    Tree failed with no warning

    I am probably most curious where the "no warning" statement came from... Was that something a reporter wrote because that's how they see it or it makes for a more catchy headline? Did a neighbor or homeowner say that? Or did another member of the crew who has been climbing trees for 37 years and...

    you said "with no warning"...do you know more than the news report quoted?

    Avant Thread!

    The beep is tied to the switch not the pins (at least in my 528). If you have the pins up when you turn the machine off, it puts them back down when you turn the machine off. But even if you leave the switch down, it doesn't lift them back up when you start the machine again...so pins down but...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I can muscle my compressor around, but its not fun. It is a little bit of a tight turn to get it into the barn where I keep it, then 80' back through a tight stretch to the back corner (on stone, so not going to push it by hand). It has always been a pain. I made a trailer hitch mount for the...

    Avant Thread!

    Incessantly. I get it! I'm just switching implements! I know! But where I wish it would continue to beep is if a pin misses the hole and doesn't go down...I'd like it to keep beeping then. When I bought it, the dealer suggested always tipping it down to take a peek at that. Or watch the...

    Bracing rod sweetgum?

    He said "heavy". If the angle works, and the branch ratio works that's better than removal... or breaking. Other options: Yellow line which I like less. One of the forks at the blue circle. I'm not convinced that's enough.

    New device from ISC

    It does seem to be more comfortable/easier to control oriented so the MRS attachment holes are facing the climber.

    Bracing rod sweetgum?

    Reduce to here...is that branch big enough? If you do that, is supplemental support even needed?

    New device from ISC

    Needed the long rope today...used the Reflex on All Gear's Cherry Bomb 11.8mm today. MRS. Long rope walk up (I know...should have done that SRS then switched over, but I didn't). Performed flawlessly.

    Do I quit the best job I ever got?

    If you are making $60K (single - which I know you said you are married with kids...but just an example): 22% federal 7.65% fica (another 7.65% fica if you own your own business...) 3% California State 31% isn't out of the question for even lower end of middle class income. Oh...yeah, city...
