    two man crews

    Hey there everybody. What are your thoughts on two man crews? I do residential tree work and we primarily run 2 man crews. It feels ridiculous on so many days not to have a third man. On the rare occasion we have 3 men the days seem to be so smooth and productive. Maybe it's a morale thing...

    Kernmaster DdRT

    Hey everyone I've started using kernmaster 11mm recently and am loving it. I've used the rope wrench as well as the DdRT hitch climber set up on it and both work well. I've read that DdRT is ok and safe with kernmaster due to it's ability to stretch if shock loaded. Anyone else out there with...

    chest harness/ neck tether.

    Hey everyone. I am rocking the rope wrench/pantin/hass/hitch climber pulley combo with a vt, and love it. However, I am trying to figure out how to safely and efficiently tend it. I have tried the lanyard over the shoulder and i works, but is uncomfortable and to re-set that up each time seems...

    new petzl sequoia harness

    Anybody out there climbing on the new petzl sequoia? I'm loving mine but can't quite get it adjusted. I have a size small/medium and i'm 5'9" and 160 lbs. I have way too much pressure on my legs. I've tried the riser strap really cinched up and loose, and everywhere in between. Most comfortable...
