    Small Jobs

    All good advice. Adding those jobs to a day of bigger work usually ends up making a day really profitable!

    Arbsession

    Just want to sing Arbsession's praises again. I reached out to see about getting a replacement ratchet buckle and some screws for the Spikepod gaff strap set I bought and Casey contacted the manufacturer right away. They opted to send me a whole new set because the style had changed at no cost...

    New Ascender from Reg Coates

    I think the idea that someone who would choose Arborplex as a climb line is also keen to buy the latest and greatest mechanical is a bit strange and not in keeping with reality, but I'm sure they've ran the numbers like good capitalists.

    I fell yesterday

    Glad it wasn't worse and you're telling the story with an unbroken body. We don't have Raywood Ash in our neck of the woods. Anyone know of a Midwest equivalent for reference, in terms of characteristics?

    Removing trees that others were hurt in

    I've never had this experience with a tree, but I have had something that is along these lines. My best friend was killed on his motorcycle late one night riding around too fast on surface roads. 1000cc sportbike, no perception of danger, total thrill-seeker personality. He was a larger than...

    Hitch Runner? What is this sorcery??

    I think another option is a dog bone that comes in 2 pieces and screws together like a sex bolt, and to mitigate the weak point of connection it could slip inside a tight bushing that sits between the two cheek plates of the runner.

    Hitch Runner? What is this sorcery??

    A dog bone variation that fits in place of the slic pin?

    Hitch Runner? What is this sorcery??

    I may try it. Looks like a Singing Tree iteration of the hitch hiker, with the friction below the hitch instead of above, and with good tending given the pulley.

    Burning out

    Don't forget that a lot of the work we do for people is discretionary, meaning they are choosing to have it done and don't NEED to have it done. I keep this in mind when someone is trying to get us to lower the price on a job that is dangerous and therefore priced accordingly. Need and want...

    Burning out

    You have to decide when meeting other's expectations is less important than having a life you enjoy. The only one who can give you a break is you. 90 hours a week??? Eff that noise. Say no to work that you don't want, is less profitable or is excessively hard on people or equipment. Never...

    What to do with the retrieval line?

    6mm is fine, just try and get it out of the way. Loop it around a fence post or rock or branch or whatever to keep it tangle free, or tie a throw ball on the end so it doesn't move around.

    RC Grapple

    I've used it probably 10 times since buying it and find it superior to the Captain in every way. Easier to hook, unhook and throw.
