The comp is sat at city park in Denver. Should be a good one, see u guys there. Also I'm having a party at my place after. My names court, I'll be the head tech at aerial rescue. Good luck everybody!
I think it's a good idea to put what your top wages would be if u r looking for highly skilled climbers. A larger number seems to entice the more skilled guys to at least apply or check out your operation. Also maybe a skilled worker is not happy at their current job, the "bigger" number may...
Thanks treevet. Not last tues, think it was in late march of this year. I'm in colorado. Nice pick on the vid. The twig thing does work, just like on stump cuts. I agree with ur pencil example. You def don't want to be sitting in the line of fire if the piece breaks before it is straight vertical

What rope r u guys using with the spiderjack? Saw a promo vid online, looked like the guy was using velocity. That rope was always a little too thin for me. Any body having good luck with a thicker rope? Thanks

I think there is only one thing to do here. Move to OR and charge $999 a day. That way no one has to pay the outrageous $1000 dollar a day rate. Or reg if you are down, we could both go and split the $999. $599 for you and $400 for me. But seriously, I think guaranteeing multiple days per week...
