    What kind of tree is this?

    A wooden one! :bananahappy: (Yes, an oldie but a goodie! Don't forget to tip your waitresses!)

    Some things you can't unlearn - you are warned

    Huh. Never heard that before. ;-) I have heard green wood scream after I threw it into the woodstove, though.

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    I've only seen redwoods in person once, when on vacation in CA, but it seemed like the bark was super thick, way thicker than the length of spurs. Does it hurt them to spur up them? Or is the issue that it's unsafe to spur up them because (maybe) the bark isn't strong enough to hold spurs well...

    Reminds me of a story a friend told about being at a concert, and he was sitting right behind the guy running the sound board, and the music was blisteringly loud, so my friend goes up to the sound guy, who's jamming out to the music, and he tries yelling at the guy, "It's TOO F$CKING LOUD!" and...

    My newbie question thread

    I have one, a Buckingham Traverse I bought 10-15 years ago. It's a little bulky and overkill for roofing a house, IMHO. (My OP on this thread related to work practices while re-roofing my house.) I just want something to prevent me from falling off a 12-pitch roof, and a small amount of...

    My newbie question thread

    Feels much more secure with two biners, don't know why I was so dense not to think of it myself, thanks guys. Next question: Carabiner Lubrication? I noticed one of my autolock biners sometimes gets sticky where it will kinda sorta lock, but not completely. Googled how to lubricate carabiners...

    My newbie question thread

    Thanks Climbstihl and Jan. Just to clarify, my prusik loop isn't loaded when I switch from one prusik loop to another...I switch when standing on scaffolding, and could be off-rope if I wanted, but just prefer to stay clipped-in whenever up there...I mean, I get it that it could be bad if I fell...

    My newbie question thread

    Rather than start a new thread with every dumb question I have, I figured I'd start one thread and put them all into the same thread as I go along, so it won't pollute the forum (and so you all can ignore the thread if you want)... Here's a question about "dipping lines" or "dipping loops"...

    My scary black cherry removal

    Thanks, guys, this all sounds like great advice. The main dead limb I'm concerned about is up high and directly overhead from where I'll be cutting but maybe it's not that much of a hazard yet. (I'll try to add a pic of it tomorrow.) Good idea on trying to pull the dead limbs down with a rope...

    My scary black cherry removal

    Hey, guys, I have a diseased and lightning-wrecked 20" DBH black cherry I need to take down in the yard, as it has some dead limbs and a massive canker going most of the way through. It's becoming a hazard. I'm not an arborist but plan to take it down myself. I want to fall it toward the...

    Fumble fingers

    Yep, somewhere along the line I saw a thing on the Internet where some guy bought some really crazy strong weapons-grade magnets, I forget what he was doing with them but they got too close together and grabbed each other with one or two of his fingertips in-between. Lots of blood, and I think a...

    Limb with concrete

    Why do people put concrete in trees? "Concretion Of Decay In Trees"??? Seems crazy, but I'm not an arborist. It's gotta be great for chainsaws.
