    Favourite SRT neck loop?

    I got a neck loop from Treekit, because I live in England. It's a bit of elastic that runs through a rope sheath and has a DMM mini biner. Anyway, thanks to all who contributed on this thread.

    The Truck Thread

    Hi Rich I have a friend who had a Navara and liked it. Last year he traded it for a new Isuzu and loves it! He tows a 2T digger with it and reports its much better than the Navara was. Also better built. He has the big engined auto.

    I agree Dave. To keep it in line I slide a rubber corner trap along the steel krab and push it up against the HH. This stops the HH moving round the krab and cross loading. Thanks for posting. Al.

    O.C.G.D. Thread, part two

    Same here. If employees break gear through stupidity they pay for it, or struggle without. I had a dumb guy with me a couple of years ago. He complained about my worn out plastic rake so I bought a new one. First day with it he used it against a concrete path and wore it right down in 10...

    Be VERY careful with a longer tending loop. It can sit on top of the HH, holding the dog bone down when you sit in the harness thus allowing you to fall. I gave up with a tending loop a long time ago when I discovered that clipping my chest ascender into the harness bridge ring kept everything...

    Buckingham Ergovation Tree Saddle

    I was about to buy the Ergo Lite as thats for sale here in England and it feels nice, for me. Although, I'm more interested in the Ergovation because it has the lower D type attachment points, like the Treemotion. I like the Treemotion harness but don't love it, however, I can't live without...

    Favourite SRT neck loop?

    So my question is which neck loop do you guys use? I've been using the Swingdude chesty but have found that it isn't perfect with the BDB (The Swingdude chesty is perfect for my HH because I clip it to my harness ring). I've shortened the bridge on my Tree motion which helped a little but feel...

    I use my pulley most days, then I don't. Whatever suits the tree best, is best!

    Yes what DMc said. Try not to muscle yourself around the tree as you would on a DRT system. Try to refine technique so that the whole climb becomes physically easier. Use the big muscle groups, like your thighs, and really consider your body position at all times, especially your core muscles.

    Climbing Boot Opinions

    What Peter said but I would also add this; Consider how many hours a day/week/month you spend in the boots. Then consider how important comfort is and what cheap boots will do to your back/neck over time. When I buy boots I consider only two things: Quality and comfort. I never ever consider...

    I've only been up and down some tall Cypress since my last post but less wraps seem to be better on the Cougar. Christ knows why I was putting more wraps on, I must be the dumbest climber around. Surprised I didn't work my way up to 12 wraps! Hahaha!

    I recently bought Cougar Blue to use with my HH. I had some Armor Pruss hitch cord and it was perfect but that has now worn out and there doesn't seem to be a stockist anywhere in the world! So I've tried some 8mm Sirius, 8mm HRC, 8 & 6mm Liros and the fabled 10mm Beeline. The HRC and Beeline...

    Dodge Ram Laramie 1500

    The best pick-up for any job is the one that has the most horse power! The same applies to family cars IMO. Simple! :)
