husqvarna battery give up the ghost and was shopping for a new one. Seems they have come out with a “ pro “ line of batteries. Looking at the 40-b220x. I run the normal 200 batteries in the top handle and pole saw. Don’t like the 300 too heavy, heavy enough as it is. Anyone used...
I have been running the ct spur ascender setup for years. Works killer and you can switch it to the regular foot ascender strap for prunes. Only negative is the lock to keep it on the spur mount is stupidly easy to disengage. I’ve lost it and had to sift through piles of shit way too many times...
Yeh it’s a wet son of a…around here a good portion of the year. As you know well! I do find if I get good quality gear, that comes with a quality price and take care of it ie.hang it up nightly and boots on dryer you can get a season or two. As we all know there’s so many expenses in this game...
Very true. I’m definitely not one to skimp on quality gear. Especially if it makes the miserable days a little less miserable! I was just throwing out feelers see if anyone had experience with a unicorn pant they loved! Haa
Moved away from the grundens bibs of death years ago. Been rocking some half zip grundens pants for a couple years worked pretty well and way less sweat suit. Want something like my kuiu yukons but don’t want to shred a $300 pair of pants in a season. Anyone have good recommendations on durable...
