    Great thread. Just curious, in view of the thread, how young you are?

    White pines in The Pine Tree State appear threatened.

    I was in Maine again last week. The pines I saw last year have all gotten worse or died, I'm really surprised I don't hear anything about it here or elsewhere. 2'-4' DBH, 110'-140' height, awesome trees.

    Has EAB arrived on the west coast now?

    I'm from CT where the ash have been gone for awhile but it's great to see sprouts and saplings coming up. I just got back from a week in Maine, it was a deep pleasure to see big, beautiful, healthy ash trees in the area. An arborist I spoke to previously about it said I'm currently in a pocket...

    2023 nifty lift sd64 4x4x4

    I rented one with skilled op for a tree unsafe to climb and no bucket or crane access, it got the job done but was amazingly slow in travel, set up, and operation. I was used to 75' rear mount elevator which is the bees knees imo.

    Simple Solo Rig

    Um DOH!!! Your thread title tells it all. That's lotta work solo, well done!! So you had to climb down to tension the rigging and then climb back up to cut? Wow!

    Simple Solo Rig

    Nice rigging! Um, why is no climber visible in the tree? That tree looks like a good removal candidate. Is that job in Boulder? I'm no expert but that doesn't look like a Boulder house/yard, almost could be CT

    Hang in there Levi. You got this, just think on it some more. Bounce it off TB here. Muggs, great post! And actually it sounds like you could be on the path described in the Emyth book above- your partner lets you do your thing with barest oversight and you do same for him. You have a system...

    The concept of intelligent people who are tRump supporters is a curious one, I can't figure it out. And somehow this comes to mind What I mean is, we can't loose sight of the fact that Trump himself is not actually the problem. He is simply a trigger for a problem that already existed. A...

    True statements but which miss the point. The point is tRump is a complete nut and fully caused the riot to happen And the "bunches of people behind bars" only stayed behind bars until a few days into tRump's second term when full pardons were issued to every one of them. This whole deal...

    I was wondering the exact same thing while reading his book. But ultimately I think that view, while very understandable, is not valid. Bartlett for example has been in biz since 1915 and seems to be doing better every year and they are nationwide- they are getting done without the need to find...

    Merle, I looked at the book online, it seemed very interesting re the concepts of Technician, Manager, and Entrepreneur, and how most folks (especially tree folks I'd say) start their biz as technicians bc they are really good at their work so why work for someone else when they can do it for...
