"Take three wraps" was a moniker off the ORIGINAL ISA site. That name goes back about seven or eight years. I doubt that many of the current AS or TB users have been around since TTW's time.

Do you remember "arborist@concentric" Now there was a piece of work...bad work.

A TTW did appear here -the only person I ever put on ignore.

I remember him, Tom Simmons, DoubleBraid and a few others. What ever happened to Tom Simmons? I learned a lot from him about tree work but also about life.

the port a wrap 3 will take less wraps to lower a load smoothly than the original ones. the number of wraps depends on your load and the more wraps the larger the weight on the line.
if you take too many wraps and the peice is too ight you are going to bang the climber around because the piece may not move at all.

The one and only original, Not sure if the person that signed up here with that name was the original or not?
Been a looonnngggg time , those archives are still available I think , ran into some doing a search not long ago.

The way Bewtifultreeman started out here and his wording kinda reminded me of take3wraps, along with the original question:Monkey:

Actually I thought Doublebraid was Glen R.?

This should all get written down somewhere besides the Internet.

I believe it was [email protected]. There was a lot of yelling in all caps.

I never knew doublebraid's real name but I do see similarities in his and GlenR's posts. That was back when you could log in anonymous and still post.
