Running a 150-ton crawler on a muddy site taught me that old school cable rigging beats any new wireless load indicator when you need to feel the lift.

After the wireless unit on my last job in Seattle glitched and dropped a 5-ton beam 3 inches, I switched back to my grandad's cable system and haven't missed a signal since, so who else has ditched the fancy tech for something simpler?

Ever worry about an EMP frying your wireless gear?

My router can't even survive a power flicker, let alone an EMP.
