    got my ass whupped

    Fuck it cut, I love it. Def made a few of those in my time. Glad you came out ok, a little guy like you could have been cut in half by that rope:baaa: My other favorite cut is the hate cut. Where something pokes you or catches on your harness, they you cut just to teach it a lesson. Usually...

    Serius Rope Outer Sheath Failure

    I am not sure. I personally would only use the wrench with like 11.7 ish and only put loads on it that someone could handle without a friction device. It seems to be a specialty device, not meant to take the place of a block.

    TIMBERRRRR

    The op must have known he was overloaded, not sure why he would not just rest it on the stump till they could come up with a better plan. Not sure if that crane has the ability to free spool, there was nothing significant under the tree that I could see. At least compared to tipping the crane...

    Serius Rope Outer Sheath Failure

    dmd's post seems to make sense. Although the rope wrench is spected for up to 13mm. Maybe for larger loads in rigging were the rope flattens a bit under load, 12mm is too big. I think maybe the same size rope that works well for srt might be the ticket for the rigging wrench as well. Also I...

    How do we guild our craft?

    I am with you. I have learned a lot from ur posts and try to think first of how to retain something rather than remove it. When I say hazard I actually mean hazard. I am cert arb, traq, ctsp, 16 years exp. I can't agree with ur less than 1% statement, but nothing wrong with a good discussion.

    How do we guild our craft?

    For sure. Removals are def not the only technique to mitigate risks/hazards. I try and give the client all of the information, and recommend other options if a removal is not necessary to achieve the clients goals. After that if they decide to remove the tree or my experience tells me it is a...

    How do we guild our craft?

    I understand your stance on this issue. Do you really believe there is no "art" involved with removing trees? Are you advocating a guild and training program that does not have removals as a large part of the training process? That strikes me as extremely unrealistic. Removing trees in one of...

    How to tell when it's too dead

    That's a great point from u and Levi. I'm the boss where I work, there are many trees that I will do just because I feel bad putting someone else in a bad situation. It's not that I think I'm the only one that can do it.

    How to tell when it's too dead

    5 hours in the tree means prob a full day with drive time and set up. Why not use a bucket? They was plenty of room in the bid. You said they were getting it out of the way. I assume that means u had 3 people on that job. Why climb a hazard tree that u could put a bucket on with a 3 man crew for...

    How to tell when it's too dead

    Dude, I mean no disrespect but you spent most of the day with a crew rigging a hazard tree that could be reached with a bucket? For $1500? I assume that was 5 hours in the tree? Why not bid it for $2000 and rent a bucket? Only saw trunk pic, so maybe it wasn't that bad and everybody else over...
