    Protective chainsaw shoes

    I'm in need of a new pair of chainsaw shoes (or two). In a thread about barefoot shoes and recreational climbing @islandarb said about non barefoot work shoes "folks a trying the wrong boots if there feet a hurting". So that made me wonder what shoes could be a good option for me. Outside work...

    barefoot shoes for climbing?

    I think it would be impossible to find chainsaw protective shoes that don't hurt my feet, but if you have any suggestions... I'm in need of a new pair. Maybe that's one for a new thread. There is an surprising amount of people who like/love/wear barefoot shoes in this workfield.

    barefoot shoes for climbing?

    My feet have changed a lot. Even for barefoot shoes they are wide. There're only a few bands that I fit. Exept for my chainsaw boots, I don't wear regular shoes anymore. I'm glad barefoot shoes are more fashionable than they were 15 years ago. (My first pair I ordered at Soft Star Shoes. At...

    barefoot shoes for climbing?

    I wear barefoot shoes for 15 years now. My feet don't like wearing protective chainsaw boots/shoes, but it's just what it is. Tree climbing for fun I do on my every day, barefoot shoes (and without rope and saddle). I like it much better, as I can feel so much more with my feet. It gives me a...

    Where to start?

    Thanks for the support andalso for the critical notes. I can see tree climbingisn't for everyone. I might be to old ;) and maybe I physicallynever get strong enough. But it ain't over till the fat lady sings. :) In the new year I will buy my own set of climbing gear, so that I can practice on...

    Where to start?

    Took the exam yesterday. Didn't pass. I was to slow ascending the tree to make the TIP in the top of the tree. Rationally that's OK. Emotionally I feel more sad about it than I thought I would.

    Cold weather gloves

    I'm no fan of wearing exam gloves. You get very damp/sweaty hands and it's bad for the health of your skin beca6the gloves don't breathe. Before you know you have a yeast infection.

    Cold weather gloves

    Wearing an electro heated body could help. When your torso is warm, your limbs are a lot warmer too. I used it when riding my motorbike during (Dutch) winters.

    But what does 'punky', 'salami cut', 'cookies' and 'butt rot' mean?

    Where to start?

    Oh, sorry for the mix up. The tree in the yard I climbed without spurres. I never use spurres in a tree that's not going to be taken down. My name is pronounced the same as the first part of the name 'Susan'.

    Where to start?

    After the incident of spurring out I decided to continue climbing in my own pace and to take my schoolexams by platform instead of climbing (you can choose between those options). Two weeks ago a friend of mine offered his yard as practice area and I climbed a walnut together with my classmate...

    Barber chair... when the tree splits in length when felling a tree?

    Terms unique to arboriculture

    This question I meant in general, because without a description every unique arboricultural word in English is abracadabra (common English used in the arboricultural practice I can figure out, most of the times).

    Can you describe what it is in rope that this word refers to?

    Would you guys be so kind and give a description of what the unique word describes? Because to me, it's abracadabra.
