    Dealing with growth

    I did this as well for a couple of years. I had a great groundie who came to me trained and experienced. He didn't want full time work as he had other jobs so I found a staffing service who took care of everything. It was all app based and very easy, I just cut them a check every two weeks. They...

    Anyone know where I can find one of these truck winch mounts?

    FWIW I've been in a similar conundrum as you and just went with the last option you described (2" front receiver, winch cradle, cheap winch) for my 2004 truck (which I'd love to upgrade but won't have that kind of money any time soon). I'm running the biggest, nicest Harbor Freight winch and...

    Rigging the Tally Ho

    I've been watching this series since Leo started. Such a phenomenal undertaking and a very well documented process of some extraordinary woodworking and craftsmanship.

    New HitchHikerXF

    I was beginning to think I was the only one who didn't get along with the BDB. Thanks for being there, I feel seen.

    Fix for budget throw cubes

    I've been using Plasti Dip tool dip for the corners on the cheaper cubes. Seems to be holding up well.

    Inversion Table

    Something else to consider is traction gained the other way, by hanging from a pull up bar. There are many benefits to simply hanging - active hangs, shrug pullups and tons of pull up variations that can really decompress the spine, build strength and fitness.

    How to organize the Teufelberger treeMOTION light Harness

    Nothing revolutionary here but I ditch the bungee/shock cord in favor of small diameter rope cordage in clear acrylic tubing which I thread through the holes and tie stopper knots. It makes for a stiff, unyielding half loop to rack carabiners etc. on.

    Want to Change Lives?

    What an amazing job opportunity! Not to derail, but 10 years ago I had the honor of being an Urban Forestry instructor to at-risk youth at a Job Corps center on the Oregon coast. Myself and another instructor (great arborist and friend of mine) were tasked with teaching fourteen students age...

    Zigzag and rope ends?

    After I cut the end with a new razor knife, I use a small propane torch to really melt the end and then immediately crimp it with lineman's pliers or smash it against the top of my vise with an old putty knife to shape it into a blunt point. This will usually last for a while and seems to work...

    What is this hellish squealing? Stihl 194

    I have a 194 that did this also. From day one. Took it back to the dealer a few times and they'd do something and it would go away for a bit and usually come back. Now I just live with it and curse the saw when I rarely use it.

    Gear bags backpack?

    I really like the Black Diamond haul bag I've been using for years because the material is very tough and its simply constructed. It's just one giant tube with backpack straps and a small zipper pocket inside where I keep a scrench, ppe and gloves. The material is VERY stiff and durable and the...

    Heavy equipment hauling

    I used Veritread when I shipped my truck and chipper from NE Washington to Boise when we moved this summer. I got tons of bids and ended up going with one of the cheapest ones and it all worked out fine. Good luck with everything and congrats on the new equipment!

    I was a bcma for a week ama

    I too was involved in this oopsie. Of course I took the opportunity to brow beat everyone I encountered by saying things like "...As a board certified master arborist..." and so on. It's like the old joke- how do you know if someone is a vegan/crossfitter/etc. Don't worry, they'll tell you.

    Pfanner Protos upgrade hearing protection

    Ordered new replacement muffs, will probably be a big improvement. I really like the ability to tuck them up under the helmet when not in use so I'll stick with stock and get some earplugs for extended chipping and big sawing. Thanks for participating, everyone!

    Pfanner Protos upgrade hearing protection

    This is a very good question. Too long... At least 1.5 years. I'll get the replacement pads and see how that goes. When cleaning the helmet last night, I noticed that an indentation had worn in them from being stowed in the helmet. I'm sure this has something to do with it.

    Pfanner Protos upgrade hearing protection

    Has anyone found earmuffs that offer a higher level of protection than the stock ones yet still work with the helmet? Is there an upgrade option out there?
