    Bucket Truck Boom Failure

    First big company i worked for had 2- 2 man buckets. 1 guy cuts 1 guy throws into a neat pile for clam truck or loader to pick up. In the right scenario you could tear through a removal.

    reg coates climbing and rigging is next level

    I dont either, seems overkill. ive seen him use the technique in other videos and the tagline goes limp after cutting so i assume thats it

    Im guessing its an adjustable tie off allowing the groundie to use the tail as tagline.

    Syrup from the Twin Cities

    Ive got lots of birch at the hunting shack in various states of decline. Ive heard as high as 100:1 for birch syrup and has to be cooked at a simmer vs a rolling boil. I think ill just buy it

    Syrup from the Twin Cities

    Boxelder is often reported to have butterscotch tones for flavor. I dont know general ratios for boxelder. Lots of reports of high sugar content (4%) with our odd spring in the TC metro. Trees are flowered and still producing "clean" sap. Its a weird year for syrup

    Very Honest Arborist Podcast

    Many of the older guys are broken and barely making it to retirement without physical issues but the retirement/healthcare is kind of rigged to keep you working. It has me rethinking it as a career path. 100k up here was more than enough until 5 years ago. Fact of the matter is no trade is...

    Ive been out a few years but top out around 35-40 pr hr as an employee but you gotta have cdl, isa, applicators etc to command that. Its sad because i distinctly remember a foreman saying he made that much when i started at a big company around here in 2009ish

    Electrician, plumber, hvac,fire union apprx $60 pr hr plus bennies here in mn. Even low volt, carpenter, laborer apprx $45 pr hr. Outside of commercial construction the 100k mark certainly seems less attainable for any trade

    Tree Work Vehicles

    You can. A guy used to have one off an atv trailer, so maybe 8-10ft boom? Mounted to back of a flatbed trailer. I remember looking into it a handful of years back but was too expensive for my needs
