    What slings do you recommend?

    I find most slings are way too long for our uses at least for brush picks. I'd prefer 2 18/20' and a 24/26'

    Overuse Injuries

    I'd agree with that but if the cause IS external then the internal is the reaction to the external cause. It seems to me, much of what we find internally thats irregular can be inked to an external cause. It's funny that we see this in the ancient beings we care for but when it comes to the...

    Overuse Injuries

    I don't completely have grasp on it yet but it's similar to heart burn or indigestion. Antiacids make it worse. Acids make it better. For instance a shot of all natural apple cider vinegar helps. In that instance I think it assists int the acid receptors getting an all full message and...

    What slings do you recommend?

    I haven't had a problem with them sticking to the bark even on rough bark trees. I'd have to revisit those numbers. I thought the X slings had the market on strength. Could very well be my ignorance on the newer slings. I have some Yale slings given to me to demo that are pretty solid but...

    Overuse Injuries

    Was just reading and article this morning about alkalinity and breast cancer and was surprised to learn that lemons are considered alkaline food. I have read plenty about the acid alkaline balance and the hypothesized effects on cancer metabolism and the processing and storage of toxins in the...

    How's the work flow?

    thanks @Bendroctanus There's no room but to be humble and have humility. I'm 15 years older than the oldest guy on the crew. I'm working on being as proficient as everyone else. The company owner is a world champion a couple times over I think. There is no room for my ego or my sense of...

    Overuse Injuries

    I'm feeling this post as well. I've been battling this hand thing since I've gone back to climbing. General inflammation follows diet for me mostly so I try to counter that with obviously not eating what affects me negatively. I also make sure I do plenty of home fermented dietary goodies. I...

    How's the work flow?

    Not exactly. I've only climbed a couple times a year for the last 8 years so I have a lot to regain. Strength loss, confidence loss, skill loss, balance loss, and proficiency. Today was a great day in the trees. Felt totally at home and confident. Was just a good day. I'm starting back at...

    How's the work flow?

    I like being in the tree. Chasing 1" deadwood in champion trees has been q quick process to re acclimate to climbing. Kind like being thrown into the deep end. LOL

    How's the work flow?

    I'm pretty content just doing what I'm told at this point. Once the crane is gone that'll be my day to day. Just an employee. Hopefully not to be put in charge of anything.

    How's the work flow?

    I tried and spent a lot of money on marketing and didn't get a single job. There's a dozen crane services with 6 or more cranes around. For shits and giggles I counted the sticks in the air around the port and, not counting port cranes, I saw 30 cranes in the air in a 5 mile trip. Tons of...

    Today....

    I was just looking at old threads about the 151 last night. I need to get a small saw for pruning work. 201 is way too much saw for what I'm doing. Some of the guys at work are using Echo, some Stihl. Not sure what directions I wanna go when I have the money to spend. Regardless looks like...

    It may sound like a stretch but it happened and yes people sue the gun store and the manufacturer for someone who bought a gun legally and then used it illegally.......and then there's this line of reasoning. LOL.

    Aside from the insurance company dropping them? I think the insurance settled even though they did the right thing.

    How's the work flow?

    I've had paying work for the crane 1 day this month so far. I'm driving 2 hours each way to climb and doing side jobs alone just to pay my bills........the plan isn't working. I've dropped the sale price on the crane 75k. I'm enjoying climbing and the commute is fine for what I get out of my...

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    There is a gear distributor who faced a really nasty lawsuit over a piece of kit that was used improperly and resulted in a fall with some serious injuries. They didn't sue the manufacturer of the kit, they sued the seller alleging they didn't do their due diligence to ensure user training...
