Are there lots of big trees in Charlotte? Never struck me as that sort of place.
Never heard of Scotty Olson either. Is he well known in those parts?
How long has he been testing it for, years or months. If it's the latter, and is now or soon to be available to purchase....sold for the purpose of lifting 5 ton logs over people and structures ect. For how long ? When should it be retired? How will it hold up to abrasion, the elements, hydraulic oil ? Who knows. More questions than answers. All for a sling that actually solves nothing. As a worker, climber, business owner, you couldn't give me one....there's too much to lose and not enough to gain. I'd feel irresponsible. In Nicks shoes, I just don't think it'll sell. Nor is the risk worth the reward. The crane ops here and that I've known in the past sure wouldn't accept it....at least, not as the primary choker. Maybe a balancer, but that's it. Maybe standards are different elsewhere.
Go ahead and keep saying how great it is, but Im gonna pass on it.
