    What was one mistake that you won't do again?

    I will try to never take a job that I can't do again. One lady wanted me to directionally fall a very tall fir right through a 4 foot gate in her fence so she wouldn't have to pay for chunking it out. I wasn't sure I could do it, but I needed the money. Well, after smashing her fence and having...

    gloves

    i've never had my glove get sucked into the hitch. my only beef with sticky gloves is that the rubber material wears away too fast. they are still the best gloves i have found, and cheapest too! maybe they could make a heavy duty version with extra thick sticky!

    Call me a Moron!!!

    there's nothing tough about ignoring your injury, unless you think dying is cool. in a small logging town i used to live in a "tough" logger got clobered by a log, but instead of going to the hospital he just drank a cup of coffee and went back to work, not realizing that he was bleeding...

    gloves

    moss, thats actually what i meant by reversable gloves. i think it would work if they were desgined right. and i cant even count the times that i've dropped my gloves. i dont even take them off anymore. in fact, im wearing them right now (not really).

    gloves

    funny, i was just thinking about this very issue. you really cant beat the blue gloves for ascending, but i found that i could blow through a pair in one day of work simply by descending or running ropes on the ground. that grippy stuff does not hold up to friction, so i bought some leather palm...

    tree climber fall

    i guess i have to admit that i have done something similar. my old saddle had a circular metal accessory ring right next to my lanyard D ring and two different times i found that i was tied into it rather than the D ring. Completely my fault, but also dumb manufacturing.

    tree climber fall

    i'm a little confused, are you saying that he was using a key-chain biner for his life support? i wonder if that means he uses non-locking biners for everything? either way, hope he gets better soon!

    Recreational Tree Climbing Drunk

    great find man! so, would that be dddrt, Drunk Doubled Rope Technique? The answer is no, because he had no ropes. Still, he did make it 100ft!

    Huge/Old Oak Tree.....cut it down?

    I'm not sure if you knew this, but my handle here and elsewhere (four other forums) is Sizzle-Chest, and while I'm sure there's room enough for the both of us, I would prefer if you change your name. Don't get me wrong . . . we are clearly like minded in that few would ever proclaim themselves...

    Sleeping platforms

    first off, i see no problem changing the direction of this thread if thats the way it goes. thats what discissions are all about moss, i agree with you on some points. i dont see any reason to be harvesting old-growth logs. however, i think that the over-crowded second and third growth stands...

    Sleeping platforms

    before anyone skrews this up, consider that this is a very rare opportunity for real loggers to communicate with real protesters through the safety and anonymity of the internet rather than in the field. i think we can all learn something here so dont nobody F this up! shag, here's a question i...

    Human Speedline

    i dont know enough about rope to say whats good and whats not, but i tried making one with some 12 strand samson and it streched so much that i nearly hit the ground when i jumped out of the tree. 24 strand rope is much less stretchy if that helps. i would also like to know the answer to this...
