    best rain jacket

    This forum is amazing...you guys are awesome. To take the time to help a new guy out... I can't thank you enough. Burnham, I started to peruse the index of National Tree Climbing Guide, looks like a very comprehensive resource, thank you. Downloaded, printed, and ready for my recliner...

    Thanks squisher. Since I have about 100 hours recreational climbing experience, they are going to train me to be a working climber. I'm fired up for that, although the thought of groundies staring at me while I'm up there rigging on my first climb makes me a bit apprehensive. Hopefully their...

    best rain jacket

    This is great stuff right here, thanks Burnham. I'm glad I haven't bought anything yet, as it appears nothing is the silver bullet to keep you dry and comfortable. Turns out today (my first day as a groundie) was a beautiful, clear sky day. I was in a T shirt by 10am. We did a removal, and...

    Thanks for the link to the frog gear....seems like pretty good stuff yet not too expensive. And Bermy thanks for the reminder about a shirt that wicks. Don't think I have one of those. I got some shoppin' to do.

    best rain jacket

    I just got a job as a Groundie, and I'm hoping for recommendations for a rain jacket that I can work in. Do I want something that's water proof, so I don't get soaked? Leaning towards this: http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=1977&item=15610 I haven't been on this forum in...

    spring loaded ball bearing rope grab

    I found this in my garage, going through a 'junk bin' and I think I know what it is, but I will let you guys guess. Anyway I was thinking this would make an amazing ascender, just make it big enough to handle 11mm rope. Just seems like it would work like a dream, and not tear up the rope...

    120ft unattached, it's no big deal

    No big deal to him anyway. :O Kinda puts things into perspective. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3W_iMve4xvg?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> After I watched it, I wondered... how they filmed that?

    Beginner Tree Climbing Tips

    Beginner tip: Don't leave your gear attached to your climbing rope for several days. I simply unhooked my biner, and left my complete RADS system on the rope, knowing I was going to climb the next day. Life got busy, and a few days later had time to climb. Went up and down, then when I...

    stay safe my friends

    That's terrible. Thoughts n prayers to his family. I wish we could know more details how that happened, so we can learn from it. I have a very old steel core flipline I bought from a retired lineman that I have used a few times, now I am afraid to, even though it looks solid to me.

    That can't be a real article....probably some fake site like the Onion, right? And holy crap you are a posting madman!! B) This is just a link instead of an embed because I added code at the end to go straight to the relevant time in the video...

    stay safe my friends

    Not tree climbing, but this is the most powerful vid I've seen in a long time. I certainly will think ahead & slow down a little before doing various potential dangerous jobs.:O <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C4S0rAZypzY" frameborder="0"...

    Every once in a while some things are difficult to find an answer via google, which is why I started this thread. And the Treehouse came through....lots of great answers. Now if anyone ever asks 'whoa, why did your axe bounce out like that', I can actually sound smart. To derail my own...
