    I take your point.

    DownRigger, Rigging Wrench (or Scarab, or....)??

    Nice try, but not taking the bait.

    Would you climb these dead trees?

    Set a line as high as practicable and do a pull test. Then, yes.

    DownRigger, Rigging Wrench (or Scarab, or....)??

    No my tongue does not get scraped. I had no idea it was a thing tbh. As for the downrigger et al, it’ll find its way from toolbox on the truck, to a shelf in the workshop, where it’ll gather dust till retirement for most. A solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

    The most wrecked chipper knives I've ever seen.

    Hmm, not really, luddites destroyed machines because the technology was taking their jobs, hence its current usage as someone who is scared or refuses to embrace new tech. Saboteurs destroy as a way of hurting bosses or some other version of ‘the man’

    The most wrecked chipper knives I've ever seen.

    Not luddites… saboteurs. The name comes from French workers throwing clogs (or sabots) in the machines to wreck them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabotage Having read the wiki link it appears I’m wrong!

    Hiring a climber/ employee from out of area

    Trees are trees, they’ll soon pick up the local skinny. Just try not to micro-manage them too much……you know what you’re like Sean!

    Work shirts with business logo?

    Get all cotton, you‘ll sweat a lot but the poly ones get a BO smell that the material mémorises, so 5 minutes after you put it on in the morning you reek of rancid BO

    business value evaluation

    When I left the UK I tried to sell my business. No dice. I ended up giving my phone numbers to the girl who worked for me. Her husband is a climber, so they got a few jobs out of it till I ceased to exist in clients minds.

    Overuse Injuries

    My knees have been giving me issues, so I worked out that dragging heavy loads of brash to the chipper is the cause. So I don’t do that anymore. I never found any aspect of climbing gave any issues. It’s always been ground work that gives me problems.

    Dealing with different types of people in business

    If you’re busy its easy to get rid of clients you hate, in fact it’s a pleasure. If you’re not (and I’m not fighting them off with a shitty stick atm) you have to swallow it.

    There’s always another tree. Winchman still has work to do!

    Large, uprooted doug-fir laying into another doug-fir... thoughts?

    So you can use 1 GRCS to tighten up a rope, put it on a POW, then just move the GRCS to another tree and do it again ad infinitum? Hadn’t thought of that.

    How's the work flow?

    Sean, I’m not hanging around outside of schools! The judge told me I’d go straight back inside if I did that again.
