Thanks Sean, just doing a lot with the new passion of ebike riding trails and such. That and I've had the good fortune of having more tree work to do than I can handle for the past couple of years. I'm hoping we have a good rain year where I am and in addition to all of the important things...

That's an interesting thought about busting it on the ground....the tree mans version of walking up the mountain to the zen masters hut every day for two years perhaps. Welcome to The Tree House Johnny Hart.

Remember the Masdam slips around 1500lb of pull.

Ohhhhhhh. Thanks

Not familiar with anything tree related in stick form Peter, unless that is a marking crayon. What is it?

Dirt. I was working in a nice yard the other day removing one tree and some lower dead branches on other trees that were dead or in the view corridors. The bushes underneath the trees were a big concern for the customer and in spite of trying to be careful I broke a single one inch branch...

If cloths are all pitchy turn them inside out before washing. Saves the wife some aggravation and you 30 min of cleaning out the dryer with every solvent known to man.

If you need more help on the saw, (other than the boating suggestion :D) maybe post over in the "Chainsaw" section / forum. A lot more saw aficionados probably never saw your question posted here. Good luck on it though.

Had it slip? Absolutely, plan for it if pushing boundaries.

Too late. I hand threw last week and it took 4 throws to hit a 30 foot crotch.

Off to one side of what you are talking about - Somatics by Thomas Hanna. It is pandiculation, what cats and dogs do when they get up and start to move. Looks like stretching to most of us but it is actually taking the body through the full range of motion in any given way. For humans it is...

Try stuff out first wherever possible. MM Randy, You should’t have to buy anything to try it out. You have arguably the most valuable skill on this forum to any of the rest of us - making a saw sing. Who around you climbs and wants a good working saw? If you were around me I would have a...

I think the only deal breaker is if you say, “I don’t like this” or “This is not for me.” Some forms of climbing seem a lot like climbing a ladder or a set of stairs to me, also the desire to climb could have you do things to climb more easily that you have not previously been inspired to do...

Or Raptor = zero chin ups?

Jim, Have enjoyed reading your posts and seeing your enthusiasm for learning and climbing. As a way to conserve money and get the right product first time I would look to try gear out before buying anytime possible. I recently switched from Bashlin steel insert pads to the aluminum ‘caddy’...

When ordering a custom pair of Wescos (and I would suspect FireFighterZero’s Whites and others) you can have them put in double shanks to stiffen up a set of boots for supporting weight on climbers. I’m going to go post a bit of a warning on custom Wescos in the Work Boot thread.

Some golf balls have/had liquid centers.

Nope didn't know. I have always only counted on angled in climbers catching again. So if I forced my palms in against my lanyard from the sides? I'll have to try that and practice it in as a second 'automatic' response.

I’m going to copy Sean’s Big Shot set up for over 100 ft. shots. Have a nice open face reel, loaded it with Dyneema kite line (1 mm ?) but as it had a waxy coating my RopeKnight only flew to 40 ft. or so. Will attempt to clean all that coating off and backfill the spool with 80# Halibut line...

With regard to nerves I think of them more as opportunity than something to be gotten rid of. If I’m feeling on edge a little too much I look around for what I would have to do differently to feel comfortable, then bring that into play.
