Man I almost cried watching that 30 year old REI draw get busted. What a cool piece of history. I would make some neat wall art with those if I had some.

Would whip! But in all seriousness, I really appreciate you posting these videos. The thing about safety margins is it can be tough to tell where the actual line in the sand is. It makes a big difference to my mental game to understand the gear. Hope editing is going ok, you are a legend bud.

The random urge to buy climbing equipment, use it 10 times, then put it in a black leather bag for 30 years...

they only break because the carabiner you use are so old 🤔

I was thinking i should replace mine. I've been using them for 15 years probably like 300 times or so but never fell on any because i'm not climbing hard and doing multipitch etc. I always stored them in a bag and dry. I don't really see the point of replacing them when it's breaking that high actually. They look old but flawlesssssssss
