    If there's a waiting list, put me on it. Do you anticipate going immediately through retailers, or can we get 'em directly through you/ Ropetek? Same question about getting a Wraptor for the State, direct option, or just through retailers? I'm still pushing for it. Hopefully there will be an...

    The metal cooling fin idea seems so 'space-aged', for lack of a better descriptor. Cool to see it move to the real world of trees.

    Looks really cool. My first thought was that it was plywood, but then I read your reply and re-looked.

    RE: two people on one climbing system, how often does this happen? I hear people wanting to strap another person to them, or hang the patient on a rigging line and cut the climbing system, etc. Why/ when would this two on one happen, except if the climber's system is compromised or pinned? I...

    Its place for me is usually in the bottom of the bag of tricks. The last time I DdRT'ed, it was pretty much just a DdRT safety line, while climbing the tree, and the time before that, too. I don't remember the last time I rope climbed DdRt.

    Brian, it was just to illustrate the concept that people can do STUPID things and still get awarded money in court. Would you put an intentionally hot liquid in a flimsy cut between your thighs while driving, regardless of if it was intended for human consumption or not? It also might not be...

    Paul, does that cord work across the board on all ropes? Might supplying the cord be a liability if someone uses it incompatibly (of course, of course they should test it, I'm just thinking of the McDonalds coffee held between the thighs burn lawsuit). I guess its just a matter of instructions/...

    I'm hoping to get some welding done today. My friend doing the welding has the tools to slightly upsize the opening of the prototype HH, allowing me to fit the dogbone sent by DMc. I have a Big storm-damaged birch to prune tomorrow, and hope to fly the dogbone! Haven't worked on my own jobs for...

    Sweet. I always like seeing what people really look like, when not far away from the camera in a tree, and covered in ppe.

    Super slick. Would that qualify for two distinct actions two open, and mean minimun strength requirements? Super slick. Had to say that twice.

    I received the dogbone and hitch cord, but unforetunately, it is slightly too tight to fit the upper hole in my prototype. The later versions must be slightly bigger. I can file the opening slightly to enlarge, with your permission, Paul. If that is okay, what is my best bet with the type of...

    What's that story, and can that mean using lighter aluminum over steel?

    Dave, are you using some sort of bushing on the biner?

    I think the dogbone will help a lot. I think the two biners and pulley make it sloppy with the length of Ice a was using. I will try it tied with shorter legs. dialing in a hitch system is always important. short climb yesterday. I have some new 8mm bulk beeline and used spliced 8mm (length...
