So I'm looking to purchase my very first rigging setup in the near future. I would like to get the dmm impact block(5/8") and also the medium port a wrap(5/8"). I know by purchasing the 5/8" impact block, I will have to use a rigging line that's 5/8" or less, but what size can my whoppie...

So I was given this saw from my general foreman to be used at work. Everything runs great but the stop switch is broke. It's a "hand me down" from other workers that quit the company. Right now there's a zip tie to keep it from popping out. Only way to turn off the saw is by using the choke. I...

Thanks for the info.

What are the difference in these cuts?Do you use these in certain situations and different angles of the tree leaning? Does it matter what notch/face cut to use? Is there a link that I could read about it? Example: __\ straight bottom, angle from top to down __ straight top, angle from bottom...

Just tried your way of setting up the system. Being that I have oval carabiners, my HC loads to one side from the termination end pushing against it. Thursday my order comes in from treestuff. Will test the 9mm

That looks like a pinto pulley and not the hitch climber. I could be wrong. Pic is a little dim and not clear. But I'm pretty sure i got the idea. So basically attach my HC to my bridge and just run the termination end back to the carabiner that the HC is on

Any pics of that setup?

So I tried the distel hitch and it works great. When pulling myself(hip thrusting motion) it always sets back and locks. BUT the downfall is, it's super tight and not smooth at all to descend. I'm using a 30" 8mm OP e2e on 1/2" NE hi-vee rope. Do you guys think having a 9-10mm e2e would smooth...

Ok made a short video. So like I said. When the pulley wheels are facing me, the splice tends to touch the hitch and not let it set back. But with the attachment holes facing me it runs good and sets back

The splice eye part of my rope(fatter part cause of the splice) touches the vt hitch creating a little friction to not let the vt slide back up and lock. I just noticed yesterday when messing around with my current hitch that I use, it causes the same problem(only when the hitch climber pulley...

That's exactly it, chainsaws on this harness really pulls it down. I couldn't figure out a way to even attach a chest harness being that there's no front attachment point like the SRT version has. Would you happen to know what aftermarket suspenders would be good and how would you attach it?

Been watching some YouTube videos on tree work. Anyone here records there own work?Are you using GoPro cameras or other devices? what is your field of view settings(normal,wide,extra wide, etc.)? How is it mounted to your hard hat? Would like to see some pics of your setup. Thanks!!!

Anyone know if there's a chest harness for the regular Sequoia harness(not the SRT version)?

I'm currently using this friction hitch. I've youtubed and google searched this. From my understanding it is called the Xt hitch, but I'm pretty sure there was another way of tying it. Can someone confirm if this is the so called "Xt hitch"? Am I tying it the right way? I've played around with...

Thanks, will be doing that from time to time.

Just did a job in the rain 2 days ago, forgot to hang my gear out. Loaded it back into my gear bag and now they badly stink. Took them out today and will hang it up throughout the weekend. Hopefully the smell goes away before the start of my work week. By the way, would it be wise to hose down...

Does anyone have experience with this using it as a redirect for drt? http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?item=1609#detail

This post been a while back, but can you(or any other members here) explain the steps to retrieve this system?

Thanks for the info. I'll look more in to it. Probably will go with the ISC double action.
