    Outdoor wood boiler

    I am working on this very idea. of wood chips, there is potential. btw froling is one really great boiler. I would highly recommend it or a few other gassifiers. way cleaner, way more efficient. out door units are a good way to get rid of a bunch of junk if you don't care about...

    money-hourly-rate-time-opportunity cost.

    as a arborist, personally money seems to elude me( and I am not along, we always seem to do the harder work with the lesser pay) in the last two years I have gotten a crash course in life finances. and want to take a minute to open this up and maybe we can all benefit. something that I...

    gaff sharpening

    A few have commented that they like the factory edge better, Gaffs are not supposed to be razor sharp, the shape is more important than the sharpness. its the factory shape that makes them work. Gaffs are not supposed to look like a ice pick. if you look at a new set they have a curve, and...

    boots

    I wore asolos for a while and liked them. When Arbpro decided to make the boots with the attachment for a rope walker system, I got a pair to basically design a HAAS for the boots. I love them. they work fantastic, not only do you get that cool attachment point, but you also get a great pair...

    Arbpro Clip'N vs. HAAS 2.0

    you know I may be able to to, and I have had offers to have the the manufacturing taken over seas, but to be honest. Two things come into play if I do that on top of the issues above. First its a labor of love, and I have developed tools to make it doable, I like knowing every time I...

    Arbpro Clip'N vs. HAAS 2.0

    thats pretty cool. when I first started playing with the concept, one of the things I did was the webbing actually with a stiffener in it much like that. What I found was they don't move as fast as the tubing design, and there are more frequent missed steps. but you are right the trade...

    Watch This Show!

    I am the only guy, well I thought, I was the only guy I knew who could easily give up the tv. we have it for the kids. and that is about all. I hate it. how interesting is it that so many of us don't watch or have a TV? sorry mark, however I do find this really interesting.

    Arbpro Clip'N vs. HAAS 2.0

    Great Video! I am hoping to have the HAAS for the clip on steps in the market in the next week. I was really excited when Arbpro said they were actually going to do it. I have pair myself and I really like them. it just makes for a cleaner system if that is the direction you want to...

    SRT or DRT what do you find easier?

    depends on what I am doing. trimming… mostly srt but removals are mostly double. reason being is the way I access and work. with srt, you are tied into what you will be tied into for the day, and you rarely have to move a redirect, and never your primary point. with removals that gets...

    Petzl Foot Ascender Kickout Solution

    with the HAAS there is no need for a handled ascender. With The HAAS your left leg will match the efforts of your right leg which leaves very little for your upper body to have to handle, your arms really just keep you balanced mostly. also, with this system at any given moment you can...

    Certified and Tested Ropes for Ascenders

    I have a piece of velocity that I use to test every haas that leave my shop. because of the nature of the test and how its set up the teeth always hit on the same side of the rope in about a 3 inch area. two things lots of haas have been tested here, and I am not nice to the rope, each...

    Yale Kernmaster splicing

    [ QUOTE ] Good luck with it, Roxy! So, I think I'm going to buy a Toss Wand, just because it's a Toss Wand. I feel like it's more of a 16 strand tool, but I know guys that have them mounted in vices and use them for everything. Now, if only I had a vice...and a bench...and a shop...maybe I can...

    It's time for a change

    Re: It\'s time for a change Jeff, I totally agree with you except for 2 points, its our history, and there is a part of me that respects the way it was done, Its like the sthil comps where they have cross cut saws, no one does that anymore. but its fun to watch and to do it once a year is...
