The Arborist Funny Pages!
A guy walks into a bank. He goes up to the teller and states boldly,"I want to open a bloody bank account!" The teller replies,"What for sir?" He says,"To iron my shirts you idiot! what do you think you moron, to put money in!" The teller nearly fainting from the shock gasps "you can't talk to...- EdenT

Name 10 reasons why you shouldnt top
In homeowner language - A topped tree is like a car that's been in a bad accident. You can try and fix it up but it will cost a heap of money and never be the same again. Would you buy a car that was repaired after a bad accident?- EdenT

Port a wrap oddity
I have never used either the hobbs or grcs, guess I am a poor tree climber. Like most things the tool is only as good as the user. When I first started, the groundie I learned to use them off always bought the load to a screaming halt (the climber usually doing most of the screaming), and then...- EdenT

Port a wrap oddity
Ahh the internet what an invention. Port-a-wraps are generally sold as aluminium, nickel plated steel and powder coated steel. From Wiki Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder...- EdenT

Port a wrap oddity
I have had this occur on a painted porty to. I only barely remember it so it didn't cause a problem, but was enough to make me take note. I think we were using a polyester rope. From the anecdotes above though I begin to suspect the paint being used to coat them. Maybe what a fabricator thinks...- EdenT

Vermeer BC 1500 - vs - Rhino
Wow those are great pictures! Do the animals cause you any trouble? I bet a troupe of monkeys could give you a few headaches while climbing. Whatever you do, don't let them get their hands on a chainsaw. I must say if you were running a tote I would back the Rhino over the Vermeer any day. Now...- EdenT

Dead (and Undead) Wood
The point was that detritivores and parasites are usually very adaptable invertebrates with short lifespans and high rates of reproduction. This statement does not apply to most vertebrates as their longer life spans and relatively low reproduction rate prevents evolutionary adaption at a fast...- EdenT

Dead (and Undead) Wood
To answer that question you would need to know the environmental tolerances and requirements of the particular endangered organism. I guess you could say that life will exist pretty much anywhere but tree eating life will only exist where trees exist (but then it will adapt to eat grass).- EdenT

Dead (and Undead) Wood
Gee whizz my fuddled brain. I just checked. Its only 29.1%. My earlier figures come from Marine science and were more to do with the amount of oceanic surface area (so lumping terrestrial land and freshwater environments together as excluded from that perspective.) Heres some data - Surface...- EdenT
