    Not meaning to open a can of worms - cross loading carabiners

    I am an advocate for experimentation but people that have limited experience in vertical work need to either get some quality instruction or listen to those who work in these fields. We have some individuals on here that work in the arborist field as well as other people that work at height and...

    Not meaning to open a can of worms - cross loading carabiners

    Cinching configurations use Notch Quickie and be done with the cross loading dilemma.

    Who uses the notch v3 quickly?

    They made bearings for drive shafts for naval vessels when I was in. It smells very good when working with it and has self lubricating properties as well.

    Who uses the notch v3 quickly?

    I climbed personally with Kevin before the release of the Ropewrench at my place. I made a couple of lignum vitae wooden versions from diagrams from a guy at Rope and knot supply after taking a splicing class. I love the Roperunner for its compact size and easy tending. Of course the ride down...

    Who uses the notch v3 quickly?

    The Akimbo is pretty nice even though I don't have any experience using it. I believe the Hitchhiker you can manipulate with one hand as it is also hitch based. The original Roperunner has replacement wear parts and when adjusted properly provides a very smooth ride and tends so nice up the...

    Who uses the notch v3 quickly?

    I have been using since Kevin came out with them. Great tool and use it with my cinched srt technique. It makes navigating branches a breeze. The rotating pin reduces friction to aid in retrieval.

    Tree Stand Harness

    Back in my childhood I remember riding in cars with no seat belts, no bike helmets and hunting from trees was not popular. Risk assessment, fall force calculations and inexperienced ( or unknowingly) use of sketchy techniques and materials is a by product of innovation. Hopefully we all learn...

    Tree Stand Harness

    Also it bears mentioning that the typical rear connection type safety harness while catching you in a fall if you don't have a way to mitigate suspension trauma ( blood pooling in the legs causing unconsciousness) it creates a life threatening situation. I am having a hard time visualizing how...

    Why has this happened?

    I have shot cock feather toward riser forever and while feathers get some wear it doesn't affect flight. If the arrow is spined correctly it should flex away from the riser for it first oscillation as stickbows flex in the horizontal plane and compounds flex in the vertical plane. If you are...

    What's everyone reading?

    The Filthy Thirteen about the escapades across Europe by Jake McNiece and his ragtag group of paratroopers 101sr Airborne (Pathfinder). It was the basis for the movie The Dirty Dozen. He had no use for military traditions but dealt death to the Nazi boys for sure.
