What do you think of the air circulation in the Protos? I was toying with the idea of a Kask, but a couple people here said they stink, and are hot. I can get around stink with cleaning, but hot's a huge nope. I like the Petzl cause it's suspension based(no foam), and has huge vent holes. It...

I used to go almost every week, especially when my daughter was little. I've gotten out of that. There really isn't much I need, and don't really need to be accumulating more stuff. My yearly average now is probably once a month. Twice a month if you include the tool consignment shop. I almost...

Yea, I really like my older two. The first one I bought right after the redesign, and it /just/ fits. If I don't put it on just right, the straps rub my ears. The second I got just cause I wanted green, and it fits much better. Dunno if it's variance in manufacturing, or they adjusted the...

I just got this from the thriftshop for $7. Brand new... I guess it's the old style cause it doesn't look like the two I already have. I'll have to check online and see if I can score some accessories cheap since it's now obsolete.

That's a good looking knife. Nice scales, and I like the way the steel looks.

Got a large scratch n dent portawrap from arbsession for $93 shipped(qualifies as a deal I think). I wanted one to keep in the truck, and I kinda wanted a large one. The one I have is a medium. I bought it cause it was specced for ⅝" rope, and I figured I didn't have any business rigging bigger...

An nk b&c for my 2511 and a PrisonBlues hickory shirt... I'm hoping for a performance boost from the b&c and the shirt is a replacement for my work shirt. Maybe... I could end up liking it too much to beatup at work. I rarely buy new clothes. Most of my stuff comes from the thriftshop, but I...

I keep my helmet in a cat food bag hanging in the back cab of the truck. The bag's mainly to keep sun off of it when it's not being used. The only time I notice the helmet smelling bad is when I've bagged it without drying it sufficiently. My main goal in washing is to get the crusty salt off...

No real way around that. I wash mine roughly quarterly, with the four times clustered tighter around the warm weather season. I use water, and Dr Bronner soap to wash it. Massage into the textiles, especially the sweat band. Rinse and air dry thoroughly. When you're finished wearing the helmet...

Speaking of which, I need to wash my helmet. Outside looks good enough, but the suspension could use a good cleaning. Maybe I'll do that today.

It would be a little fiddly, but you could hitch a ring above the unit for a cradle throw. Might even be able to put a ring on the unit itself, but that would be somewhat destructive.

I noticed that also. I cradle throw 90%+ of the time, and I wasn't excited seeing their solution, but it isn't something I've ever tried, so I reserved judgement. Glad to hear it worked well for you.

I tried this once on a locust. It didn't work. The slot the throwline was in was too deep, and rope wouldn't ride up.

I'll be interested in hearing what you think of it. If it works as indicated, that's something I'd like to get.

I'd hate climbing a tree to set those blocks! :^O

I like the honkin' big bumper. It's a nice platform that can turn into anything you like. Once I was done pissing myself off by beating my legs on it, I think I could get a lot of use out of it. The winch is icing on the cake.

:^D You may be right. I have a bunch of trees dropped that need to be dealt with chipper or not. It would be great to be able to deal with the chippables, but if not, they still should be piled somewhere, and the stems moved. Good weather's coming to an end. It'll be awful here shortly.

What a $500 box looks like... That's twice what I paid for my pc, and it does all kinds of shit. The only job the box has is to say "Spark now!". Debating on driving up Sunday to install it. Weekends are already short. Dunno if I want to ruin half of it by getting pissed off. I may wait til...

Prusiks sound like an awesome idea!
