Been working a second job to buy my own equipment (our work uses the old thick leather belts). So what i was thinking was going with the new type steel corded flipline,a new type nylon belt (look more comfortable),and my own spikes. Our supervisor gives each climber there own true blue so mines still new and hasnt been spiked!
Being a heavier climber (245) are the aluminum spikes ok?
also are the nylon belts that much more comfortable?good for heavier guys?
any problems from the mircosenders on the fliplines? just seems not having a "knot" there would have some problems with slipping.
Currently our company spikes every tree we cant get with our trucks(prunning also) I hope to learn some new techniques soon so I'll be asking about other equipment soon!
any help and what types seem to be working for you would be great! -jimmy
