That's certainly not in the dynamic range, for traditional values. Semi-static...it's on the low end, but accurate in my view. Colorful, it surely is...but pretty? Maybe a little less so :D. Seen plenty of ropes that are worse looking.

I think I have seen them with hi-viz stripes on them, somewhere. In my work world, that was never a need.

There has never, ever been a more comfortable, longer wearing, workplace appropriate garment than a proper hickory shirt. I wish you many a happy year with it, John @lxskllr. Prison Blues makes good stuff at decent prices, so it should be a great shirt.

Shiney!

Best wishes.

@Mellow You must have a locking tailgate handle, I expect?

They are sewn in such a way as to tear out in a controlled manner, reducing shock to your climbing system, say if a fall occurs from a tie in point failure that is arrested on a lower branch.

We all can tell this without even trying. Get a clue, you will not fool this crowd with bs.

So you just ignore that in your accounting of your awesome income production, eh? Wish I could do that.

Seems you and Mick agree :).

I'm not hating, I'm just saying you are mistaken when you make a blanket statement like that :). As is @WoodCutr. It is bs because whether or not you find a lower or higher D location to be more comfortable is largely dependent on how your own body balances, i.e. more weight up higher or down...

Or nostalgic for the proper use of a lanyard for spur climbing, perhaps ;). Your comment that hip D's are not ergonomic is complete bs.

How can you tell which cutting yesterday is causing today's back pain?

You can save time, which makes you money, by learning these skills. Of course, part of that is knowing when it is and when it is not the time to do it the faster way. :)

Lots of variables in play around your question. Height of tree and diameter are major ones. They are big factors in determining how much weight and how far you have to move that weight to get the tree over center of balance. But for sure you can get more lift with a 20T jack than with a few...

Even a small bottle jack would weigh as much or more than the whatchamacallit ratchet drive wedge...plus the extra time to cut the jack pocket. That being said, I've employed a 20T bottle jack to good effect often enough to be a fan, even if it is ghetto :D.

WOW. That's impressive footage. Good find, Knothead ;).

Basically the same issue, same solution.

I'm going to tangent off your post a little bit on that wedging tool, @pete mctree...hope you don't mind. You mentioned this issue in both posts, which made me think to highlight it. Folks who don't have much experience actually driving wedges to push a tree to commit to the face may well not...

A battery powered impact driver would seem an ideal mate. I also will look forward to your report, Pete.
