Petzl ZigZag letter

[Leroy]

Since then I've had one on my saddle. I've never used It except maybe to zip down a spar or two!

 

[JTree]

I confess that I own 2 8s, but have used a munter more often, and have used the steel 8 for rigging more than the aluminum 8 for repeling.

The answer to your question is....welcome to tommorow

Haha ,,hey someone whos not a beer drinking drop out help me post the petzl vid its on there website

I am a beer drinking drop out, but lately I'm enjoying rum. In fact my entire HS gpa is 0.5, but I did manage to get my AS degree a year before I was suppose to graduate. Smart enough to drop out like a rat leaving a sinking ship to forge a better path. Now look at me, a knuckle dragging tree climber like most of us here!

You are on your own for the video though.

Oh I love beer and rum. I left school at 16 aquired ged same year,,, I have been called dropout I prefer( dropped in to life)

 

[evo]

Yup I only went as a freshman, my attendance record showed that I was absent more than I was there... Got my GED that summer, got a job, and started collage the next fall.

 

[macswan]

I just dropped out and did effing nothing for two or three years. Useless.

 

[evo]

That has it's place too. Forgetting the GED or AS which has done nothing for me, dropping out was the smartest thing I think I ever did as a teen, certainly the safest...

 

[JontreeHI]

Dang I didn't even know dropping out and getting a GED early was an option, or at least it wasn't presented to me as such. Oh well, too late now!

Well put. For me it's a matter of whether it's functioning within the realities of our environment and for a length of time that makes it cost beneficial. If there are too many caveats to how it can be used then it's just not a well designed product. One thing if your adapting a device developed for a different application (e.g. , rescue or abseil). When it's market is specifically arboriculture then it's got to work in the broadest application alike to his competitors.

My only wish is that petzl should wake up to the fact there are issues with their products.

Most words are just for fun and to add gravity to the thoughts and issues.

For me, Petzl is making an excellent argument behind the concept of operating with two independent climbing systems. I understand that the French arboriculture council recently passed guidlines that all proffessional climbers in France use two climbing systems.
