I believe Wesspur still sells them. Another great option I have been using a lot is Samson 3/4' stable braid with an eye splice on one end for whatever clip or carabiner you choose. Its is amazingly comfortable on the hands and flips up big wood really well. Love it!

Thanks.

I like thick flip lines. Currently using 5/8" steel core with a friction hitch. Used a mechanical adjuster for years, previously.

I never want to go back to 1/2".

I love this type of work @Tyler Durden check out my recent awakenings. I learned a good lesson.
In the forests a lot this winter to. 30% thin, remove most diseased walnuts, no clean up and some forestry mulching

Just a small town girl, no one gives her a look, she just wants to be noticed.

CutHighnLetFly · Mar 29, 2017

So we gave her a make over and now, the reveal!

Now she's the star of the beach she lives on!

In all seriousness, this was a tough day for me because I was subbed out to do this pruning but I'm not sure it's the best time to be pruning pitch pines.
Sap beginning to flow, turpentine beetles I think will be active like real soon. Not sure I was doing the homeowner a service or attracting conifer beetles. The tree is well watered, root zone is not compacted, she might be alright.

A nice easy white oak removal from yesterday. It was a fun climb.

Had to take a pic because the bat tree people had this marked as an 28" DBH maple

Thought you'd have a purple tape measure

Last day last minute clearing per Indiana bat restriction local DEC made builder clear all trees off dam prevent root damage to dam. .

No that came out of my personal bag. My truck is marked with purple for some reason. Hence the purple tape on my mic. Wind cover fell off and a finger from a glove and that color tape was all that was available. Normally not a big deal but I was climbing in 40 mph sustained winds that day.

Cool looking grapple truck. Does the grapple come off the back to dump? Would be interested in seeing more pictures of that creation. Some nasty looking trees you got there!
