Got my zig zag today. Didnt really like it much. Gonna try it tomorrow, and i still dont like its gonna be for sale.
One thing i didnt like was when its weighted, the bottom links are almost vertical, and the groves in the pins are over rotated, and the edge of the grove is rubbing on the rope, causing it to break small strand fibers. Here is a link to my full review.

they are probably designed for the more common Ethiopian tree climber and not us tuba-lards

Enjoyed reading your zigzag review, Jared, but you need to give it more of a chance.
I've hardly used mine, (with Poison Ivy), but am using the Hitch Hiker daily on removals.
Have you tried one of them?

I made up a couple of these econo tight crotch navigators today from a sacrificial 1" fid.
Might get a chance to try out tomorrow to see if sacrifice was in vain.

I think you are supposed to use thinner rope. But you have a problem don't you? Just can't seem to stop buying shiny pieces of metal.
Got back from H and R Block doing my taxes,,,$5032.00 refund,,whooo!

Had to fill in for a friend today doing some good will, by the end I was pretty much out.
Dealt with 1 client today who is rather difficult. I brought her an apple pie from the local bakery, and she wound up being really nice, which is a stretch for her. Looked at a couple of jobs, nothing great, but I will take it. Stopped by a friend's place this afternoon, he had his step son outside washing trucks... got mine done while we BS'ed. Not sure what I will do with myself tomorrow though as I had planned to spend the day washing the truck.
Got my chipper back yesterday, another $400. I was checking out some 1590's, and was told that once the tier 4 kicks in the CAT will be $75K and the Deere will be closer to 80K. That was really disgusting. Did a job yesterday that was supposed to be between 4 and 6 hrs... nothing crazy, just some branches and a couple small removals. We get there and the HO added on about a week of work, so I can't complain... just have to send the estimate.

Man it hurts like hell to cough to this has to be one if the worst colds or illness I've had.
Got lucky it started Friday didn't miss any work. Antibiotics seem to be working. I know if you leave it go it can turn into something worse.

Actually a skinner rope would make it worse because it would allow the links to open up even farther.
I don't really think trying a new device is really a problem.
