    SRT - Gear advice

    So diplomatic. This was news to me, thanks for informing. Would rather chip briars with a chuck n duck than have to have a beer with any one of these dolts. https://platteriverequity.com/team/

    Crane removal of tree on house

    Just did this Friday with a 40 something inch dbh red oak. It took 5-6 picks to get it clear of the house. Just look at it like minesweeper. Clear the easy stuff and the heady stuff reveals itself. I would think you’d be operating under an insurance claim so time really shouldn’t be the driving...

    When factoring in speed of cut between 200t and electric, factor in the 20 minutes spent tuning the carb at full throttle at 7:30am waking up the entire neighborhood.

    Is there a Silky folding saw that folds and stays folded?

    Agreed. Exceptional build, amazing holster which far outlasts the zubat holster.

    Is there a Silky folding saw that folds and stays folded?

    The inferior quality of the gomboy blew my mind when I took it up the tree. The blade bent making a routine cut... and aside from that, the saw folded open adjacent to lanyard, wrist, etc. it didn’t make it through the first climb before I trashed it. Astonished, since a Zubat can last years...

    Strength of dead ash

    ‘I also have deliberately hung some of them against other trees so they drop piece by piece near vertically.’ I like that idea. And skinning them up with a throwline. I like anything that keeps you from climbing these trees. Mid trunk failure is what I see with the trees that have been dead 2...

    Sourwood Tree Identification

    Photos can’t do them justice. There’s so many here but the canopy is thick and it’s hard to get a good snap. Its awesome that sourwoods are making their way into landscapes like the ones you shared. I’d be curious to see how they look in 10, 20 years. Coming up in a rich cove forest underneath...

    Sourwood Tree Identification

    Curious what other sourwoods you are seeing around you? In landscapes or forests? I grew up in Rehoboth but it wasn’t until I moved to NC that I met this tree. It’s one of my top three favorites. It’s the natural form ones that are so striking- usually quite bent and curvy with a striking mix of...

    Sourwood Tree Identification

    I was climbing a lot of sourwoods today down here in Western NC. Most had a red orange hue but some had golden leaves and some were still green. This looks like a sourwood but I’m not 100 percent. Should flower when 3-4 years old. I think you’re on the cusp. Are you in Maine? I’m reading a...

    Foot locking SRT with Zigzag/Chicane. Bare-bones SRT.

    Also been working to minimize SRT setup. I switched to a two handed ascender though. Really helps my body mechanics with the foot lock, although I’m still crawling in comparison to the speed I have with foot ascender. hoping to get faster. Will require many pop tarts worth of calories. Are you...

    Buyer error. Had no idea about this extra X and it’s importance. Local husq dealer hasn’t even heard of this saw so I had to get it online and have been kind of in the dark. Will sub for the X and I imagine that was the problem. Thank you so much!

    Adding ring to lanyard?

    Haven’t picked one up in a while. Just looked it up, looks like Treestuff has them in stock.

    Adding ring to lanyard?

    I used a petzl open O for years on my 200t and loved the way it hung on my harness, very tight. I think this should do exactly what you’re trying to do.

    T540lixp thoughts.

    Thank you, I figured it was a bad idea. Just had to voice my inner demons. I wonder. The standard amp hour battery, which I use, is 5.2 and the next size up is the biggest at 9.something. Saw one IRL and it looked like it might change the whole balance of the saw, in addition to being a bit...
