broken ring and funny world

[Crazy_Jimmy]

great idea x

 

[theXman]

you guys came up with it, I just put two suggestions together, that's all.

so MattyD, can we take a sawz all to that double ascender of yours?

I don't have much if any of Kong stuff, but I may have just learned all our cheap stainless biners we use for speedlines that we have on loop runners might be kong, I just saw a sale on Baileys in my e-mail on them, and they look like ours. crap!

But, I think I'm cutting anything I have made from Kong and recycling it.

I plan on doing the same.

If your doing that, then you might want to send it back to them. More of a protest.

Yeah, but they might spit shine it and resell?!?!

I'm to much of a tight wad to spend the money on shipping.

But, I suppose I could be peer pressured if we truly got a bunch of arbos to do this.

Everyone on this thread should go to:
http://www.kong.it/contacts.htm
and send multiple emails to Kong regarding this matter.
Lets inform the rock climbing and rescue folks about this as well!

Hey welcome forest keeper. Your first post!

 

[ForestKeeper]

Why thank you X. I've been reading alot on this site the last week or so. This is the first thread that I've responded to so far. I look forward to gleaning from the wisdom that is quite evidently in my fellow tree workers!

After keeping up with this thread for a while I dove through my gear bag looking for unrated or unmarked gear. I came across 2 delta links and a twisted clevis all of which have been used for life support at one time or another. They were all bought from reputable dealers, should I continue to use them?

I've never bought any Kong gear (I don't know why other than I just never got a good feeling about Kong and now I'm glad I trusted my intuition). The problem for me is my trust in all gear has been dented. Thanks Kong - Your company will never get a dime of my hard earned money if I have anything to say about it!


I wish Jay a speedy and full recovery.

what up fernhorn and forest keeper

 

[NickfromWI]

Maybe rather than mailing in the goods (which I admit would be a waste of our money), it might be good to shoot a little vid of Kong gear being hacked, then put it up on youtube.

I have one 'biner and 2 rings that are theres. I think that's it. stay tuned for the vid!

love

Nicely done, Jeremy!

 

[familytree]

Jeremy.

I love you.

 

[No_Bivy]

I aint gonna cut mine apart........

rings are a different beast IMO.

 

[blakeaferd]

so methodical...

 

[PUClimber]

I would've had more sparks flying and more destruction maybe set them on fire or something cool but I like my dualcenders.

 

[JesseHuffman]

Those bastids owe you a new cut off wheel. Im sure the aluminum will wear out of it. Well done. Your rage is an inspiration to us all.

 

[UrbanTC]

Your missing the point, Tyler. It's not about being cool, it's about making a stand.

 

[familytree]

I'll have to dig my kong robot and other biners and the infamous "unmarked aluminum ring" out of my recycling down in my basement and follow suite.
