You can make it "jump" more or less distance by changing the size of the opening of the face cut. A narrow face cut (say 15 degrees) will cause the piece to be at about 85 degrees when the hinge wood breaks, causing it to jump off of the stump and continue in the direction it is pointed, which...

Remember when Obama was president and everybody was buying guns and ammo like crazy because they all thought he was going to take them away? I miss the good ol' days.

I was hoping it would lead to more people shooting politicians, but that hasn’t panned out yet.

I’m with you, Brian. I don’t top trees either. But I gotta admit, that sure does look nice!

I am very interested! Is this thing still around?

As a part-time galavanter myself, I aspire to do it full time someday. I hope you’re out there living it up for us working stiffs Burn!

I see you guys were wondering where I went for so long! Haha! You?re not getting rid of me that easily. :P

I haven?t spent any time with the SJ3 yet. I was opposed to the 2 because it couldn?t be installed midline, and since I use spliced eyes, that meant I had to pull all of my rope through from the unspoiled end before I could use it. Did they fix that with the 3?

Dang, I can’t believe those people kept climbing in these conditions. I went skiing over the weekend and the ice is bulletproof. No chance of self arresting right now if you fall high on Hood.

Jeez, how do you even sell a stolen work truck and stump grinder?!? I mean, with no title or registration, and the license plate # tagged as stolen by the police, nobody would ever buy it. Seems like an awful risk to run stealing a vehicle with so little chance or getting any money out of it...

It’s not the best weed at that price, and there is a 2 oz limit, but yeah.

Whoa, that is so cool! I’ve heard of it, but never seen it before. Why would you want people to bury your business cards though? Seems kinda stupid.

Really? I’m the only one? I would’ve thought everybody would be doing this. It’s my best form of advertising. Huh

I have some serious doubts about these rings for heavy rigging applications. As I understand it, the most important single factor in rigging systems with a dynamic load is the length of the rope between the load and the belay point. Rock climbers use the term “fall factor” to describe the...

I still can?t believe that weed is legal. I never thought this day would come. It?s been legal in Washington now for several years and things have settled down. None of the dire predictions came true. Growers and retailers have been legally established and chains begun to form. The state tests...
