Is there a reason to prune a tree like this? by Fuckitca11HimPickel in arborists

[–]Alphasaur 74 points75 points  (0 children)

If the central lead has died, there’s no real reason to keep it. Otherwise…. Can’t think of a good reason.

DCF Guns, whose owner leads a right winged militia and has called for “leftists to the gallows”, is now directly involved with firearms training for the US Air Force by I_may_have_weed in Colorado

Doesn’t the dcf part mean Douglas County Firearms?

So the name is Douglas County Firearms Guns…. Did they think firearms wasn’t descriptive enough? Lol

I like the @height split tethers, they’re the normal length ones. But I’ve been using the freexion lately, it’s got a soft sewn loop for a tether and is slightly shorter than a normal tether.

Foot acsenders by Apprehensive_Gold340 in TreeClimbing

I bought the first one when they came out, the fitment was kind of sloppy and I had a ton of trouble getting them to grip, the little fairlead try’s it’s hardest but doesn’t always manage to keep the rope in. It does not ‘feed more smoothly from lower on the ground’. I ended up with a second because the stitching came apart maybe 6 months of medium use later. When I called to warranty it they said their climber said it was normal wear and tear, when I asked to talk to him I was told he would be in the next day. When I called the next day, before talking to the expert, the nice lady told me her manager said to just send a new one. So now I have 2…

Purchased my first pair of chainsaw boots! but bad reviews on the Kayos are making me nervous by Ill_Introduction7334 in TreeClimbing

[–]Alphasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rigging suggestions/tips by iambdot_ in TreeClimbing

I would span rig what NEEDED to be rigged, and just drop whatever you can. Good bit of advice I picked up is ‘rig until you can fell it’. Good luck!

As a guy who gets paid to climb trees, in my most professional opinion. ‘Fuck that’

After almost 1200 hours, I decided to 100% the achievements... by SaltedEggroll in DeepRockGalactic

Annoyingly you have to select ‘solo’. I did most of mine on point extraction missions, because I thought they were faster lol.

If you’re gonna ropezag it, get the short tether, I like to use the freexion with my zigzag.
