    Invaders!!

    I'm the same. You might convince me the worms are invaders. Tell me I need to pay to fix it, I'm at an impasse. Tell me "we' need to spray chemicals on it to "fix" it and I'll be more adamantly against it. Tell me you need to violate my long standing property rights to fix it and then possibly...

    Invaders!!

    I have a pretty "far on the other side of things" type of view. I don't want to do things to introduce invasive things. Like others I don't like big sweeping changes to things we hold dear, like wooded forests and native plants. On the other hand I don't believe we can do anything about it...

    Answering service

    I decided to skip doing my own window replacements in my house. I had a local company come and do them instead. The web signup was nice. It popped up with a calendar. I could see a bunch of future open dates. In 5 minutes I knew when they were coming for an estimate and how long they would be at...

    ARBOR WHERE? a.k.a "goodbye sherrill tree & arborwear"

    My 1990's era Carhartt jacket sill lives on to this day. My 2014 on is pretty much unwearable already. It is junk in comparison. In this case they are both labeled as "Made in the USA" as part of their lineup that is still made here. I bought it partly because the company was based in Detroit...

    this is what happens when you tip tie a large vertical limb

    I can't comment in an intelligent way about the use of various methods for tip tie of limbs and tress sections. I only use that method in a few rare cases. As such I've only used it a few times. Daniel's description is exactly why. I have a very good grasp on physics, and I am pretty darn good...

    ARBOR WHERE? a.k.a "goodbye sherrill tree & arborwear"

    Ok. I'll take the bait this morning. So you bought a product that was not marketed or advertised in recent years as being made in the USA, but it is the vendors fault because you didn't ask? It sounds like the stuff was properly labeled as to the country of origin when you got it. Anyone in any...

    Single rope or double rope ascension?

    In my opinion any new climber should have the mindset that they are going to learn both. It is a major advantage to be able to skip isolating a line on a single branch. I often climb in trees that have high complex canopy structure with few low branches. This can be a big advantage when using...

    Omme 90’ arborist track lift!

    Not my business to run but here in my state (MI) my sales tax license booklet, and the state web site states: "Use tax of 6 percent must be paid on the total price (including shipping and handling charges) of all taxable items brought into Michigan or purchases by mail from out-of-state...

    Purchased rope ends

    . It is very refreshing to hear from a member of any forum that has a very high post count that recognizes that the tone matters. I make my own decisions about when and how often I visit anyplace on the web. What you describe matters, and it matters to me. It sounds like I should start...

    Smaller company vs. large corporation...the struggle is real.

    There is no perfect answer. Most people don't make their whole career at one company. If you go an work with a big outfit, you have to know that if will operate like a big corporation. The old saying, the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing, applies. If the other people's pay and...

    Gas or Diesel HD pickup?

    I agree on the MPG, but in my experience 5 to 6 MPG is quite low. I don't disagree with the MPG split in general, but it can be very hard to pinpoint the real difference. My experience is that a mostly fully loaded V10 gets about 9mpg. There are 100 factors, like speed, the driver, and the drive...

    The difference between Moon Pies and Cheese Sandwiches, and the Origin of the MI Knot

    A search on the TC1 memeber post's make it easy to see the naming history here on treebuzz. The first few lines are summarized. I became curious when I saw 19 posts - member since 2007. The knot looks interesting, the controversy not so much. I may give the knot a try. Thanks for the picture...

    Dealing with Bad Review / Unhappy Customer

    So how much time are you going to spend worrying about this one bad customer? You already did recover with the other 10-15 good reviews. If you really want the "iron clad" best online response, give them their money back. Then post a rebuttal, short and sweet. Say you regret that you couldn't...

    Lazy or Clever?

    30' a minute I presume. What happens if you exceed that ascent rate physically/mechanically?

    amazing squirrels' survival

    Squirrels have that weird thing cats have where they can fall great distances and not be killed, often not even injured. Even the non-flying ones. There was a radio article recently where they talked about a old study. NY vet started to keep track of cat falls out of high rise buildings . I...

    tree stuff, its been real....

    I'm glad to hear someone thinks this selfish mess is an eyesore. I'm sorry I posted in this thread. I'm also new here, and I have to wonder what the rest of the quieter members here think. It seems I've found a clique'. You either think like the clique' or you will be told off, with persistent...

    How do you attach your chainsaw to your lanyard & saddle?

    I don't like the big hooks. I also don't use a break away lanyard. I'm also pretty cheap. I use a "s-biner" from a company called "Nite Ize". I clip it fully around the belt of my saddle, between the back pad and the belt. They come in different sizes, and the one I have is big enough it can...

    Making picks over energized lines?

    This. ITC seems really good about this. Just be prepared to wait a month or three if they don't deem it as threatening. They seem to want to do a "10 year" cutback, so your customer should be prepared for a chop job if it isn't a removal. I'm sure the process and response varies depending on who...

    Looks like a good deal on rope so I ordered one. Not got it yet.

    I have some very similar stuff that I bought at the orange box store years ago. It was about $10 more at the time. I don't use it for anything critical, but it is nice to have it for general use stuff. One section of it holds a kayak on the garage ceiling at my home. It also is useful for...

    Sideloading climbing rings

    First I want to say that I love these conversations. I think we can evolve as a group involved in a risky endeavor if we share our thoughts and info. Thank you for sharing Hatchetation. People will often flock to the highest MBS, or some property or claim such as a the numbering of the...
