Spinoff from my other thread. Besides wrapping the trunk or other methods for lanyards, let's talk about the first cut. Taking the top out. Seems that would be where to start... Went through all my books and they talk about the different felling cuts and cuts for working down the spar. Bit none...

How do you cinch your climbing line to the tree while working your way down the tree in gaffs? Going to get in some practice this weekend and looking for the least cluttered way to manage the climbing line while on the gaffs.

Been keeping my eyes open for a set of gaffs and just ran across a pair of Buckingham permanent gaffs with the T pads that have never been climbed in for $130. This will be my first set and I will not be doing any production work, just on my property for the removal of some Poplar trees. The...

Any way to put eyes on New England 6mm accessory cord? Crimps ? Thanks.

Big ash tree I have been working on in my spare time. Finally got a chance this evening to get in the tree after planning this cut for awhile. It is a large overhung limb that can be bombed straight down. To get to it I had to set a long lanyard from the side to pull me away from it to cut it...

Not sure if this should go here or the climbing section. I picked up a 20ft price of tubular webbing to make some slings and other cheap items. I made a few with the Beer Knot and was wondering wondering what is the strongest webbing knot?

I have been searching and see plenty of directions but no reasons? Why make the face cut 1/3 diameter? On a perfectly balanced tree so to speak, a face cut of 1/3 and then a back cut, seems like it would not fall, or once the face cut is removed, does the tree lean over some before the back cut...

I have a ash tree and having been getting rid of some dead limbs in. One long branch has crotches in with a poplar tree. Poplar tree has to go! So I get the Poplar tree stripped except the crotch of the Poplar growing in the crotch of the ash. Today I was going to top the Poplar and trim out the...

How do you do it? I will be getting the HH2 later this month. I climbed into the tree yesterday SRT with the GriGri2 and switched over to DRT to work. It was a pain. In the butt. After I got my lanyard set, I ended up removing the base anchor and finished up DRT. What is a effective way of...

Just starting SRT and I climb alone a lot. My wife is always there to call for help if needed. On weekends I have help but rec climb after work a lot. I want to set up my base tie so I can be lowered if something happens. The options I see on YouTube are pretty gear heavy and some are...

What methods do you use to anchor when no crotch is present? I have a tree I am wanting to remove a large branch, and part of it my crotch tie in point will go away if I can safely anchor In the tree . Here is a video that has me thinking. https://youtu.be/rMrrbRnGPjg

This is my third and fourth ocean 8 mm eyes.

I am going to make a few retrievable redirects with some hitch cord and rings. I just used the last of my Ocean 10 mm for some eye to eye's for hitches. I have plenty of 8 mm Ocean. Can I use that or should I order more 10 mm for the extra strength? What is the minimum recommended strength for...

Just starting my SRT equipment collection. Right now I have a CT foot ascender, Petal Ascension hand ascender and a GriGri. The only rope I have currently is 1/2" New England Hy Vee. I read on Sheril Tree rope guide this rope is for ddrt ,not recommended for SRT. Is there any danger in using...
