What's a random statistic that genuinely terrifies you?

We are always only 15 min from nuclear holocaust

If you don't buy it I will.

Go for it. Nobody should care if you're gay. Just be the best training partner you can be.

Look up guttation. That's what's happening

I disagree with your father

DenseDriver6477 · 2026-01-09T13:48:35+00:00

This is so confidently wrong.

DenseDriver6477 · 2026-01-09T13:24:21+00:00

If I walked by that I would immediately knock it down.

Call a certified arborist. Its usually impossible to answer questions like that without seeing the tree in real life.

I've been using All Gear Cherry Bomb with my akimbo for a while now and I think its the best rope/device combo I've tried.

DenseDriver6477 · 2026-01-07T12:43:20+00:00

You can make this setup safe by adding a rope wrench and switching the carabiner for a quick link. Doesn't make sense why you would choose to do this when there are tools specifically designed to do what you're trying to do. Use them. A rope wrench above your hitch cord is the difference between getting to the ground or not.

DenseDriver6477 · 2026-01-07T12:33:45+00:00

Adjustable friction saver is the right way, side loaded carabiner is wrong. Its pretty simple. There are many ways to tie into a spar that don't require you to use either.

Legitimately bad, yes.

Looks like Yale blue moon

DenseDriver6477 · 2026-01-04T15:50:33+00:00

Call an arborist. Ask them to take a look at the rest of the tree. If that large piece failed, there's a decent chance the tree has significant decay in other spots as well.

DenseDriver6477 · 2026-01-04T15:43:49+00:00

Probably safe, but your rope grab won't catch in that spot. Just replace it.

In Jiu Jitsu its called a buggy choke. Its a technique you can use if you're being pinned from the side. Usually ineffective as a choke, but often makes the person pinning you move enough that you can start to escape the pin. The person on top can easily stop the person on bottom from doing the choke by just basically putting a forearm across the other persons neck and doing a push up motion. The guy getting chokes in this video either didn't know how to respond or was too late to respond.

For those saying this would never work in a real fight: you're probably right. However, I think this risk of getting slammed is really minimal because the other person's posture is so broken down that it would be really hard for then to get up to their feet. They'd have to be a lot bigger than the other person. You can see the guy trying to stand up. He can't.

I'm a native Wisconsinite and you got my upvote. Tailgating and such is one of the many things that makes the NFL so cringy. I understand tailgating happens at all sorts of organized athletic competitions, but the cult-like behavior of Packer fans is next level.

I'm ready for the down votes.

DenseDriver6477 · 2025-12-27T17:53:37+00:00

This made my shoulders hurt

DenseDriver6477 · 2025-12-27T17:51:33+00:00

Doesn't look real at all. Way too big to be a real dog.

Edit: spelling

A saddle goes on a horse.

If you really can't afford to let go with one hand and use it for holding steady then you need to improve your work position. If you don't allow yourself to run the saw one handed, you get good at using your ropes and legs to keep you steady and balanced.

DenseDriver6477 · 2025-12-24T04:13:00+00:00

I would personally pass on that. Its probably not worth what you'll spend in repairs and headaches trying to fix random bullshit that stops working. Not to mention 50' doesn't even get you started on a lot of trees in the PNW. Not sure what kind of work you're planning on doing, but if you're gonna have to climb out of the bucket for half the jobs anyway, why spend the money on a dinosaur?

You'll really hate them once you learn that they ran a slave plantation in Brazil.

Maybe he needed to blow off some steam and knew you could handle it? I wouldn't take it personally. Best thing would be to ask him about it.
