    TCIA WTF?

    THANK YOU for calling this out. I think Mark has some kind of God-like-can-do-no-wrong aura in this industry. Of course he's great at what he does and has contributed loads to the industry, but that doesn't give him a free pass in this case, IMHO.

    helmet with mesh visor

    Or if it's the Protos muffs, you can swap them out for 3M ones that will likely fit better.

    helmet with mesh visor

    I say just get a Protos. Personally, I don't like wearing anything else anymore. Baileys currently has a buy two, get one free deal.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Sometimes, its the really simple stuff like ratchet strapping limb bundles to make carrying them easier, that's staring you right in the face the whole time. Brilliant idea that I've never considered, thanks for sharing!

    Husky 564xp fuel injected

    I bought one about a month ago, our local shop had them really early. I haven't even used it yet! I'm a solo admin/field staff muni guy so it's rare that I can actually do tree work lately. It has a 24" bar, was hoping it would've come with a bigger bar but the shop wasn't willing to work with...

    Rigging with karabiners

    I've done it plenty over the years, often preceded by a half hitch, which takes most of the weight. I don't use the carabiner for most negative block spar rigging, only lighter weight stuff. Always a steel carabiner, on a tight eye splice or a cinching knot to maintain the proper loading axis...

    Artemis II

    I think the most alarming part of this post is the fact that you say- "Why is a question I never ask my homeowners when they choose to remove a healthy tree. Knowing why is not my business. My business is to fulfill their wishes." You never ask why someone wants to remove a healthy tree?! I...

    Knee ascender attachment

    Knee ascender attachment

    I'm probably the last person to give climbing advice, but here goes... Instead of/in addition to varying the attachment point, have you considered varying the length of the bungee? Sorry if I'm missing something or being pedantic, not my aim.

    Big tree, no space

    WTB - HYDRAULIC WINCH for BANDIT 12XP

    I chalk my experience up to bad timing, poor customer service, maybe less than competent mechanics and a post covid "IDGAF it's not my problem" world that we seem to be in. The winch I bought used is the exact winch that would have been installed on my machine, had the original buyer optioned it...
