Splitter bits.. autocorrect and no reading glasses... The little pieces of wood that fall from big pieces when they don't split cleanly along the grain.
I like hand splitting. My body says "yes" for a while, then my wrists and runs will hurt for a few days, so machine splitting with a 4-way...
Wow!
A lot of wood splitting at home.
Rounds have been drying in the sun.
I have a lot of wind and sun in my firewood spot, so all should be plenty dry by mid-October when it's about time for a fire. Lots of b maple and madrona with some doug-fir. About 3/4 of a cord of small cedar...
I like my ropes... I wan not sending two noobs up with chains on saws.
Just a training of climbing, no cutting.
Let them know climbing is hard, even if it "looks like fun".
I think time up there will help the understanding of the process. I gave them handsaws, chainless old echo toppers and lanyards.
They both enjoyed a growth experience.
Trained up the 2 new groundie enough for a day up a deodora cedar at my house.
I threw-in lines.
The one guy is a college student who is off for the summer. A gym boulderer and top-roper.
The other guy, very occasional, is a adjunct faculty at Evergreen college, filling in some of his summer.
Come out and we'll do some climbing!
Yesterday's 4.3 Mile hike in, 700' 5.8 (mostly all easier, one 5.8 move) bolted route, 700' of rappelling, and 4.3 miles out, half in the dark, the last quarter with a headlamp.
Friction pads for sure.
At a cliff, you won't have to put 100 percent of your weight on the rope to get down.
You can always, very easily, make a friction device to add a la RW.
Solo canopy raise. My employee wasn't able to work yesterday. The show must go on. PW job for the Fire Department.
It was muy caliente yesterday, so cleanup today. I took down 2 additional dead doug-fir, leaving them in the woods.
