    SRT preset question

    I usually tie a pile hitch some half hitches and a clove hitch on the end( nothing worse than spending 20 minutes on the perfect throw line spot only to lose it when you go to pull up your climbing rope)when your knot comes off the end of your rope!. I've never tied my climb rope to my throw...

    SRT preset question

    Great question....you seem to have the only answers to it I've seen so far. I find if it's leagal a screw in open eyelet works best, I have also left a wild edge step if I know I'm coming back to hunt a preset. I use a perch anyway so it's one less thing to carry in(the WE step). Be interesting...

    Public access ? You tell me

    I don't know about PA laws, but here in NY it is trespassing even if it's not posted without permission from the land owner. The easement is definitely a service lane so as not to land lock the state land. I have had this work in two different ways here in NY. One parcel I used to hunt the land...

    Saddle platform: DIY or buy?

    We surely cover this topic often.... and my response is always the same...from personal experience....have fun doing the DIY platform, pat yourself on the back when finished..."You did a great job!","saved a few bucks too"....then spend the money on a real one...LOL. I actually have two perch...

    No problem.... I get it ...I can't even take people complaining at the counter because of our incompetence...I took the 12 hour night shift (11:45 pm to 11:45 am) since the beginning of November just sorting parcels for delivery away from customers...I have never hated Christmas so much...

    United States Postal Service

    I'm so ashamed sometimes to work for USPS....I feel your pain...our cities parcel load during the Christmas holiday this year has gone from 3,000 packages per day to over 9,000 per day....mostly due to Amazon, nobody goes to the store any more. We are way past our capacity in every step of the...

    Rappelling 101

    The most concerning thing about all of this is there are so many devices and ropes to use to both ascend and descend the tree. Unfortunately on this forum we are all over the place on devices, and advice(I'm as guilty of it as anyone -not pointing fingers...). I'm so worried someone is going to...

    I'm including this video for all of us to see a pro climber using a variation of our system to do a clip and rip or pick off....the difference is it's a single rope running through the anchor point at the top but what I find interesting is his stopper knot tying on the way up as his safety for...

    Rappelling 101

    In the auto block video already posted by @weekender21 (back third post) tells you the difference between the friction knots the ones that you use for repelling vs just holding...thats why I use a Klemheist knot it's made to release better under load than a prussik.... Also as a safety side...
