He's back, he's back. Missed you Charles.

Climbhigh I like that bevel and smooth. Will check mine.

Ha, ha, what a great idea. I bought a spare HH in case I lost a dogbone. (Didn't want to ever be without it as a working tool.)

Hmm...I'll have to try that.

GemCutter, I have a new HH in the gold color scheme as a spare in case I ever dropped and lost the dog bone etc.. (My gold one doesn't look beat up to me by the way even though used daily or at least with me 100% of the time for 10 months or so.) At any rate if you wanted a gold one bad I...

Previous to using the HH the only “SRT” experience I’ve had was on the rare occasion when I was leaving a pull line in a spar and didn’t have a limb to use Ddrt from. Choked my line off with a Running Bowline and jerked an my hitch till I got to the ground. When I started using the HH Ddrt it...

ch74, Charles, I have been wondering about you. Good to see you posting again and hear things are moving along well for you. I have some thoughts about your first questions regarding balance, fliplines, sharp climbers but, as they are a little longer and don’t fit the HH thread so well would...

Someone is going to be the first in our industry to start using “Crowd sourcing”. Got to start a thread on that one day.

Bookmarked, thanks.

Next time BlackOak. Yeah at any point that I felt I were stopped on 1 or 2 days of work in a summer/year from choosing not to climb and finish work I will definitely order one. Next year am going to try Butch’s highly recommended cold vests or neck wraps to keep going on hot days. In...

Wraptor, thought I would not want one as it is one more expensive tool to take to the job and to protect. Used one for the first time when I worked back east for a couple of weeks. Humidity and heat were bad enough that I was not going to climb another tree as I was teetering on the brink of...

Ha!Ha! I tried hand pounding a leather punch through - no go. I had a similar ‘punch type affair’ that had a 1/4 screw gun shank on it. Sure enough the fast spinning cut through well. I would chuck an entire leather punch in a pinch. Then I used sharp tin snips to make the cuts. (In case...

Tried a few things to see if one worked better. Acces. cord, sewn the length and then double heat shrink.

Someone must have made these.???

Speaking of sewing...anyone use a piece of rubber/tubeing to grip the needle for the pull through? When I first sewed rope etc. I used a pair of pliers - about 4 or 5 times, then the needle wouldn't pass through the rope/material very well.

Oh! That’s too bad... I liked the feel of that. I guess it could easily feel better with another wrap when broken in. And too, I wasn’t geared up either. Could easily have another 20 plus lbs. on. Armorprus, three more wraps with that guys?!!!!!!!!! I’ll be wrapping rope all day. Will try...

Wasn’t climbing, just threw a rope over a limb to try this today. Went up a ladder to see what it felt like. Tried 6 and 7 wraps, this felt best. Will get set up to ascend this weekend. I'll double check the threads on HH to see if this is idiotic.

Picked up my Hitch Hiker from the PO Box today. Get to try it tomorrow. Incredible fit and finish. That’s the way I like my tools. Thanks Paul.

Sail making twine? From marine supply. Looks suprisingly like dental floss, has wax too.

It is Sean, you’d be surprised at the work one can muddle through with it. (Sarcasm) ch74 welcome to The Tree House!!!!!!! Thanks for all the informative posts and the rope tips Bonner. (And all)
