    Oak Wilt? Something Else?

    I only paint stumps for this reason, to me I’m in your camp as well, I will not trim oaks regardless of the magical July 15th date coming up I wait until 2 solid weeks of below 40 temps. Simply prioritize the prunings based on risk/targets rather than cosmetic needs of elevation or deadwood or...

    If it idles and then dies if you open the cap is there bubbles in the gas? Or does pressure seem to come out?

    Saw pants sales?

    I have the climbs and the so fresh, the so fresh are still HOT like 50 degrees or less to wear comfortably and after a wash it’ll bunch a little but I hang to dry and shake it down. The climbs I’ve had no issues with. Interesting to learn though I didn’t realize the fibers were just a basic poly.

    Saw pants sales?

    Bartlett is running 25% off solidur, they’re decent not quite as venty or cool as the zeros or arbortec but a cheaper option that hold up fairly well.

    Small update on Regs new device

    I think alot of the timing with this might be because notch is always launching something? Originally I believe he was working with stein but I imagine this will be a notch release since they did his grapple but could be wrong. Maybe they’ll do a launch at TCI or atleast a tease.

    KBNest -Midline Attachable SRS Canopy Anchor.

    Really dig this video it definitely simplified and cleared up a lot of questions. What’s the lifespan on the cordage/sling? And will there be replacements?

    DIY Tree Squeeze - Share your ideas

    That’s actually a pretty good thought! I think the thimble terminating might be too small of a bend radius when descending might have to add a ring before the small ring prussic just to spread it out a bit kind of “chicken rings style” like Dave at wesspur called it.

    the tall 100’+ trees are a different animal, go for the highest quickest shot and maneuver via alternating lanyard, and if only on lanyard I’ll use the cinching bight if I’m a good distance between, but with an overhead reach of 8 foot or so combined with a pruner or a quick monkey fist I can...

    I just set a canopy anchor and avoid the use of the friction saver, have a line dedicated for pines so that first few feet are permasapped. I have in the past done like you’ve described using a pulleysaver or the fimblsaver depending on the size of the trunk but you’re obviously limited to the...

    Safety Incentive Program

    They recently started one, it’s x for 6 months and it resets. If anything is damaged or if you’re caught breaking policy you lose the incentive. I don’t find safety incentives to work, being safe in this industry keeps you alive and in one piece if that’s not enough incentive than find a...

    ArborMaster or North American Training Solutions

    It’s an interesting take, if we look at even the last 10 years and how much the climbing and other industry techniques has changed but yet like he states a lot of our BMP’s haven’t. It’s also kind of reafirmmimg when the z133 took 9 years to update.
