    Another death in NJ

    I have seen them on the road once. What a really sad story. It's bad enough to lose a kid but when you are there to witness it, it's just something I could not imagine.

    Today's job

    Re: Today\'s job Nice pics there Mark. Those big ones are always real fun to do, my favorite actually. Noticed Rory stated up with his saw, but in the second pic I didn't see it. Guess he thought better of try to FL up with it slowing him down. GJ.

    opinions on an oak

    If the tree is right next to the post offices parking lot, why not use a bucket or a lift to do the work that needs to be done? Definitly seems like the safe way to go. As well I would remove it. The crack will never heal and only get worse. Rods and cables would only hold it for so many years...

    What would you recommend with this tree

    Doesn't seem to be much of a tree to keep. Looks like it would be safe to save for now but hardly worth it. Also it looks like the tree was planted in a gully were water is likely to keep the ground moist. Once the tree gets bigger and with some wind and wet ground I wouldn't risk it.

    Saddles: Bare Naked or Mr. Bo-Jangles

    They said that it will be shipped on Jan. 5th I believe. I will give a full review 1 week after I recieve it to let you guys know what I think of it. Still waiting to hear about the hitch climber though. Treeworker.uk said it would be available this month, and I was hoping someone might have...

    Saddles: Bare Naked or Mr. Bo-Jangles

    Was just try to get some ideas to attach it but I think I came up with something. There are so many attachment points on the motion that I think I will able to take a keychain biner and attach the belt loop to it and then clip the biner to the saddle in a horizontal position. I like everything...

    Saddles: Bare Naked or Mr. Bo-Jangles

    [ QUOTE ] Buy a pair of Arborwear tech pants, then put your leatherman in one of the cargo pockets, easily accessible below your saddle. The $75 solution!! [/ QUOTE ] Already have them but it still doesn't solve the problem of attaching it to a saddle. I have the belt holder for it, wish the...

    Saddles: Bare Naked or Mr. Bo-Jangles

    [ QUOTE ] If you search for "badge reels" on google you'll find many varietys. Is there enough interest in them to get a batch made up with the TB logo and a Fox Forty whistle? [/ QUOTE ] I would definitly take one. Be willing to send a few bucks for one even.

    Saddles: Bare Naked or Mr. Bo-Jangles

    [ QUOTE ] You asked what was on my saddle...not if I carried a whistle :) [/ QUOTE ] I know, I just assumed most people would carry the whistle on there saddle. But I guess I know what happens when you assume... I really like the way you have that set-up. It seems like it would be out of the...

    Staying Warm

    My arborwear sheatshirt is treating me quite well right now. I haven't found it to be too bulky to work in yet. It has an over-sized hood too which allows you to pull it up over your hardhat.

    splicing Icetail

    I personally don't do it just cause it is more of a mental thing but if you do bury short wouldn't putting a really tight whip when whiplocking hold it in place as well? Only reason I am thing this is that I whipped the end of my prussik tail to itself and it caused my double fishermans to not...

    Saddles: Bare Naked or Mr. Bo-Jangles

    Well first thing I have noticed so far that if you are someone that has concidered buying a Silky, go ahead and buy it. It is definitly the favortie so far in the group. I am suprised more guys don't climb with a whistle. I didn't include mine being I wear it around my neck when I think I might...

    group pruning

    Not sure exactly what the standards say but I would imagine it would be for any time an over head hazard exists, wheither it is using a saw or just a throwball. I personally wear mine all the time. Once it is on you end up forgetting that you even had it. And there have been many of times I was...

    How many employes???

    About 15 where I am out. Usually only 2 guys per crew unless the rigging will require 3 guys. As well no such thing as ground guys where I am at. Just the foreman/ climber and another climber. Only time we get a ground guy is when the spray crew stops in the winter and that is for the ones that...

    Saddles: Bare Naked or Mr. Bo-Jangles

    I was interested to see what everyone kept on the saddles all the time. Are you a bare minimum guy going ultra light or you the climber that you can hear coming 2 miles away with all types of gadgets swayying about? Reason I am interested is I will get my motion saddle in a few weeks and was...

    Proper cut for section felling

    Oh gosh, that's where I went wrong. I thought those little soft plastic things went in your nose to keep the dust out. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Proper cut for section felling

    Funny subject here. I just might be missing something here being I never went to college or anything. But I though that climbing lines were for climbing, rigging lines are for rigging and your lanyard is for work position. But what do I know I'm just a kid. But as far as chunking goes I usually...

    Weather related work policies

    Usually once the wind is kicking around 40 it is time to get out of the tree. But this also depends on the condition of the tree as well as the species. If it is an oak I'll give it a go but on something like a white pine is a big no no. Lightning or thunder defintily means stop. I personally...

    six block rigging

    What I saw I thought was an 8:1. It is similiar to what I have seen with the fiddle block where you attach a pulley to the tail of it and run anither rope through it where the end is anchored down. When putting multiple MA's into one system I thought you mutliplied as you go. First is 2:1 then...
