It's very simple, the classic, old-school New Tribe design. Thing that I never liked about it for working was that the whole waist belt will twist around your body when you turn hard against the rope, as opposed to any saddle with a bridge. Super comfortable for just hanging though, and I love the soft side D's. Awesome for rec climbing and hunting. Extremely light. I wouldn't use it for production work, the Onyx and MB are much better suited. Tengu is the same quality build though. These things last. I have an Olive green work saddle from 2007 and a red kids saddle from 2010, both in fantastic shape still.

Let me know if you ever want to get rid of the kids saddle.

Carefully cut and moved 2 branches that had broken from a Sugar Maple, and were heavily leaning on an Apple tree.
Some main branches had to be clean cut from the Apple tree, for they had broken and caused partial deep wood fiber separation into one of the leaders.

Do you have to take the shirt off and put it on the log when it flies off and hits you in the shins?

 

[Muggs]

Well, I usually bust those pieces up with elbow drops, but my little girl came out and wanted to get a picture of me, so I figured I should have an axe in hand, to make the whole thing seem believable...

Love my Fiskars X27. Best splitter there is.

 

[Shadowscape]

Never used mine for splitting, but I pound wedges with it all the time.

“Can you chip up our brush pile in the back? It’s not much…”

Some hazard mitigation over a public trail network. Quite a few cankered and cracked Beech snags. Climbing on multiple systems from two safe trees and some span rigging with the GRCS for the win.

"We had the guy push it into a pile with his tractor so it's all in one place for you".

The first picture could be the archetype of a rigger. I have made and seen that pose many times and it really hits home when I see it.
Very cool. Thank you for sharing.
