    Climate change in your life and work

    As to the methane: we produce ooooodles of it in our landfills, livestock feedlots, sludge systems etc and there are existing and profitable systems to capture. Tighten up our infrastructure efficiency (fiscally conservative vertical integration) while producing domestic energy from waste...

    Climate change in your life and work

    Coal and oil etc are renewable, assuming we bury enough dinosaurs and whatnot. No need to change our ways for any reason, ya damn sheep.

    Nesting birds and tree workers

    Quality and always nice to hear people who are ethical and decent. Sadly/disturbingly that is often not the case.

    Technique for climbing dead tree while TIP in another.

    That sounds like a fine policy and smart. The unsaid caveat being some living trees are more of a death trap than some dead ones; there are many living trees that you+I would choose not to climb too. We climb a fair amount of dead white pine and red oak which are stable beyond yr 1, and then...

    Texting a business card

    Gone 11 yrs without a website, and probably 8yrs of saying I should get a website. Just having a FAQ list to point people to would be nice.

    Technique for climbing dead tree while TIP in another.

    Once you start using them you'll never go back. Or perhaps we're climbing more iffy trees?? Just having one on to dampen rigging loads or reduce climbing wiggle, even if the tree is solid, makes life more pleasant. Can then be the pull rope for the peg. We put in two to triangulate a dead oak...

    Storing a branch manager

    Don't grab a log and disconnect, more pressure in lines will make re-attaching no fun. Also don't leave in the sun for extended time for the same reason. SOP: Open most of the way, turn off machine, cycle to relieve pressure then disconnect. As the arms are open you place those down then back...

    Oak Bramble?

    Annoying flip side is insurance company will pay for one. Had a storm damaged mult-stem ash yrs ago that had cracked and was bumping into the deck each puff of wind, "we only pay for it if the tree falls on the house"! So much cheaper one way but HO has to foot the bill, also if the insurance...
