I've been trying to figure out the right length and whether or not too have an eye splice in each end or not. But I will try a standard prussic e2e and swivel biner on it first.
I'm so glad you posted that link. Probably like every one, I hate wrasslin with my D ring Biner, rope grab on my flipline. That tether should work perfectly.
That does look slick
Climbing up thru the limbs on some sitka spruce that have had lots of sun is a real chore dragging 2 strung out flip lines with me
I've thot about a 30+' lanyard maybe from Samson Bigfoot for some trees
I always use a wire core. I wouldn't feel too safe up there without it.
On all bigger stuff I use the 3/4" Yale. It flips and rolls great. But I magine if Butch uses a non wire core he has prolly well versed on the dangers.
Yes, I definatly need the Large harness. Hopefully they will split the Priority Mail with me like WesSpur does. The free UPS usually stops at the border.
Cool. Yup. That's just what I've been looking for. .
Thank you Nick. I think I'll go with the double roller. As I'm kinda barrel chested and top heavy.
I haven't got my chest/ over shoulder set right yet. I'm gonna need some time off to work on it as I'm on a different phase of the job now and not climbing for a while.
Well. My home made knee ascender worked. , not the greatest but it worked. I need to fix my tether so it works right and get my chest harness adjusted right. . A lot of my problem I have is the trees I'm climbing. They are really furry with limbs so my climbing line is always rendering over...
Hi Bud ; I'm Glen. Ya, I like it over here . But I'm a timber beast fromSoutheast Alaska that thot he'd never be climbing once I went from tower loggin to full time single jackin. Then the pulp mills shut down and went away so I had to revive some of the things I used to do and learn new...
OK. I'll research this . I will be using the HH with a tether to a chest harness. I was impressed with the knee ascender vid where he had his hands off the rope as he was going up. I have lots of really limby spruce to side trim and that looked like a good system to use to navigate thru the...
I do the rotator cuff exercises. They help some but its cumulative. The more I squeeze and pull, the number my hands get. One reason I've gotten into this rope tree work climbing isn't to protect trees from my spurs. It just a whole lots less work on my hands repelling out of a tree with...
I have no idea. But they are pretty bold in their advertising of the Max weight of the user being 240 lbs. I don't see any other companies warning in that way
