Thats Bixlers hemet, mabey he will chime in

That bag was my DMM gear bag, didnt have a smaller bag to haul my line up in

I really like the helmet, a lot.

Have you seen the Metolius rope hook? Or would that have even caught on too many limbs.

I have, looks handy, I think NHLocal (Randy) would really like one, he likes to keep his rope up there with him. I've been using a STEIN bag that came with my STEIN spurs, it's more 'tube' like and works good for holding rope too. Thanks.

Cool.

There's never a moment I'm not wearing mine. On the ground, wherever. But it gets hot hot hot and humid here, wondering how it would fare -being it would never leave my head. Does it vent well?

Bonner, do tell us more!

I was lucky enough to get in on the pre-order (before i worked @ TreeStuff) through the Facebook group. I drove up to Detroit yesterday to hear Kevin give a talk on the evolution of SRT and was able to grab my RopeRunner.

Phil had a side job waiting so we went out this morning, wrecked to small ash trees and made a little cash.

The Rope Runner is sweet. I came from mechanicals and always wanted to see a full mech WITH vertical rope travel, Kevin did it.

My cameras were all without me! I guess I should have grabbed some cell footage. Sorry!

The more reps you get the more you will know, but generally speaking, does the RR perform up there with RW and HH?

Cool picture, btw.

 

[bonner1040]

Its different. For me it was better than both, but I totally understand how some people could hate it. The HH and the RW both rely on hitches which create variability. The Rope Runner uses replaceable wear components and a combination of camming actions.

Starting thread..

[woodworkingboy]

[FireFighterZero]

[Fiddler]

Nice work and pics Fid!!

 

[MasterBlaster]

What's the black thing on the back of your helmet?

 

[Husabud]

That's a Sena comm unit.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Roger that!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Some great pics.. good to see you back up there! They look tall, some of them.

 

[Fiddler]

thanks guys!

think I've got the climbing pretty much done today. Maybe a couple leads yet to prevent splits but they should all be dropped, bucked & sold tomorrow. Heavy leans toward the Service on most and no machinery on site yet so will get out the GRCS and pull them back.

Yes, we do love our comm helmets.

 

[Fiddler]

Stephan, Tied in twice at 75' to do all but one.

These are all black walnut you guys log? A steady stream of them? You sell to a mill that cuts mostly walnut?
