    TreeStuff $75 Ships-Today-Guarantee

    Treestuff was great before it sold, I ordered everything from them. Then things got slow for a while and communication wasn't good so I started buying from a different supplier who's been great. Ordered from treestuff a few months ago, got a few glasses and an orange kask on clearance... ratchet...

    I’m a big back but I don’t need a big back for my saddle.

    New saddle for heavy guy?

    Wondering what saddle all of the heavier guys are currently climbing. My new tribe onyx is getting tired and I’m looking to replace it. Obvious replacement is the monkey beaver 2.0 But the Tree Rex 2 also has my attention as well. I’m 5’11”, 310lbs before gear, and waist fluctuates between...

    Five Dead Ash Lift Vs Climbing

    I use towable lifts occasionally on super dead or crispy trees, not just ash. I can't guarantee that it's honestly any faster but its definitely a safer more reliable option. If you thought you were gonna be in a time pinch as far as completing in one day I'd focus on just getting the...

    On call emergency response for Municipality's

    When i did line clearance the utility had a cell phone for on call and all crew leaders were on a weekly rotation for on call. You just took the phone for your week and it was your responsibility. You got an extra 2$/hr on your regular check for on call weeks as well. You knew your rotation so...

    That goofy dork looking guy Nick from Tree Stuff can shove it.

    Me personally.... I feel like you give more of a Steve-O from jackass vibe..... but in a tree type of way!

    Overuse Injuries

    You're probably gonna think I'm stupid but the best things that I think have personally kept me moving well are: *A good chiropractor - Someone that can get extended relief for you, not having to go in three times a week to some bullshit chain clinic. *Good boots - I wear Hoffman Powerlines...

    Burning out

    You have to set some boundaries for yourself and stick to them. Me personally I don't work weekends or to late into the afternoon. I know what my overhead and operating cost are and bid accordingly. Jobs get booked in the order that people agree to them unless it is an immediate hazard/storm...

    Tractor, skid steer, or excavator?

    My vote is wheel loader. They're good on yards, don't require super heavy trailers, have a good lift height and fair lift capacity as well.

    Chainsaw Shopping

    I guess it depends on what flavor of saw you prefer. As far as light toppers go I believe a lot of people are gravitating towards modded Echo 2511. I personally use all husqvarna. Top handle is the T540xp Mk3 (which absolutely isn't light) with the west coast saws muffler and dogs and its...

    Onyx saddle chainsaw holder placement?

    I climb with the onyx still. I’ve used the petzl caritools forever (with no issue). I don’t use the stock ring on my saws though. I had a local leather shop make a short lanyard with a ring. Much easier to grab and hang saw on saddle again.

    Husky T540XP III

    I have had a few months on the t540xpMkiii now with the westcoast saws muffler. I can tell you that you will probably want to get some small lock washers to help hold the muffler on, as I rattled it off once. The saw with the muffler is an absolute raped ape. I can get majority of a tree down...
