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’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!😆
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...

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...
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!
