    Rigging Gear purchase

    It's not a misunderstanding, it's called a difference of opinion. True blue 1/2 in, 7300 lbs breaking, 8.8 lbs/100ft Dynasorb 5/8 in, 18000 lbs breaking, 13.3 lbs/100ft Wtf is the misunderstanding. Less than 5lbs/100ft buys you 10,700 lbs breaking strength? And don't talk any smack about...

    Rigging Gear purchase

    This is not good advice. 5/8 ropes are not that heavy. Are you carrying a rope bag around during your removal? Larger rope, larger safety margin. 1/2 in is not for everything. Rope should be the weakest part of the system? Why? If u never need any thing larger than 1/2 in then u are not doing...

    Where I'm at & request for any advice...

    Wear spikes. Also don't get in the habit of leaving stubs on removals, it can bite u in the ass in a bunch of different ways. Use a friction saver that chokes the stem and u won't have to worry about ur rope slipping off a stub.

    Maybe my first crane job?

    Im with ya, lots of different ways. The roots are not really supporting the tree, it is falling over. They are offering some support, but how much?

    Maybe my first crane job?

    If u can get equipment to it, use it. I personally don't agree with using stakes or props as your only means of support, especially if you are going to climb it. This is not a job to test out some idea u heard on the Internet. If u don't have the experience and knowledge to get it down safely...

    Need a bosses advice

    some situations you just don't want to be a part of. There is an old saying, "I don't believe in people changing, but Iv seen it happen." I think it comes down to a personal choice, if its unsafe and you don't feel you can work there, move. Or come to grips with the fact that it will take a lot...

    using a prop for storm damaged tree support

    I hear what you are saying, but... You are assuming a lot of things in a storm damage situation that may or may not be true. When I do storm damage I always operate under worse case scenario. Like that tree not sitting back in the hole and the holding roots being compromised and causing that...

    Snap cutting large wood?

    I would say always have the bottem cut the way you want the wood to go. Especially with big wood, you don't want to snap it towards yourself. And trying to push large pieces over the ledge left from the snap makes bad things happen. How big is too big always depends on the situation and the...

    climbing pet peeves

    I'm not sure why, prob because people constantly blow them when they are not in trouble. I'm really just joking around. Sounds like I got u on the visor and the whistle. I work with plenty of great guys who do all of these things
