how are people liking those little climbing platforms? I can't remember the name. Surprised more versions of that haven't come out.

New Gear Release 2022!
- Thread starter CooterBrown
- Start date
I'm sure we can create a used gear pricing thread, with sales history and marketing strategy, and whatever makes sense there.
The only reason Kyler's sticks are relevant here is the Gen 2 Tethrd sticks are such a bargain in comparison.

Why not just get the Timber Ninja with the new standoffs that fix the wobble complaint and short standoff?
I love grown men online drooling over sticks mid day on a Friday.

I like to include it to offer perspective whenever someone posts a new toy, and then the next three posts are complaints about the price.
But that's fair.
go on with the borophyll!
There were zero complaints about price after the new toy was posted here before you shared your ebay sale. And there was no browbeating of your sale price. Just want to stay on the topic of new gear.
Lol. That would take insight on their part. Jealousy tends to drive people to shame others as a way to make them feel better or superior.
I think it’s basic supply and demand. Right now there is adequate supply so sticks asking price will go down… when you sold yours, the supply was low to non existent which easily drove your asking price. I think it’s how capitalism is supposed to work. But what is borophyll?
I didn't mean specifically complaints about my used sticks, or tethrd's sticks. I meant the constant drum beat of why gear is getting so expensive, with zero consideration for the complainers' active role in the prices being driven up.
That's why I dropped it into this thread. It's relevant to the whole market. The goofy marketing tactics and high prices exist because they're effective. And they're effective because of us.
Chemical bonding must not equal glue then as the website states the following " Our proprietary chemical bonding process combined with technology developed for the farm equipment and automotive industries allowed us to maximize strength without sacrificing weight. "
Grade 8 bolt equals farm and automotive industry technology
Barren Ridge. I'm actually liking mine, but I did have the folding support arms welded in place in lieu of the pins. They have now offered a welded version of the stand on their website.
Welded version should be clean.
Anyone considered retrofitting with the lone wolf belts and cams?
That combo seems like about as good as it gets for climbing 6-16" diameter limbless trees, or in places you can trim.
Can you even get a new lonewolf traction belt these days?
Can't find one, but someone had to make the belt for them. Maybe lone Wolf Custom could give you the manufacture.
Summit's cables might work too, if you can figure out a copy of their catch system.
I was looking to adapt the Barren Ridge to the LW belting system, however, the arm sizing is much smaller on the Barren Ridge, so that would need replacing. I still might do it later in the summer
I don't have the dimensions with me, I'm at work. My plan was to convert them, but when the BR arrived.....but that won't work right out of the box. I can measure tonight and post, if that would be helpful?
