    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    The mocking "doink" sound of getting shot-blocked over and over by a Silver Maple lives rent-free in my head. It's always off by about 1.5" when it happens

    Siberians are thirsty mofos. They're like a hose at the stump when they're big like that especially!

    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    Good old double-bagging. A must know skill for efficiency and getting the perfect spot.

    Cold and snowy climbing/ working

    Real wool is your friend. I'm almost never too cold to work. I'm a cold hardy person at baseline but with thin wool layers I'm good with just thin gloves on all day and my feet are comfortable enough to keep working. Army surplus polypropylene long underwear are almost as good as wool...

    Rock Exotica Down Rigger - SOLD

    This is a great tool, not just for solo rigging. If you're in a tree with no place for a portawrap, this saves the day.

    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    Another important thing is to give yourself some grace. Some days are first shot at a tough spot and some are 20 shots at an easy one. It's just like that for most of us. Gloves are a menace for throwing but a must for pulling up your climb line in my opinion. I have also been trying to pass...

    Reputable chainsaw tuner

    Kevin Lavanway here is Michigan does excellent work and is reasonably priced. I have a 362 he ported and had a 201 rear handle that was my favorite saw to use until it got stolen. I can give you contact info if you want. @davidwyby has a saw done by Kevin and I'm sure he can comment.

    Hey who do you use? We've been struggling with equipment whack-a-mole lately and this seems like a great solution.

    Trees from a distance

    Is it a Ficus of some sort?

    Squirrel Damage

    I'd assume that the choices for what to hunt with are limited to larger birds like female Red-tailed Hawks and Great Horned Owls, etc? That analysis makes sense. Plenty of easier meals to be had for the resident birds but bring in a team of hungry birds and make a big dent, then leave.

    Food Thread

    I was going to say the same thing. Those look like Fuyu to me. We have a few American Persimmons around here and they're usually edible once they fall off the tree, kinda like Paw Paws. The trick is getting them before the critters do!

    That looks like a giant axe handle

    Is it a big no-no around your islands to tie rocks to a log(tree) and just sink it, providing your in deep enough water to avoid contacting the bottom of watercraft?

    New RopeRunner?!?

    I have used the original Runner a bunch, and the Rope Wrench is my most used device. I've used the RRP only when climbing on a co-workers system, but I really do like the Vertec. I feel that for me, the ease of ascent and the consistency of controllable release when you have a hitch dialed in...

    Bid that tree!

    I'm guessing it would need to be limbed up in order to do that so probably more. How much does it cost to get there? What are the risks? Lots to factor in. If it could be felled as a single tree over the cliff with some great wedge action or creating pulling, yeah $450. Tie a huge rock to...

    Send that thing off the cliff in big pieces and go home! Underwater structure fish habitat.
