    Power Lines on One Side / Safe to Climb Away From Wires?

    Yo no se hombre, that’s not really a question anyone can answer for you over the internet. You know what they say, if you have to ask... Maybe some better advice would have been to show up when the utility arbs did their work-they would definitely be able to give you the scoop on safety and...

    Power Lines on One Side / Safe to Climb Away From Wires?

    @Bhardman For guys in the utility arboriculture world, they are working up and around power lines every single day of the week. MAD is the basic standard that keeps them safe on a day to day basis. I would liken utility arborists MAD to the stages of becoming a lineman. You aren’t gloving your...

    What is the Sherrill Tree Golden Retriever?

    Found this flaking box at a tiny museum at Painted Rocks in the UP this past summer. I had never seen one before. Pretty ornate.

    Compact Bulldog OAR

    I wish the spiderjack could run srt. The only time mine is ever loaded on a single length of rope is I when I’m standing on a spar in spikes and lanyard to satisfy the double tie in requirement. You can shave a few seconds here and there. That’s a @sherwood7 special right there. Anecdotally, I...

    Best state for climbers?

    I’d go Left Coast. I think the Bay Area has the most gnar if that is really what you are after. Massive amount of diversity and massive trees. Really the whole Cali Coast has some impressive trees, deciduous or otherwise. Also, the green East has some real beauties too- way bigger and more...

    Ambitious Climber Wanted in Gap, PA

    If I were a little closer I’d be looking into this opportunity for sure. Shane has a nice operation going with an already strong crew and strong equipment. Good people to work with all around.

    Gecko carbon fiber spurs

    Mine are going strong, knock on wood. They aren’t steel so I wouldn’t count on getting a life time out of them. I have had one friend break his- he said he was really reefing on them though. Would happily buy a new set if and when they bite the dust. Worth it.

    Climber looking to work in PA/Maine

    I just recently moved back to Gettysburg PA and am looking to do some contracting for folks in the area. I would travel to anywhere in the central PA area and also down into northern Maryland. Also Philadelphia if there were a couple days work there back to back. I have insurance, saws and...

    Throwline/electric protocol

    Good post NorCalBrock, though I’d like to make one distinction in regards to EHAP because it’s been on my mind quite recently because of my new employers expectations about proximity to power lines. I have been switching between utility and residential for the past few years and I recently...

    Getting a saw modified

    Hello all, I have a decently new stock husky 372 that I want to get fully modified by someone. I’m not a mechanic and I don’t want to start a thread about the intricacies of a full hop up. I’m just a guy who cuts and climbs for a living and wants a bomb saw I can throw around all day. Just...

    Hiking in gear

    Look up the Dakine Builders Pack. MSR Fuel cans or a Dolmar duel oil gas can. Hydration bladders instead of water bottles. There are no great answers besides everyone having a heavy pack and most likely someone carrying a saw.
