    Tie-In-Point Backup?

    except that one would almost certainly have those two ropes along side one another, and it seems like of a saw cut one rope it would cut the adjacent rope equally

    Tie-In-Point Backup?

    Funny how that fails to make redundant the weakest part of the system. The only thing that really covers you for is if you failed to setup your system correctly, but it takes so little to verify that you did set it up properly, I don’t see the benefit. Seems like a nationalized system designed...

    Bored backcuts/ anti-barberchair/ anti-fiber pull Thread

    I put him back on ignore and strongly encourage anyone tired of his bullshit to do the same. It's rare that I have to actually see what he said, I can infer from whatever someone responds which kind of bullshit he was spouting

    Bored backcuts/ anti-barberchair/ anti-fiber pull Thread

    Just two weeks or so ago, I had unblocked him for the first time in a year and a half. Back on ignore, probably for good this time.

    Safety Incentive Program

    I have never seen an incentive program, but I have also never felt great about working with guys that keep hitting the ground with the saws, or damaging the machines being careless. I would certainly love a bonus for not being an asshole, but when I think about working with guys who don't earn...

    DIY Tree Squeeze - Share your ideas

    True, but I generally don't climb for other companies anymore, so I'll do what I like. I feel plenty safe doing it with a steel carabiner with a rated gate. If they can handle rigging with them the way I have, then they can handle me swinging around on them. Obviously separate rigging and life...

    DIY Tree Squeeze - Share your ideas

    Yea, so same same here, but we get a lot of tall conifers like that around here, and often enough the good branches to throw in to are nowhere near the top. I was trying to get smooth using an AFS but it just doesn't flip up like a steel core. That said, I think to answer the original question...

    DIY Tree Squeeze - Share your ideas

    I get that for the first half of the job, on the way up, but what about trees over 100' to the TIP? how long will you spend, on average, to get a TIP set up there, and what do you do to be quick and smooth on the way down? I can set a line 160' up, but like 27RMTON said, sometimes there ain't...

    I never really looked into it, and never knew anyone that had one, but that does sound super useful in our envronment. I would probably get one today if I were still climbing daily.

    Root Collar Excavation/ Stem-girdling Root Pruning thread

    The cost of the rental is what it is until I can buy the compressor. I understand it will cost me some small jobs early on, but like I said, it is what it is.

    Root Collar Excavation/ Stem-girdling Root Pruning thread

    Air spade has been number one on my list of "what tool should I get next" for a year or so now. I think I will be the first company with one in my home county if I can make it happen soon enough.
