spurs/spikes

[Will Heal]

I've got an old pair of bashlins, they rarely gaff out and I've never felt confident on any other spikes, but they don't sit right on my legs. Can I get Velcro pads for them and would that help?

Dogs are clearly better, never see a dog stuck up a tree

So the ability to extend n retract your claws is over rated in an arboreal setting eh?

Really would not want to slip and insert 1 of those claws into my own leg!

They never get high enough.

In dead hard wood?

 

I prefer to tippy toe about the tree, rather than stompin about like Godzilla.

Nice gaffs Jomoco!

[jomoco]

Thanks Silky.

 

Tri-edged gaffs had the habit of cutting and running at acute angles, particularly out on laterals, it's my belief it's caused by one of the three edges initiating a tear that follows the wood grain, at that particular angle.

 

These round gaffs pierce n set better in the wood regardless of angle, and with far less stepping force, particularly in dead wood, IME.

 

Munchkins like me only need a 3/8ths inner needle to set n hold well. But bigger blokes over the 200 lb weight n up? May need a 7/16's inner needle to support their weight without breaking,
