Is it called anything if you just hook the choke, single line, whatever to a log to introduce roll? Is that still technically a parbuckle?

Is it? Parbuckle is an MA setup to (usually)raise a cylinder up a ramp, right?. I'm unclear on what Sean was talking about, but I imagined it as setting a choke, so when you start to pull, the log rolls sideways before it starts going straight. Maybe to miss a stump or something.

That garden I posted about in the 'How was your day' thread had a camera in there. I almost didn't see it cause they had a bunch of solar lights placed here and there. I'm looking around, my eyes go past the cam, and I think "That's not a light...". Dunno why it was in there. Maybe to see...

Sounds glorious!

What do you think of the air circulation in the Protos? I was toying with the idea of a Kask, but a couple people here said they stink, and are hot. I can get around stink with cleaning, but hot's a huge nope. I like the Petzl cause it's suspension based(no foam), and has huge vent holes. It...

I used to go almost every week, especially when my daughter was little. I've gotten out of that. There really isn't much I need, and don't really need to be accumulating more stuff. My yearly average now is probably once a month. Twice a month if you include the tool consignment shop. I almost...

Yea, I really like my older two. The first one I bought right after the redesign, and it /just/ fits. If I don't put it on just right, the straps rub my ears. The second I got just cause I wanted green, and it fits much better. Dunno if it's variance in manufacturing, or they adjusted the...

I just got this from the thriftshop for $7. Brand new... I guess it's the old style cause it doesn't look like the two I already have. I'll have to check online and see if I can score some accessories cheap since it's now obsolete.

I worked with a guy that was almost killed by a jackhammer. He fell in a hole with his finger locked on the trigger, and it vibrated his guts apart. He also got hit by a traffic barrel, and it messed up his back. He was on lots of pills. We got him on discount as part of a rehab\back to work...

I have one choker. I asked around here before I bought it. I was debating between chain and wire rope. I went with the rope, and I'm super happy with it. Makes life waaay easier skidding logs. Haven't used it in awhile cause I don't have 4x4 anymore, but I'd buy it again.

That's the thing. My immediate neighbors do their own lawnwork AFAIK. The neighbor behind me had some treework done awhile ago, but it was at the other side of the property, and I think there's decent spots over there too. Might've been from the next street over. Someone saw the thick rat's...

Someone pooped in my backyard behind my fallen oak. I'm guessing Latino due to the size of the cheapy latex gloves stuffed in the root structure. It was a fantastic place for it. You have a huge tree + root structure blocking one direction, and thick overgrowth everywhere else. I don't care. I...

Are all your trees amazing Deva, or are you cherry picking them for posting? Would you say Hawaii tends to have more amazing trees than... Wherever. Just pick a place that gets nice spready hardwoods?

I feel like that's somewhat obvious. Not necessarily the methodology in crafting, but the wide use of wood certainly, and things like fire hardening would be readily noticed and replicated just from every day living. Trees leave ready made tools as it is. It's not a big step from picking up a...

...cool shit out there, but it's impossible to check it out up close. The Voyagers have been flying almost 50 years. They /just/ left the solar system, and are about 1 light day away. Next closest star system is about 4 light *years* away. So... 365*50*4=73,000 years. I'll keep the light on for...

That went from an interesting bit of trivia and word play to crazy town in about two seconds :^D

[citation needed] Not like I'm out every day, but I do pretty well by limiting coffee to a couple big cups, then water the rest of the day. My body shuts down systems when it's inconvenient to use them. Totally exposed? I usually don't have to pee. Lots of good woods and bushes? Pee as usual...

I wonder what Murphy's been up to?

Wouldn't be a bad idea. They sell bailout kits, but they're hugely expensive. All you really need is a rope, biner and piece of hitchcord. You could play around with climbing too. Might be useful for ladder height type stuff if you didn't want to fully get into it.
