    Tell me about cottonwoods

    to be clear, the tree I worked on certainly wasn’t in dire need of work, just was one of those times where the conversation with the client turns one way and you make a bid that they end up accepting. I’m still on the fence about the work I did, I don’t feel it was a net loss but like a lot of...

    Stolen Stumper and Trailer in MI

    Any development on recovery on this? Damn theives really suck. If they would or could work as hard as they steal…

    Today....

    I bought a bigger truck. I’m hoping it serves for a year or more, low miles for the year and relatively small rust. It’s a tank. Looking forward to locking up gear and towing with ease

    Short vs. Long Bridge?

    Currently I’m running a very short single bridge. I like my system to be close. It’s good for spar work and comfortable for me on rope ascent . Also good for taking slack on the return of limb walks, less arm extension and fatigue in my opinion. I know others that like the adjustable bridge but...

    Tell me about cottonwoods

    The tree that sparked the thread. Pruned yesterday. I didnt get too heavy handed on it, focused on reducing three leads that grow the most towards the garage and home. In retrospect I would like to have done about 3 more cuts. After photo hides two cuts

    Do I have a problem?

    I actually don’t understand the gear obsession myself. Pretty content to keep running the same hitch/RW system Edit: Then again, I might be the weird one. I still use my backpack from grade school, wear the same pants from 10 years ago and use the same three coffee mugs day and day out.

    trees and spirits and stuff

    I get that. I get attached to things as well -both living and inanimate. I had a nice relationship with my first pick up, for example. We’d stay up late and talk for hours sometimes …ok that’s only half true. ;) But I did lose a nice southern red oak at our last house during a hurricane a few...

    Ah, does that add credence to the tales?

    trees and spirits and stuff

    That’s not very comforting :ROFLMAO: Client yesterday told me she witnessed some kind of energy-transfer -vortex -northern-lights kind of thing between a pair of trees . Interesting person and a great person to work for. I pruned some family trees for her and had a blast. It really made her day
