    Foot ascender webbing wearing out.

    If you have a cmi ascender send it in for repairs. I've done this twice with mine, no charge and quick turnaround. They stand behind their stuff.

    Bridge connector...which swivel...ABR...???

    This is the most versatile setup I've come up with. Kind of expensive, but the large shackle can be replaced without needing a whole new swivel.

    DMM throw hook.

    I'm thinking about adding a cinch to my hook, but they seem to be no longer available. Instead Trango is offering up a device called the Vergo, https://www.trango.com/p-337-vergo.aspx Seems very similar in function, I'm wondering if this device offers any improvements or if I should...

    Camp Tethys pulley

    I like the simplicity of that. I thought this Camp pulley would be nice for clipping back into hitchclimber style when using my long lanyard on my bridge. I'm currently using a pinto, and don't really care for how things line up when clipped into the rated becket.

    Camp Tethys pulley

    24 kn, wll of 4kn represents a 6/1 safety factor. I was thinking of using it on my positioning lanyard. Hitchclimber and cmi double/triple pulleys come in at 30 kn, Stein skywalker is 24kn. Seems like things might get a little sloppy with the one large attachment hole.

    Anyone using this? Appears to be the most affordable double attachment micro pulley on the market at $25.

    New article up ....

    It seems to me that some arborists who take up this technique early in their careers become dependent on it, and may fail to move through the natural skills progression that should happen. I see guys struggle to make effective break/bypass cuts, or who have trouble cutting a clean notch. I see...

    New article up ....

    I've just finished reading the article, and must say I'm a bit surprised that you would choose to publish an article touting the benefits of a technique that is is clearly against written and accepted industry safety standards. Yes, the standards allow for exceptions to be made, but I'm sure it...
