    climbing with big saws

    I just hang it on my saddle and try and get the work done efficiently and get out of the tree. I never wear suspenders.

    ART BlackBird for "MRT and SRT"

    I fell asleep watching it and woke up to him saying “nobody is still watching and they’ve probably fallen asleep”

    The most wrecked chipper knives I've ever seen.

    My crew did a small chipping job this week and the next day we changed the blades. On one of the blades there was a chip on the cutting edge about the size of half a dime. Was a new set of blades when we installed them. The customer called and asked why we didn’t do a better job on the brush...

    With that kind of damage it looks like they wanted to be fired.

    I got around 90 emails. Rather annoying.

    Watch out for underground bee and hornet nests

    I think they are going for the salt. I live in the woods and have certain spots where I consistently take a leak. The honeybees are all over those spots at different times of the year. We have plenty of water available for them but they know what they need and where to get it.

    Watch out for underground bee and hornet nests

    This time of year we always encounter ground nests. Usually it happens when I’m up in the tree and I look down and see the ground crew getting hammered by the little buggers. Then the fun part comes when I have to figure out how to get out of the tree without getting stung.

    Can anyone ID this throw bag's vintage?

    You should send a picture to Nice Guy Dave at Wesspur and see if it is something they made. Looks similar to one they made for a while.

    Bad Petzl, Good Bartlett Arborist Supply

    No thanks on the twist locks. The only carabiners I’ll use for climbing are Petzl Am’D, oval ball locks, or Rock Exotica Rock O carabiners.

    No thanks. We don’t have a bucket truck or lift at this point.

    Bad Petzl, Good Bartlett Arborist Supply

    I’ve been climbing on Petzl harnesses exclusively for over a decade and have used those same buckles thousands of times and never had a failure. Even climbing in the rain doing removals where the buckles get packed with wet sawdust I just bang them out and right back to work. Every...

    Free faller SoCal

    I think if you are going to be realistic about pay rates and are willing to take a pay cut and be an apprentice there are likely opportunities. What I’ve heard from one timber operator around here is that most of the fallers are in their 60s and sometimes older. Most companies are switching to...

    Which „extras“ do you find essential for a wheel-loader ?

    I like the heated seat on the Avant.

    Logos, branding, shirts, etc.

    We have the truck with the logo on it and the crew usually wears company t-shirts or hoodies.

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    This is really similar to our current pace. We are about to lose a guy going out on his own and if anything I’m looking at it as a positive.

    XM

    My F-350 has this “feature” and occasionally gets bumped into that audio source and it is always blaring some stupid conservative talk radio bullshit. I’d probably get on board if there was a way to delete it or disable it.

    Weight calculation app

    https://www.woodweb.com/cgi-bin/calculators/calc.pl?calculator=log_weight This one is nice because you can enter small end diameter and large end diameter. Would be interesting to check both with a crane.
