    I do like the red. It sounds like rock might be into doing periodic special colors this time around too. So maybe lots of cool colors!

    Purple is far and away the favorite so far out of everyone I’ve asked!

    Climbing tips and tricks

    I like the prussic option because it can be installed without disconnecting your climbing system. Nice for situations where it may be risky to only have your lanyard, like out a redwood limb.

    I’m in agreement with you. Not sure how I spaced on Instagram being a meta product. I downloaded a video compression app, so no more links👍

    I might need a picture of that to be sure I understand. This is to retrieve the end of rope you’ve accidentally pulled out of your reach?

    Climbing tips and tricks

    I’ll go first. I posted this on instagram and I apologize if I’m too lazy to compress the video to upload it. If anyone doesn’t like links to instagram I’ll get off my butt an do the work 😁. Not first! You beat me to it!😆

    Climbing tips and tricks

    Not sure if there is a thread out there, I looked (not too thoroughly) and didn’t see anything. Figured there should be one. Just a place to show of some of the little bits, bobs, habits and techniques that make your climb easier or safer.

    Yeah, I had a bunch of cribbing supporting the end of the 6x6 past the wall. That way the weight of the piece was supported straight down to the ground, but the 6x6 wasn’t fresh and it sheared off at the end like you can see. There was a little overhang on the top stone (the stone was 3/4” flat...

    Then I jacked each side a bit at a time, inserting 2x4s then 4x4s, then 6x6s, till i had it up to 6” above the wall    Once there I ran 6x6s across the wall and the cribbing, and laid the pipe sections on top  It was only a matter of pulling nice and slow with a come-along.  Success!  ...

    This was a fun job. We removed this recently dead black walnut. Back yard, lots of hardscaping, not a ton of good rigging points. We got the branches off no problem and as we got into the wood the client started dreaming of walnut wood. He asks us to cut pieces as big as we can. I tell him ok...

    10 foot tall 48” black walnut trunk. Back yard, not crane accessible. Client really wanted it put on the ground in the yard so they could get it slabbed. It was on the wrong side of a masonry wall and 2 foot below the wall. I brought a 20 ton jack a pile of lumber and some heavy 2” steel pipe...

    Whatch-ya-growin?

    I believe the rootstock does effect the resulting wine. A large part of the variation in regional wines is the soil and weather. Different rootstocks are going to grow differently if grown in the same soil. Add to that any mycorrhizal interactions and or disease fungi and I could see the...

    I planted chestnut and pawpaw trees this winter, as well as walnut, heart nut, persimmon, doughnut peach and a few more apples. I finally deer fenced our front yard area, looking forward to a big pumpkin patch this year!
