It's really impressive all of the engineering and effort it takes to make a quality product. I will be purchasing a frame and pack from you guys pretty soon! Glad I stumbled upon your products before I bought something!
Dang! Super cool, I didn’t know we had a manufacturing base right here in my backyard. I drive by RC every day and thought it had something to do with rocketry/aerospace/defense contracting.
If you're that close, you should zip out to our showroom in Dixon! Yes, it's cool to have RC so close. They got their start building carbon drum shells, and have been a great partner for us with their expertise in carbon engineering--more than just manufacturing.
I've had an idea for a carbon fiber climbing tree stand with titanium teeth inserts . Just wondering if this is capable with the carbon fiber technology that exists?
It could be. A lot of what's possible with carbon has to do with maximizing the strength of the structure by utilizing the carbon plies to create strength in the right parts of a structure. The drawbacks that I can think of would be that the teeth being inset into the carbon could create point-load areas, which carbon doesn't like very much. Your best bet would be to bring your idea to a good composite shop, and work with them to develop it.
All you need is a titanium exterior frame with carbon interior platforms, possibly reinforced with lightweight wire in the core (IDK anything about carbon). I would have done this by now but all my money is going towards Elk hunting right now. Hauling a climber around in the east can be a pain in the ass. Edit: After spelling it out, you could just go with a full titanium stand and likely achieve the same results.

Great video, great explanation of some of the basic components of fiber… most videos glaze over
Kuiu clothing r quality n comfortable. N love the fit. 👍💯💯
