My girlfriend's family has this nice oak tree on their property in the Florida Pan handle. The tree wyes off about waist high and both sides are 16-18inches and the base is probably 36inches. Where the two trees meet there is a lot of soil and insects. The tree seemed happy and healthy until...

I got a new Sherril catalog today and noticed a bunch of items from a brand called Notch. I haven't looked much into gear since last fall when I bought a pole saw. Several things look to be rebranded from former brands and stuff I used to see exclusive from Tree Stuff is now in the Sherril...

Perhaps I should have posted on a sailing forum, i don't know. I need a non-locking preferably less expensive version of this: http://www.iscwales.com/Products/Karabiners/KH250-Stainless-Twister-Karabiner/3376/ It's for a lighter duty marine application where I do not desire to have shackles...

The town I live in was directly impacted by Hermine. We still don't have power at my residence near the coast. We care for nearly 1000 injured and orphaned wild animals a year and had nearly a hundred pour in after the storm. We need power to properly clean and care for the animals. Thousands...

I'm trying to splice a hollow braided poly line to a float, then rings spliced on every 10ft and a stainless clip on the other end for a SCUBA dive next Wednesday. The Stainless rings are 2" diameter and the carabiner clip has a captive eye. I've never spliced something mid line like that. After...

Has anyone tried this carabiner from Black Diamond? It's target audience is the sport climbing world (I suspect) as a belay biner. I'm not sure it meets the locking standards for tree work though. I have the screw gate version for sport climbing and saw there is now an auto lock version. If...

I have to admit I have done some removals, climbing, and most were definitely not safe. I'm not trained in it and everything was for close friends/family and I took my time chunking things down. No rigging. I've got experience rigging heavy equipment lifts but not dynamic loads and what my...

I have never purchased a saw. Ran the Stihl models at work for a little while, owned hand-me-down Husky and Poulans that I share with my brother. When I moved to Florida all the saws stayed with him. Trying to find something for use around the home, heavy home use but not for professional use...

To those of you who have played w/ both units, if you could have only one which would it be?

I'm trying to find a source for a shackle that could replace my hip lanyard attachment point, or sit next to the existing ring. Most that could handle 1.5-2" webbing on the pin are so oversized in material diameter that they are impractical. I don't climb for a living, this is just on a...

Check out what this wood pecker has done in less than 1 month. some of the chips on the ground were 2 to 3 inches long. Sorry I didn't shrink the photos, I'm having technical difficulties tonight. side 1: side 2: Those images were taken 3 weeks ago and he is still going to town on the...

I will be relocating from Minnesota to Florida in the coming months. I visited the state for two weeks and got home last Tuesday. I was in Wakulla county (SW of Tallahassee). swamp like in some areas. Nearly all the trees were covered with, what the locals called, Spanish moss. I'm told the...

Like the title says, I would like one of these. I only want it cause I have started to volunteer setting routes at my local climbing gym and sometimes that involves hanging for quite a while. I can't see myself paying full retail since I am already volunteering my time and gear and that's the...

I am either going to buy a Unicender or Petzl Ascentree. I would like to get some opinions on both but especially the unicender. My biggest concern is how long the wear surfaces last before needing replacement.

A friend of mine will be installing a zip line, at a boys camp, this summer. I'm not a working climber and neither is he, we just climb recreationally. I offered to assist but this will be a learning experience for us both. Are there any good books on the subject or other good/reliable...

Do you carry a throwline/weight into the tree with you? I was going to make this a poll but figured there would be to many variables worth explaining. I'm interested to learn things like preferred weight size and length of string as well. T

A while back I across a video clip of someone demonstrating the cutting potential of a Silky Saw on different climbing lines. I think it was a Sugoi. I can't seem to find the video again so I thought maybe someone here had it book marked T

I would like to try an ascentree ascender but I can't see myself spending the money for a new one because I doubt I will use it often. So I seek a used one if it's in safe working condition. Anyone have one they are not using?

I am looking for a smaller line to use as a lanyard adjusting prusik. Right now I have some 8mm Beeline with grizzly splices from Sherrill and it seems big and cumbersome for what it does. I would like something I can hand splice but less than 8mm like maybe 6mm. I know I would give up a fair...

I have a sequoia SRT with the "top croll" shoulder harness http://www.sherrilltree.com/Professional-Gear/Accessories/Petzl-Top-Croll-size-1 but I dont need the shoulder harness much of the time and it's not super simple to remove. I was thinking a could add a quicklink for the rear attachment...
