    HUMAN.....man is still at it.... THIS dude is on something

    Agree with this 100% BTW, just visited your neck of the woods on my MC. Generally of course, I don’t know exactly where you roam, but I was around(Cecilville, FOS, Bald Hill/Mountain, Lost Coast/Shelter Cove, Ave of Giants, Smith River area)...... just wandering around. Those trees are...

    HUMAN.....man is still at it.... THIS dude is on something

    Cory makes video about Cory. Trees is one of the things he does. He also works on his truck and his house and keeps his shop a hell of a lot cleaner than I could ever hope to. Cory shares his struggles and triumphs, if he was perfect, no one would be interested. I’m not sure why some of you...

    HUMAN.....man is still at it.... THIS dude is on something

    I’d much rather watch Human (Cory) than Daniel........Daniel makes me want to puke, Cory is entertaining at least. If you catch the episode about his history, you might get a little of where he came from. He’s got quite an interesting history. If I were him, I’d be proud of where he’s at in...

    Looking buy used climbing spikes

    Are you the local climbing spike dealer? LOL The Buckinghams I got from you are still going strong as I’m sure you’d expect. Pretty sure they’ll never actually wear out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sena 10s - possible to communicate between headset and phone?

    My experience says just have her call you. After you pair your phone, of course. Then you can listen to tunes too. Not familiar with the app. Been using the SENA for 6 or 8 years on my MC, wonderful gadgets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Socks?

    I got advice from a Hotshot years ago to use thick merino wool socks on the fire line. He was right, I’ve never had better luck with my feet since the switch. They also don’t get funky. Believe it or not, I can do a 14 day fire assignment with 2 pairs of socks and underwear, all merino wool. I...

    What would you like to see introduced or improved in arborist equipment?

    How about a smaller locking caribener, swivel the gate out so small size isn’t limiting factor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can you help ID

    Terrible trees, reproduce faster than rabbits, messy, seeds are god awful from mature trees when they drop. If I could only go back 60 years and get the guy that built my house to plant something else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shop pants

    https://www.mascotworkwear.com/en/work-pants My favorite work pants. I haven’t burned any holes in mine yet. I’d have to look at mine to see what model they are. Kevlar knees, knee pad pockets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ropetek Wraptor redesign

    How about down the lines of a Lewis Winch, but optimized for this purpose? Make it mount to a small powerhead. Then the end user could choose batteries or liquid fueled. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Recommended 3-strand splicing video?

    As I learned 3-strand eye splicing 30 years ago, you make your eye and tuck the first two strands as they line up, the third one goes over and under the same strand and then you are set. Does that make sense? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tree top rescue

    We prefer to call it “calculated risk” Risk a little to save a little, risk a lot to save a lot. I’m sure he was a little puckered up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Today’s climb. Lightning Struck lead?

    It was neat, but it was over a kids batting cage. There are other branches in that weed of a tree that will fill in the gap. All of the weight was on the top and adding #200 (with gear) to the upper half caused it to start to fail, so not much margin for it to survive. Sent from my iPhone...

    Today’s climb. Lightning Struck lead?

    Climbed on this Siberian Elm today to remove the pictured lead. My thought is it was struck by lightning some time ago. I climbed about halfway on this one with spurs, then my gut said to tie in on a nearby lead before I continue. Toss Capt Hook and transfer to another lead of same tree...
