I don't compare myself with anyone on here. I just talk about trees and climbing and relate to everyone I can. I also have never said that I climb every single day, nor have I ever claimed to be in that good of shape. In fact, I've said previously how out of shape I am. But that has slowly been...

@stig Did your ignore function stop working so you could make a cameo appearance and talk shit? You should get some technical support for that.

...I'm some kind of rube who lacks self-awareness? Sheesh. C'mon guys. The secret's been out for over 2 years. Almost nobody on this forum gives a f*ck about my channel. Which is why I never mention my YouTubing hoping anyone on here will care. I'm just literally relaying what I did with my...

I think it's good practice to tie something like an alpine butterfly below your friction hitch in an adjustable cambium or pulley saver. I do it without fail.

...that I can think of which do NOT involve using a carabiner in a CRITICAL LIFE SUPPORT application)...then why the ever loving fizzity fizzity f*ck is using a carabiner for my pulley saver so egregious? I am here to learn. But only from people whose "logic" resounds with me. While I...

I'm not trying to inspire anyone to use my system. I merely shared it with the forum because I thought it was unique and interesting as far as gear is concerned (the topic of this thread). This is going to be a device that I, personally, will be using for recreational climbing. This is not a...

This setup works exceptionally well. I repeatedly installed and uninstalled probably twenty times each direction, using just my rope, to verify that it would work smoothly, and it absolutely does. I plan on adding some paracord whipping to the middle of the loop in order to ensure that it stays...

I was window shopping for a prospective new rope to buy the next time I have enough money to spend on one, and I came across one that really piqued my interest. As someone who climbs SRS 80% of the time or more, and as someone who climbs with a mechanical device (Rope Runner Pro) 50% of the time...

It has a really interesting method for installation and, in order to retrieve it, you must (at some point, before you descend to the ground and finish your climb) ascend to where the pulley saver is and clip that little accessory/retrievable carabiner onto the correct strand. If you don't do...

Even though I only climb MRS roughly 20% of the time when I climb a tree, I am still obsessed with learning all about techniques, and how to use gear for, moving rope systems. I work very hard to stay up to date with every aspect of tree climbing. I do this mainly because I have a vicious tree...

@lxskllr, that's truly and incredible find and an unbelievable price! Lucky you! =-D I have a Petzl Vertex that's probably 6 years old at this point and it has vents on both sides of the helmet that you can open and close as desired. It's pretty cool, except one of the vents is kind of finicky...

Yeah, I take that back. Colorful is the more apt observation. I've seen much prettier ropes. I'm also probably not gaining any points by using "pretty" on a forum loaded with burly men lol

Check out this 3/4" dynamic rigging line by Samson called Aurora Dynasorb! Not sure how practical this type of rigging line is. It has a core made of Nylon and a cover made of Polyester. It claims to be 2-3x more durable than a normal, static rigging line. The TreeStuff website doesn't really...

Usually the padding in most helmets is attached via some kind of Velcro (making them easy to wash), however, if it's not, one can always put the entire helmet in their washing machine (so long as it's surrounded with a load of clothing) with a detergent and then, once washed, it can be placed to...

Okay, Stig. Whatever you say.

Psst! Your bias against me is showing.

I do a pretty good job of keeping my helmet looking spiffy, however, I really would benefit from some new padding. Especially in the summer, when I sweat a lot and it starts to smell weird.

I have never thought to myself, "I need a cone on top of my throw weight." However, I can see why it might come in handy in situations where you might need to force your throw weight or rope through something tight. I've definitely used the "throw the weight over smaller stuff and then smoosh...

It is quite long. They're great for normal stuff - but when you need more strength - and you'll have a ton of strength by quadrupling the 240cm for a 60cm application with a 92kN strength, or doubling for a 120cm application with a 46kN strength, or whenever you need to extend a system, like for...

Finally! I got the Comfort Back Padding that Teufelberger makes from Arbsession (because they are the only people who I found that carried it) because it was on back order. Kind of a frustrating experience with Arbsession (first time ordering from there, too), who didn't even realize that they...
