    Habits for Longevity in Arboriculture & Life

    So... when I say HABIT, this is what I mean... there are 4 stages: 1) Cue 2) Craving 3) Response & 4) Reward So... yes, cutting within your power zone is totally a great practice to maintain your shoulders. AND a super great example! ... But we'd break it down 1 Cue - the cut is above eye...

    Habits for Longevity in Arboriculture & Life

    I did see that, however it was in the category of Competitions... so I was trying to keep it separated as only a minute amount of tree industry folk compete in tree comps.

    Purposively Designed Chainsaw Protection for Women

    I've been working in the high sierras of California,USA for the past 4 weeks... climbing through furs, cedars, and pines all day, 5-6 days a week. The Gen2 clogger saw pants are totally holding their own. I haven't had any major snags or tears, aaaaand it isn't too difficult cleaning off all the...

    Question on the Humboldt cut

    When dropping/ chunking out trunk wood, I've found that the Humboldt does tend to pop the pieces off away from the trunk and more often than not, land flat. ... 60% of the time, it works every time. Living on the east coast, preserving millable wood isn't a huge concern, but not putting large...

    Cloggers Zeros

    @Magnum783 Sorry...I guess I was one of the lucky ones that got the customs without the service fee straight thru Clogger. @GregManning is right, I'm pretty bad at going on here everyday... and, yes, I have lived in CLT for almost 3 years now.

    Tree Climbing Competitions 2017

    Hahaha, and once again, Canada seems to do it better, eh! (I'll be suggesting this to CAA if someone else doesn't beat me to it... I think spots could also be reserved for (inter)nationally ranked climbers as well to draw in greater competition and knowledge to share with err'one)
