    Redundant Bridge vs. Second Bridge

    Why do arborists use more than one bridge, for positioning, if, it seems it would require a whole secondary TIP with another rope, likely faraway, and if it's not too faraway, so that a lanyard could suffice, why not use a lanyard on bridge Drings? Can't one simply have 2 long lanyards and use...

    Make Us Laugh :)

    This does, comically, convey the actual ridiculous, poor human oppressive, environment wasteful, inefficiency of battery powered vehicles.

    Redundant Bridge vs. Second Bridge

    Good idea to use loctite! I see the risky innate design of the TreeAustria shackles, coming unscrewed. The design on the DMM shackles is clever, in that they have a small set screw, that prevents the main shackle bolt, from allowing the U section, to ever be open, unintentionally. I never use...

    Climbers for Christ

    The book that foretold his coming, also prophesied the fall of the Ottoman Empire, which occurred on the same exact day that was predicted in the Bible, Aug, 11, 1840. Some say the Ottoman Empire didn’t fall until 1922, that’s when the remains of their empire had fully dissolved, but they fell...

    Climbers for Christ

    Staves apparently is plural for staff, seems the premisal idea here is to take just what you physically need. Good to see you used the KJV. Yes, there are some things in the Bible that seem contrary to common sense, but we don’t know all things, and even if we disagree with something, shouldn’t...

    Climbers for Christ

    Many speak confidently about heaven and being saved, yet rarely we see a satisfactory answer to why so many won't make it to heaven. We know Jesus said as it was in the days of the son of man so shall it be at the end. And that few simply believed Jesus to be the Messiah, an inference can be...

    Songs of Perfection

    Fucken great song... and allegoric. Marty Robbins - Feleena (from El Paso) @Howie65 Since we are destined to live out our lives in the prison of our minds, it is our duty to furnish it well. * Peter Ustinov * And, might I add, music is way great way to furnish ones mind.

    Weird tinnitus

    When growing up, my mom said if we had muscle twitch in our eyelid, it was likely from eating too processed foods, notably white bread, [and lack of whole wheat bread]. Apparently whole wheat bread (especially freshly ground, baked whole wheat) has many nutrients that don't even exist, in whole...

    Your Display of Christmas Decor... lights, etc. tags: "christmas lights"

    Oh, yes, I remember that picture from your avatar. That is cool, the light emitted from the lights is quite luminous. This is an non-enhanced photo? The typical christmas tree lights on a (soccer ball sized spool), I used, were quite cumbersome to wrap around the truck as I went up, mostly...

    Your Display of Christmas Decor... lights, etc. tags: "christmas lights"

    Anyone care to post an image of their christmas decor or lights they put up? This is the first of any tree lights I've put up. It's hard (or simply dangerous) to put them very far out (or high up) on the crown limbs. At least wrapping some of the main leaders, does give more light to the center...

    My Stress

    If only the voting citizens of America, could've understood that Trump was improving the economy - making it less oppressive for the average person. Cost of living and materials, would likely would be reasonable now. But, that discussion will need another thread. I worked for a contractor who...

    Rope questions…

    Welcome to the Buzz, LBF! I have spent about $1200 on many different ropes, and was even looking into having a custom rope made. But, have decidedly settled on DrenaLine. Things I like about it: it is a true 32 braid cover, (a higher braid wears better in equipment, causes less damage to bark...

    Tree Devotionals (Contain Bible Verses, so enter at your own risk)

    The bible states in Exodus 21, "If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine." The man to who caused the...

    Tree Devotionals (Contain Bible Verses, so enter at your own risk)

    I've seen many reasons to think the earth, even our solar system, to be young. Here's a link to a presentation by Spike Psarris, I found it interesting about the orbital decay of the moon. I haven't researched what is actually causing the decay or why it wouldn't be a decay towards the earth...

    Tree Devotionals (Contain Bible Verses, so enter at your own risk)

    Well, from what christians understand, those things are a degradation of how things were, when God made them flawless. This world has been/is devolving physically and morally. And, that the devil plays a large part of the current misery, and suffering in this world, and we allow it when we...

    New top handle question

    I only do it when I assess that the rot is more detrimental than the slight increase in cross section surface area of the cut. I usually return to the trees I've pruned each year to check on them. All so far, seem healthy and flourishing. Once there was a large co-dom Black Locust Tree that was...

    New top handle question

    Oh, sorry, I meant to say, after I do a proper flush cut of a branch that has a rotted area in the cross section. I'll modify the flush cut. I will carve out a bit of the rot to reduce holding of rain water near the rot, also I'll carve out a bit more of healthy flare wood on the bottom of the...

    some actual tree work

    Why do so so many tree people do rigging where it seems just smaller pieces could be cut without any rigging, making it faster and causing less hitting and bashing of other parts of the tree and adjacent trees. I know one reason to keep a branch as long as possible, is to reduce chipping...
