    Climbing saddle gear storage bags, Pics ?

    As you can tell I pretty much keep my harness as empty as possible just from being in it all day everyday. Just means I am not carrying extra weight for no reason.

    The Ferret Thread

    when they were castrated their rear scent glands are removed and if they are happy they don't let off their smell. If they did the wife would ring their necks. I do have to say they are one of the best pets I have had and if you train them right they will not bite.

    pity on the noob!

    Welcome, I would say that as a new Climber that you should start with A. On any training course over here you would be taught on a normal prussic loop and then once you know the basics of how to climb then move onto the other systems you have put up. You wouldn't even be using a cambium saver on...

    New guy question, can branches without leaves just be dormant?

    you could also give it a knock with the flat side of a hand saw and the sound will be different. It's another way to tell all year round.

    Do your Aerial Rescue training!

    My manager had to be rescued at the end of last year as he slipped and put the saw in his arm trying to rush. He couldn't get himself down as he was keeping pressure on the wound.As part of our contract we have to complete 1 rescue every month just to keep it fresh in your mind.

    $15/hr minimum wage- what's it mean to you?

    I think with work ethic you can always see the difference between someone who has been working for themselves and if they don't do it they don't get paid and someone who has only worked as a employee and they get a salary. In this job you can always tell unless you start someone young and they...

    O.C.G.D. Thread, part two

    It wouldn't be the case of pressure in the system it's more for when you are transporting it and the movement up and down would force the head to move as well. It was recommended to me by vermeer UK that it should always be transported wheel down when we picked up our new one before Christmas...

    Kask Ear Protection

    The other problem I found with mine is sometimes the chin strap can cause the seal to be loose at the bottom of the muffled. I pull mine downwards on the strap before clipping up. The other thing is your mounts on the side look a lot higher than mine I would show a pic but my helmet is in my yard.

    Class E Helmets

    Some utility companies here actually make you wear fireproof overalls over the top of all your ppe as well. So it can be quite oppressive at times.
