TIP


If you are changing out the push in type spikes. I use a large flathead screwdriver to pry them out. And instead of buying a korker spike replacement tool which is really awkward to use in your hand & extra money. I find that a little water & an interchangeable screwdriver without the bit in it is PERFECT for pushing in a new spike. And most everyone has one layer around (& most of the time without the bits )


Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing

I started using screws a few years back, I found that I would loose a couple of screws (like studs) every time out. So I got some fender washers and I have not had a screw come out sense, I do need to replace the screws 2 to 3 times a year. I don't feel like I even have them on anymore. If I have to walk I carry them and put them on at the spot.

I need to do something with the straps this winter they are starting to tear thru from rock rubbing and climbing, I added D-rings to them and I can really get them tight I never have to retighten anymore.

I've seen that on SOL, isn't that the same as DZ's method though? Or very very close to it?
