I was in the same county when the bucket truck incident happened. I didn't realise it was another buzzer as the casuility. Not like it really matters, all life is precious. I wish the best for his family and friends.
There was some major safety and production issues with the project he was on...
Now don't misunderstand my intentions. I'm not out trying to get rich. I just thought it would be cool to get a crew together and do some storm work

I've got a F350 and would probably bring a bobcat behind it. A new 460 or 660 and a contract climber riding shot gun should round out my truck right now.
I would love to set up a Treebuzz disaster relief crew. Could be fun, get guys from all-around to meet up, exchange techniques, and make some...
Same principal as a friction saver for climbing use, just beefed up for rigging. Like the guys are saying, as long as you are cutting safe, half inch gear should handle most things you get in to.
Also, don't over complicate things, never underestimate some 12 or 16 strand and a natural crotch...
I have been switching most of my rigging over from pullies to rings. Don't get me wrong I love my OmniBlocks, like JeffGu mentioned, but for speed and productivity the ring and ring rigging points and beast rings on a ultrasling make fast work of a canopy.

I am in Dallas and was thinking about heading down to do some scouting. Anybody want to put together a crew.

I have heard very good things about the Sportiva Makalu's. They look like they would be great for the wildland crew, doing a lot of hiking to the work site.

I recommend the mendels for a stiff soled boot. When I strap on my spurs in them, it feels like the boots and gaffs become one unit solidly work I g together. I have spent 8 to 10 hours on them before and it is tolerable.
