    LOVE IT! Would love to know what you meant by "If it's just tree service then hang up your ropes"? Quality is what I try to showcase, quantity is my (by far) least-showcased thing (I've no interest in getting a trailer, or a 2nd truck -- wanna have an operation more like Reg Coates', than...

    Company websites/blogs? Or just google/facebook/instagram/social-media alone?

    Thanks for the rest of the advice but I strongly disagree with your sentiment here, it implies/says that -- in the same position -- we would all act the same. That's not true, I would never ever make someone seek me for payment after they saved my job, I wouldn't do a lot of the crap I endured...

    Oh as "PPS".... My workload right now is sufficient to fill my calendar w/o having to resort to landscape/palms/etc if I don't want to, however I'm still doing almost exclusively "remove this/these limb(s) over the house", not "remove this tree"....I got to remove trees when contract-climbing...

    RopeWrench Ropewalking Setup - - SOLD

    Since you're a teacher (major props to you on that BTW), hopefully you can explain/answer this for me--- the Wrench, it's use is simply to alleviate some of the force your hitch otherwise would've taken, because this allows easy usage and subsequent "un-jamming" of your hitch, right? I don't...

    RopeWrench Ropewalking Setup - - SOLD

    Wow....saw the OP and for the 1st time ever thought "that's a ridiculous deal on stuff I want but don't even need", am so happy to see YOU having got this man (I'm not mistaken, you are the one who basically gave us the double-head splice, no?)

    My ~1yr old "company" has had 'official' facebook & google Pages ('verified' business pages I mean, and I pay about $100/mo on 'boosting' my facebook posts) and an Instagram I use to showcase some of the best pics I'd already put on facebook......I'm now beginning to think the absence of 'an...

    Mycorrhizal Fungi for Tree health???

    Have always believed in "cultural attainment" of my myco (I have a bonsai nursery) via their substrate/soil, not artificial innoculants*, however this ^ statement of yours is beyond worrying it should be enough for the FTC to be levy'ing fines against anyone selling such things (just like there...

    q's on new spurs purchase

    I'm not going to post a picture - they are in poor shape & I know it - but my spurs somehow only weigh 4.4lbs...I thought they were crap but now that I'm looking to buy a new pair (was given this pair nearly 2yrs ago, they have served me well!), it is blowing my mind what it costs for 4.4lbs...

    Anyone wearing a 'full' fall-arrest harness (ie with the top-half) on a daily-basis in a hot climate?

    (Re my "no Wrench SRT climbing", sometimes I use a 'longer hitch over figure 8' for work-positioning but usually that's unnecessary for instance today was 2 limb removals and each was from a separate location in a huuuge spreading Oak so 2 separate climbs, each had ascent as quick as I could...

    Anyone wearing a 'full' fall-arrest harness (ie with the top-half) on a daily-basis in a hot climate?

    I use a friction hitch & figure 8, am still fighting myself to buy a rope wrench because I just don't have trouble with my hitch jamming....I use generic knee & foot ascenders, with a micropulley under my hitch and a hand-ascender that fairleads the hitch and has a bungee to the knee ascender...

    Anyone wearing a 'full' fall-arrest harness (ie with the top-half) on a daily-basis in a hot climate?

    Damn this is what I get for reading posts in-reverse :P You don't even wanna try-on the top you have, that says a whole lot!! May I ask what kind of climbing you do? You mention solo, that's my norm as well and so is rigging (it's rare I'm not rigging stuff, I hate hauling and like ropes so...

    Anyone wearing a 'full' fall-arrest harness (ie with the top-half) on a daily-basis in a hot climate?

    This is 100% how I'd ever use that rear D though ('last ditch'), for instance say you're limbwalking and you've got 2 connections they are usually 'in line' with you & the limb....the rear D could 'pin' you if you're limbwalking "off centered" from your anchor, vertically-speaking (IE you're 10'...

    Anyone wearing a 'full' fall-arrest harness (ie with the top-half) on a daily-basis in a hot climate?

    Petzl avao ('avao bod' technically I think) which does have a top I could get for it but got this Guardian unit for under $30 brand new and it does all (and more) than the Petzl one anyways. Re leaving stuff on the ground...Why didn't I think of that?!? ;) lol seriously though I work solo, and...

    Anyone wearing a 'full' fall-arrest harness (ie with the top-half) on a daily-basis in a hot climate?

    OH!! Same topic but kinda 'abstract' Q I've had for a while.... Are we all wearing harnesses that are *just* 'work-position' harnesses, NOT fall-arrest? IE without the tops, aren't most of our harnesses not qualified as "fall arrest"? Wouldn't that kinda mean the average climber is bucking the...

    Anyone wearing a 'full' fall-arrest harness (ie with the top-half) on a daily-basis in a hot climate?

    I got a top piece / 'suspenders' (fall-arrest rated / ansi&osha compliant by Guardian Fall Protection), didn't really get them for fall-arrest though I just want less weight on my hips, I carry-up too much with me and am skinny so my harness tears into my hips, think I've had a wound on either...

    [Captain Hook usage] Why have a separate hook-lanyard, when you could just use the tail of your line?

    This just occurred to me so apologies if there's an obvious reason why-not, but I'd fitted my *hook with a ~45' piece of 11mm Mercury line, stuff has the stiffest hand I've ever felt, works well when it comes to both twisting and 'pausing' the line when trying to tilt the hook's...

    [law, ethics] What if my neighbor's massive/mature Live Oak only has 1 lead....and that lead is 100% on my property, coming over my roof?

    And to be clear this is a VERY real hazard over the roof, I won't even be working it w/o first guy-wiring the thing because far too much of its weight comes from a nearly horizontal trunk, thing is a leaner over my fence but then goes nearly horizontal as it goes over my roof (because it's...

    [law, ethics] What if my neighbor's massive/mature Live Oak only has 1 lead....and that lead is 100% on my property, coming over my roof?

    So a massive Live Oak had all-but-1 lead removed, this Oak starts on neighboring property but leans immediately over fence and its crown (single-lead/trunk crown, very small for the girth of the trunk) is 100% situated over my roof. I know "you can cut on your side of the fence", but this...

    I'm hoping to learn Re various chain-types for climbsaws (10"-->18" chain), not just "get Pro" but understanding the teeth/etc..

    Obviously I can alter raker height, or angle of the tooth, but had forgotten another "biggie" -- full V semi chisel chains... I'd thought ALL climbsaws were automatically semi-chisel, but then I found someone running the same big-climbsaw I do (355t) using full-chisel chain....all of my saws are...
