Please don’t answer saying at a sport store, i need a specific name.
I need a specific name in GA, USA not some gym or anythinglike that

Things like backpacks, waterbottles, first-aid kits etc….. I am not worried about. But I am worried that equipment such as knives, hatchets, lighters (the "dangerous" stuff) will cause problems because I will live in on-campus housing. Does anyone know of any rules that specifically prevent me from bringing this kind of stuff into a dorm room? Any New York State laws that prevent this kind of stuff from being on campus? I really like hiking, and there is even an outdoors club on campus, but I wouldn’t feel prepared for a hike in REAL wilderness without that gear.

there i no one within 100 miles that sells tree climbing equipment and supplies. but i would like to understand how whole sale works, and do i have to buy everything in my store or do the manufactures say husky chain saw, allow you to have saws until you sell them and then restock? i have been doing tree work for 15 years so the only thing that would be new to me is the retail business

I have a decent bit of experience with climbing but have never actually learned what kind of equipment I will need since I have always climbed with companies. I know I need a harness, climbing shoes, rope but what other equipment and how many of each will I typically need for Lead climbing, top roping, and rapelling.

I’m just now getting interested in rappelling and climbing and I was wondering who makes the best or most reliable decenders, fall arrestors, and all that.

…other than a snakebite kit?

Today we have kernmantle ropes, dynamic and static ropes, nicely tailored Cypress harnesses, barrel-locking carabiners, and lots of other nifty climbing gear. What was available in, say, 1985?

What were the ropes like? Harnesses? Carabiners? Were shear-reduction blocks or belay devices used then? What about S.A.F.E. and 4H? Belay commands and responses?

please help, this is another question i am stuck on my food studies assignment?
