I was mistaken 40kn only applies for TR general use Carabiners.
25 kn would indeed be adequate for TR General use for ascenders and descent control device (when attached with a 40kn biner):
NFPA 1983 (2012) Descent Control Device Performance Requirements:
Escape “E”
3σ MBS of not less...
Yeah I saw that but I can't personally buy another one right now but I would like to be able to tell others
if the 40kn version will be available into the future. I personally think the HH2 would be preferable but I can't justify replacing my HH.
It will likely last a long, long time. It's...
Will the 40 KN version still be available?
I know when I take mine out and have show and tell with some of the Tech Rescuers I train with I can see the wheels start turning in their mind.
For wilderness rescue NFPA isn't a factor but having a 40KN version would be good.
This may have been discussed already but, I see the HH2 is 25KN vs the 40KN of the original HH.
Is there a reason for the reduced rating other than shaving weight and size?
I was really hoping to see an NFPA 1983 version eventually.
Review :23 - :25 frame by frame.
I can't see any face cut. There appears to be in the neighborhood of 4 inches of trunk breaking away and peeling bark.
The amount of force to break the trunk, once released, had an equal and opposite force once the trunk broke.
He got slingshot. If you can't...
Asked the guys at the saw shop and they said they run 40:1 in everything.
Can't believe I never thought of asking all these years.
So I threw 2 gallons of gas in with a 2.5 gallon mix oil today - high test no ethanol, I'll see how it goes.
What ratio do you mix Mastermind?
I have used a similar setup but used a blake's hitch instead of a prusik on 2 trees together.
Two dead pines with intertwined branches and several grape vines all over both. Just made my face notch and cut most of the back cut in the one on the back side
then face notched and back cut the one...
I've used Husqvarna xp oil at 50:1 in my Stihls and Husqvarnas for years and years.
Are you guys saying that it's better to run those saws a little rich?
I mix the 2.5 gallon mix in with high test. Am going to the local airport to see if
I can get non ethanol high test from them next time I...
I've found that dipping just up to the stitching below the ring works best because it allows the stitching to still bend,
and if you just dip the lower half of the weight it tends to peel off.

I get the 14.5 oz size from them.
I also dip rope ends, and hitch cord ends with it.
If you put tin foil over the cap with a couple rubber bands and then seal it in a quart mason jar it will last alot longer.
No to any licensing but...
Every saw should come with a pair of chaps included.
Any one remember when saws didn't have chain brakes?
Just make the tools as safe as possible and let people decide for themselves how
much training they need.
Our culture has become one of hand holding and baby...
Did I read somewhere about Velcro inserts for additional padding for the legs?
I really want to hear how the stock leg pads feel and vs. the add on pads.
Just saw this on Sherrill's site:

Looks like the hitch climber and the omni block had a baby.
Not sure what to make of it.
