This was pretty cool. Was it just me or did the trees in the vid with the most separation appear to be different species clumped together of like kind ?

Hello to all ! Not had time to really read through much of any old post. Butch, eye is almost good as new. Glass tube was removed about a year ago. Only issue is a tear will run down my face when looking down. Also when looking left or right of someone, I see 3 or 4 them. Doesn't bother me a...

Holly Molly ! Lots of new people here. man A daily rate includes many factors. Biggest being what the market in a specific area will bring. Are you insured ? Have your own gear & saws needed to take on any job? Do you have your own ground man ? Some jobs I will not do with out my ground...

Law enforcement has every legal right to ask if you are carrying with legit reason. As far as I know this is true in most states that allow concealed carry. Personally out in public I see no reason for open carry. Out in public if my gun is out some one is doing something very wrong. Most have...

Yup.... I'm with Butch,I dont believe many will be selling from that poor pic.

Why not a Petzl PAW or some such. It's what I use, run snaps & biners from both lines to it. 2 bridges seems to over clutter & complicate things.

I use to keep a length of 7/16 as a long safety/xtra line on my saddle. I changed it out with smaller diameter, just shy of 40' of B-Line Im really liking it. Butch I didnt mean to post this pic this large. Also Im having trouble posting pics right side up.

Yes Justin they are far better than a bare noggin. But for the most part the helmets that get worn aloft in a tree arent the best for fall protection. I believe a helmet can be designed for impact from above while at the same time offering a better level of fall protection than what is offered...

well you can be a proffessional pro type hobbiest......Though your getting too the time where anything but sitting down is a chore:lol: How ya doing Burnham ya "O'l Fart" ? Thing I dislike most about a lot of these helmets the Petzl made ones seem to violate what im about to say the most...
