    I have been using PlantNet on iPhone. It gives you an ID matching list with probability. It’s been fairly helpful so far.

    Cut protection from electric saws

    Noticed that the ISO testing standards use an electrically driven mechanism for testing. Wonder if that affects confidence in electric chain saw protection? Or if the mechanism is so different separate testing had to be done?

    How would you climb this without ladder and spikes but only rope & climbing gears SRS method

    Might throw in a base tie, or if possible to isolate a good limb, set up a soft 8. Either of these for access. Might climb up and set my line as a redirect off of a ring and ring or entirety reset my line with a knot block off the ring and ring. I might also climb above my tie in point with...

    Two YouTube gurus with interesting things to say about knee rehab are “the knees over toes guy” and “Mark Wildman”. Both have rehabbed and strengthened their knees from surgery and taken it beyond to high performing knees. As to other exercises during the down time, generally pair a press and a...

    Entry level saddle recommendations larger size

    are lighter tools beneficial to a long career?

    So not science, but my understanding and experience is that injuries are more likely when you push through and work fatigued and especially when that fatigue produces awkward body mechanics to compensate for fatigued muscles. Strength is best gained through strength work using progressive...

    White oak in decline

    Maybe this home owner is different, but I find many home owners are not good at spotting early signs of distress. Many don’t notice an issue until the tree is in more serious decline. Makes it hard to rule out causes that developed more slowly. Essentially, I would not rule out that the tree was...

    The necessity/importance of your primary rope contacting the ground?

    If I understand what you are asking, I do use this technique on occasion, knowing that I have removed my ability to contact the ground. I do this as a working arborist not as a rec climber, and it tends to occur when I realize I need to make it out onto branches to clean something up that I...

    Thoughts on TreeRex Saddle?

    Thanks. I added some basic suspenders to my current saddle and love having the support. So that’s why I was asking about the Treerex, I don’t really want to give them up.

    Thoughts on TreeRex Saddle?

    Looking to purchase my first truly modern climbing saddle. I went down to Gap Arborist supply so I could sit in a few saddles. Of the ones he had on hand, the TreeRex seemed to be the most comfortable. The Strider Tree review on youtube was positive with the caveat that the backpad was not quite...
