Call that the hatchet tether bro that shit is super gangster.... Love it

And burrpegs setup is nice bc if he needs to use the swivel ever he can just unclip the biener from the shackle and reorient things quickly.
Not to mention the shackle is a great connection for a chestie

Yeah, the only thing tree-specific they have is the Sequoia, ZZ, shitcan, pantin and knee ascender (arguably not tree-specific) and the zillion.
That's actually more than I could think of when I started this post. Still not a lot.

I tend to agree, but they have some valuable offerings. The ring open is the biggest mind blower I have gotten from them. I was sure it would kill people. I love the ones I have been using for miscellaneous stuff for a few years...

They have a knee ascender? It must not be very good.
They should hook up with CI and go fight weasel leather and all at once produce a knee ascender with a following. They can keep whatever cheesy one they currently produce, too.

The chicane is a rope wrench, as much as bureapeg's is a wrench. I think it looks like it might be a small step up from the Zk2.
It should be compatible with a hitchclimber, and marketed to those of us who don't like the zig zag.

I bought a zig zag at the beginning of the year when the new version was on pre order. Personally I chose the original because I thought the new one looked more bulky than the original.
