I had similar thoughts.

Nice piece of iron, Willie. Good for you.

If the truck is dedicated to work only, that's fine Butch. But if not, then Gary's solution makes pretty good sense. He's a part-timer, likely it's better for his needs.

Nice machine, Carl. Agreed, crappy thumb design, but I'm sure you'll get that sorted out. Good for you.

Nice!

"Stuff", huh...is that what they call it in Denmark? :lol:

Boy, I am such a good guy! That surely is their advantage. Of course if you are like me, and have such superb balance that you can stick a single tree gaff in the cut off top of 100 footer that's 4 inches in diameter and spin a 360 degree circle in comfort, you don't need that advantage. :P ;)

Included them in the price, sure did. I gave the pads you had on them away...they were good too, those double strap leather w/ steel inserts, with the angled mount. I forget right now the name.

You recall correctly...nice set of titanium Bucks. I have caddie pads on them now...duh. :D

Sure, just to prove to myself what a bad idea it was :). I don't think I met more than one or two PNW USFS climbers who used the short gaffs, out of hundreds I taught with and instructed. A much higher percentage of eastern and southern climbers did, though.

Well, Sean...you ARE crazy :D. Not that the move to SRT is a bad idea for those bigguns.

That's a good buddy, Rajan!

Spurs and flipline, duh. :D

Yup. Right out of Doug Dent's book, too.

You must surely now be totally in love with hydraulics...sweet grapple.

Same here, Adam. I'd like to try that one. Of course, I'll never ever wear out my current stable of climb lines :).

I think that's a good choice of color, too. Certainly catches the eye.

I did too, for the most part. Poison Ivy seems a good compromise.

Re-rail is good, Fiona :). You'll like the eyesplice with the HitchClimber pulley, for sure.
