    If you had to share 1 thing.....

    Three things my crew leader taught me: 1. Never settle. Rope angle and work positioning are crucial so don’t settle for “good enough” TIP. 2. Strengthen your position. Work so each cut or move places you in position for the next cut or move. 3. If it’s not a razor it’s dull. Keep cutting tools...

    Cool pics and story! I’ve always wanted to try my hand at smithing. So mine are kinda . . . different. I taught myself to knit when my oldest was 5. I’ve been doing it off and on for the past 12 years. Since I had daughters, was living in tight quarters, and needed something to do with my hands...

    WTB: Throwline, throw balls and cube

    Hi folks. My 11 yo daughter is putting a climbing kit together and she needs to buy a throwline/ throw ball set up and cube to store it in. Anybody have a extra set up they would like to sell? She’d like a 8 and 12 oz weight. I know we could use other options for storage but a cube fits in her...

    ^This. Thanks for the reminder to be kind and patient. I too often forget that especially when it comes to my 17 yo.

    Kids running saws

    Hi Steve. Yep I agree with you. My youngest helps me on jobs but it mostly brush moving. We don’t have a chipper and she never runs a saw on a job site. Not good juju. I respect your opinion and you’ve see more than I have with your EMT background. We have a small homestead so my girls have...

    Thanks Tom! I appreciate you helping me sharpen my social skills. I’ll be the first to admit I need to grow in that area. You are right about that and I apologize for being offensive. So a PPE hawk? Thanks again!

    Kids running saws

    I agree that you are the best judge for your kid. I’ve got 2 daughters, 17 and 11. The 17 yo is artsy and while she does well rigging her eye hand coordination and situational awareness are not as good as her 11 yo sister. My 17 yo will not be on saw ever. Just not her talent. She’s not weak or...

    Removing EAB trees

    I’ll chime in. I live in SW Virginia and have very few EAB ash tree climbs under my belt and I climbed my last ash two weeks ago for a friend. On our backroad a 12” dbh ash broke 3’ from the base after a windy day. Seeing that stump every day is a reminder to send any ash trees I can’t drop to...

    Today....

    This morning- Naomi- Dad, can I wear whatever I want today? Me-Sure little kid. This is what she came down in. T shirt was mine and it shrunk. It is now one of her favorites.

    Do you let customers help with work?

    I’ve had folks ask and always say no as kindly as possible. Too much liability.
