    Pink magic throw line

    The coating is like dynaglide. The line is considerably thinner. Makes it harder for me to pull the line up. (Dynaglide is my favorite.)

    Any help for this Doug fir yard tree?

    I admit to being offended. While I appreciate your input, I disagree with your advice. The larvae are so far in the branches. No exit holes elsewhere. I would expect to see the top die back first. At which point I would remove it (the top). The tree may still survive. I think the...

    Any help for this Doug fir yard tree?

    Needles look good except on at least two branches. In the right light, you can see that they are "off". I will go up and remove them and any others that develop, late winter. I removed all the dead branches. It's a yard tree, near a retaining wall/sidewalk/road on one side. The rest is 2/3...

    Any help for this Doug fir yard tree?

    It is sapsuckers. Willamson's sapsuckers like doug fir. I recently spotted another just like it (without the beetles) at another job (in another town.) They definitely want to keep the tree, if it can be saved from the beetles.

    Any help for this Doug fir yard tree?

    It must be going on for a long time for the wood to react that way (swell). What came first, the sap sucker or the beetle. They both attack weakened trees. I guess sap sucker from the drought. I don't see any other physical damage to the tree. No new landscaping either.

    Any help for this Doug fir yard tree?

    Starts about 25 ft up. There're five rings. The top two don't have as much sap.

    Echo DCS-2500T

    It is super light. Cuts great. I have a panther bar on it. The battery doesn't last long though. Also, I bought three batteries and only one would charge.

    In search of trees for recreational climbing...and other ponderings and questions.

    California has a recreational use law that makes land owners free from liability if they give you permission to recreate on their land. There's a form on the internet somewhere you can print out and have both parties sign, but I think verbal permission is enough legally.

    The slick coating on throwline.

    Dynaglide is my favorite out of the three. I'll stash my new Dynaglide and bring it out for problem trees.

    The slick coating on throwline.

    I have Zing It, Dynaglide and Yale Long Shot.

    The slick coating on throwline.

    No, it's happens on isolation. I know there are work arounds (ie: more weights, clearer shot, carabiner letting down another line), but the fact remains that a new line comes down easier than a worn line, so I end up buying a new line.

    The slick coating on throwline.

    The coating wears off with use and the ball won't come down sometimes (especially incense cedar and snags). I end up buying a new line.

    Why tie instead of rigging carabiner?

    I meant with a carabiner. I use a half hitch with a knot.
