    O.C.G.D. Thread, part two

    I traded work for a 066 a couple of weeks ago. Got some new parts and she is running like a beast. Started out with a bar and chain, then sprocket, clutch, bearing and goodies. New filter and a full cleaning. She runs good. I paid 400 in trade work.

    I'm sure they would be worth every penny. I'm gratefull that my feet are content with regular boots.

    Those boots look nice. What do they get for a custom fit, build?

    same here on the Asolos. Too narrow. Although they wear pretty tough. I prefer the La Sportiva's with the 3/4 shank.

    Stig, those maul's are pretty nice. I had one in my hands for a few minutes and made it a gift for a elderly family member. Maybe one day (with any luck) it will be mine. That's how well built they are.

    curious. Why not large teeth Butch? I love me a silky with large teeth. Saves a butt dragging saw.

    I was using the peltor kit for the Ecrin. They never sealed very good due to conflict with the helmet. I would have to wiggle them around to get them to seat. Better than nothing, like you said. I could have gotten the 27 nrr for the alveo but decided to have the lower profile design. I...

    your right. The Noise Reduction Rating is 21. I wore them today and man do they work good. Better than my old muffs and about equal to the in the ear type that I have worn. Helmet was very comfy as well. It was a good purchase after wearing my Petzl ecrin for more than 5 years.

    The price structure is def right using the three strand. I won't need any rope products for quite some time. Got a whole roll of the stuff and a spankin new climb line hanging in the shop. Those are good tips for splicing I am still a little messy with only doing it about 5 times. Using the...

    B, I do have a stopper and climbed on it for a short while so I am aware of the tendencies of the gri gri. I think it will do alright on the three strand but we will see. I may report back at a later date.

    Three little bears and a throw line bag. Much nicer than the folding cube. Fits wonderful. Now the heat test in a coupla months. I doubt it will be much hotter due to the very short hair underneath. The muffs fit much nicer than they do on the Ecrin.:|:

    I have a petzl grab and do not see a easy way to get the old stuff out. I will mess with it and put up a post on the cheap basterds thread. Thanks

    I retired my old micro grab because the wire was frayed. Can I use it without the tension wire? hmm, possibilities.

    I'm really hoping that the 30 footer is going to come in handy with the double hitch climber set up. Hanging from the rafters, it was pretty easy to get from one side of the room to the other.

    was working a little while ago and decided that I needed a longer lanyard than the 10 footer that I have been using for the last few years. I bought some three strand and a phid and gave it a go. Now I have two new lanyards. One 30 footer with a hitch climber and one 15 footer with a gri gri...
