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

[rumination]

I tried it on in Minneapolis. It's damn comfortable, and adjustable just about every which way. Like Butch says, though, the price is a killer.

I don't know if I like it or not, having never tried it. I will wait for the Tree Housers reviews before I give it a try. I made the mistake of buying the first Glide saddle before they had some issues worked out. Sometimes its better to wait.

 

[sotc]

my latest buy

 

[SteveBullman]

cool you bought a bird!!!
whats the rope?

 

[sotc]

nope i didnt!
200'x 1/2" stable braid with 2 eyes

 

[bergsteiger]

Is that a line tamer from Sherrill there? If it is I wanna know how well it works.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's a waste of money, IMO. I bought one. It was amusing for a short time.

I kinda thought that was the case or everybody would be raving about how great it is.

Had an awesome last 2 days, came home and received delivery of these and it was even better. No More Wood Humping!!!

About that line tamer.... at a Vermeer show thingy, they said to unscrew the bottem a bit so the batteries arent active. They said those things eat batteries.

 

[JonnyHart]

Damn Brendon, you're coming up quickly!

I found the line tamer pretty useless too.

 

[sotc]

im having to scrape out the spindles just to get my throw line through it. it has no power

 

[JonnyHart]

Does yours have a little grinding stone on it? WTH is that supposed to be for?

It looks like a line striper for fishing reels. On them the stone was for sharpening hooks.
Just my guess.

 

[lumberjack]

Yeah the line tamer aint that great, bought one back in 04 I believe, it's long since lost.

 

[MasterBlaster]

But it WAS kinda fun, at first!

 

[No_Bivy]

You can file your nails with it. Brendon, make something to secure those ramps at the top, keepem' from slipping off. Mini is in cognito now!

 

[sotc]

yeah it has the stone, i sharpened the point of a round file and used that to grind the stone down. needs to go more though!

 

[rumination]

I stumbled on these high tech blocks while perusing a sailing site. I don't know what I'd use it for but they're so cool, I just want one!

Hmmm....you could just splice one straight to a loopie sling....They've got one with a SWL of 7 tons.

 

[No_Bivy]

That is cool, how much?

 

[pantheraba]

Karver has some impressive gear:

here is a catalog that shows the blocks and how they suggest using them...no prices.

 

[sotc]

[lumberjack]

I noticed it, but I it doesn't count by me saying it now and not then.

 

[sotc]

[SkwerI]

Willie, I noticed it right off the bat. I thought you got it from Darin last month?
