    Chainsaw boots that aren't too hot?

    Has there been any discussion or comparison about chainsaw boots being too hot? I never have any luck with the search feature. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction if there's already been a discussion. I have the Pfanner Zermatt GTX boots which are extremely thick and heavy. I love...

    This is the Akimbo

    Thanks again Jamie! I really appreciate your effort in designing, developing, and following through with a great company to get us all this amazing tool! I have climbed on most of the current devices; only briefly on the bone and the runner; and quite a bit on the wrench, with all sorts of...

    T536LiXP Battery Problem

    Has there been any consensus as to what batteries are compatible with the t536li? I'm considering purchasing one and I'm finding information online to be conflicting and confusing. Husqvarna's website states in it's battery series info, under the title "one battery fits all" that "*all...

    How in sam hill....

    crazy right lol as I said installing FS from ground using rope on one side TL on the other. the TL was nice and isolated in the union before I tied the FS on so definitely didn't roll down a branch into a union but as I said the FS fell back out of the union after I had already started pulling...

    New England Escalator...

    Ya, I see your point with such a short section as in a bridge. I just figured I'd just throw the information I had been told out there. I feel some people just buy rope that is listed as a climbing line and don't necessarily think through or even be given the information as to what limitations...

    New England Escalator...

    More then energy absorption, my bigger concern with escalator is that it contains aramid fibers and will be self abrasive if run in a device. Or have I been miss informed?

    How in sam hill....

    Here's a couple of frustrations I've had lately. Trying to retrieve my choked canopy anchor somehow the tail tied a half hitch on itself forcing me to go up and retrieve it. Then when I was using rope on one side T.L. on the other to set a friction saver. It dropped back out of the union three...

    New England Escalator...

    It is my understanding that it is designed only as an access line. It contains aramid fibers and should not be used in any device. Furthermore it has no or very limited dynamic ability to absorb a fall. It's meant to be like a wire. It was designed and created only as a super low stretch access...

    Yale Kernmaster splicing

    This is interesting, when I first convinced Shelter Tree to order Kernmaster I spoke to Jamie Goddard at Yale and he said that one of the reasons they didn't sell it for tree work so much was because it was not spliceable, not even stitched. I'm curious to why he would say that. I tried to ask...

    plam springs CA any work?

    I am considering visiting a relative in Cathedral City, CA. for a couple weeks or more beginning around Jan 20th. In order to make this trip practical I would need to work at least a little while I'm there. I am wondering if anyone could use some temporary help. I would be happy to work full...

    Thee best rake.

    Groundskeeper is the way to go I've shown them to a lot of people and it always seems the same either they learn the technique and love it or they don't give it a chance and hate it right away if you think it's too aggressive you just have to learn how to use it I have had the same one for...

    Trev, thx for the reply.. It had been awhile since I've heard anything. I was starting to think they were never coming out. even a rumor of this summer is enough for me to hold out a little longer:)

    Static Rope For Tree Climbing

    Swing, ya bro I am good. Hope all is well your way too.... Tony, where did it get it spliced? I couldn't understand why it wouldn't be stitchable, but that is what I was told. I still have a fresh end it would be cool to have a splice.

    Static Rope For Tree Climbing

    Hey Swing :) That was the access line I had in Tom's sycamore, you ascended on it I think. I like it a lot. It has a very tight cover so it might be picky about cordage choice when tying a hitch, like I said I haven't tried it yet. If you get some definitely let me know what you think.
