I have a (WTB) list. I'm not in any rush, and perhaps would like to buy a little over time, as the next few months of invoices roll in. If anyone has (ANYTHING) that matches my criteria please let me know what you have through post or pm, and feel free to send me your contact information.

Here's a list of things I'm looking for:

1. Locking Carabiners
2. A comfortable saddle for canopy work. (30-32 waist size) (Tree Motion, Sequoia, Cougar, Ergovation)
3. Petzl Zig Zag
4. Petzl Asap
5. 11.7 rope (Prefer one split eye on the end)
6. Air Powered Tree Access or Big Shot
7. Positioning lanyard with either snaps or eyes.


Anyone with any of these items, please send me more details, pictures, price, anything that could help me out. I'm a cash buyer, have cash on hand, but like I said, I'm not in a rush, and looking for fairly decent deals from someone with extras or items that are not getting used!

I'm not saying g what to do or not to do, just be weary looking for used life support stuff. Everyone treats their stuff different

BTW, what part of Arkansas. Spent a few years there. Felt like decades.

I'm in North East (Jonesboro.) That's one thing I love about Arkansas. I grew up in Texas near the big cities (Austin, Houston, and San Antonio.) Living around the cities, it seemed like the years literally went by in 6 months. And I mean literally 6 months. Now that I'm in Arkansas, we and wifey both swear up and down time goes by much slower. We've been here 6 months, and it feels like 6 months or a year in Texas.

We have a store up here called Orchalands Farm store. Don't know if you've been there. I've been loving it and feeling lucky shopping there. I went a month ago, they had the Milwaukee High Torques around ($300.00), for some reason they dropped the price to $140.00, I jumped all over that sucker.

They also sell commercial Echo equipment unlike our Home Depot which carries mostly homeowner stuff. Our Home Depots carry like SRM 225 weedeaters, maybe a 230, or Echo 12 and 16" saws, biggest being a Timberwolf. Today I was at the same store I got the deal on the Impact, I was looking at saws. Noticed they had a CS-500P on the rack unlocked with a pink tag. The saw was missing the chain and manual, still brand new, never used. $279.00! I jumped all over it needless to say, I couldn't pass up that kind of savings. I like Stihl and Husky saws, but I've used some older Echo bigger pro stuff, mostly weedeaters (266 High Torques) and they were great. So I felt like it was a win.

Think I decided I'm going new on the Saddle, Rope, and Biners for sure. Think I'm going to try the Ergo vation Economy saddle. I've climbed for years, but just getting back into it. I don't want to buy the cheapest saddle, but I don't want to spend $500.00 on one right now.
 
The treemotion s. Light is a great option also for around $375 or so. Sounds like you had a few good scores. It's always a nice feeling getting a deal on something

The Tree Motion light was actually on my want list. How does the ergovation economy compare to it? I was throwing both of them around in my head, but saving an extra $150.00 sounds nice if it's as comfortable as the reviews say on the ergo economy. The last saddle I had was the old split suspension, and I think that one took a toll on my jewels and inside my legs. Hence, I don't want the cheapest saddle out there, but don't want to fork out a ton of money.
 
Get a treemotion s lite and a bloidstopper pouch. Hook it on the back of rhe thing and it acts like back support. I have the new normal treemotion and it was comfy before. But after adding the pouch its insanely comfortable.

I just purchased a comfort backpad and a pouch too
 
I've been in the s. light for a couple years now and its great. I bought the bloodstopper and the comfort back pad and I like it alot. My buddy has a regular treemotion and I found the buckles much more difficult to adjust than mine and didn't really care for the buckles much

That pouch is annoying as fuck
 
I had starteed looking into the Buckingham BuckCat, but apparently you guys have talked me into the Tree Motion Light. I get payed from all my contracts on Friday, so apparently I'll be ordering it on Friday!

I have a feeling this will be an interesting climb with this saddle. I'll probably hate my life for waiting so long, but I've been in the old split suspension for so long and it seems to pinch me in every worse possible way, and I absolutely hate hanging as it tends to grab the jewels. I'm also interested in seeing what all the hype is about, because I sure don't have much range of motion in the old Buckingham suspension or D ring set-up.
 
If you got an injury that required pressure to stop the bleeding on one arm and your kit is all the way in the back of your harness, you would have to release the pressure while you tried to reach around and get the blood stopper. Might take some time as you can't see what you're doing. Somewhere more easily accessible might be better.
