    Tiny mushrooms on western red cedar and Douglas fir

    Hey everyone, I'm having trouble figuring out what type of mushroom is on several thuja plicata and pseudotsuga menziesii in Vancouver, British Columbia. I believe it is a type of Marasmius, but I am unsure.

    Wtb saddle and spurs cheap

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    I received my bone in the mail last week. Unfortunately, the only time off I've had to climb on it, there has been torrential rain. It's torturous. It looks great, thanks so much @surveyor !

    My favorite hitch cord is the Ocean Polyester 8mm. I really like 28" with a VT. http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=20&item=2053 Also, I may have missed this because I skimmed a few posts, but have you thought about a HAAS or SAKA?

    I really like using the pinto with my rope wrench. However, if you would like to get a hitch climber, as it has so many uses, you can get a special tether for the rope wrench. http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=1912&item=12391

    The 3:1 limb walk works with SRT. You can use a thimble and pulley or caribeaner on your line to make a 3:1 for your return from the walk.

    Thanks jmaher, I saw those.. I don't know how confident I am in my splicing, so I was wondering if there were more premade slings. My post above was poorly worded.

    I am new to the X rings. I only see a few "pre-made" ring+ sling combos on treestuff. Are there more that I am missing, or does everyone splice their own for the most part?

    Branch Tear Out

    Oh, sorry for not being clear. The house clearing is going to be undertaken. I was hoping to get some other opinions on the two limbs which suffered tear outs.. I always want to better myself and make sure I am doing what is best for the tree. Thank you for your responses.

    Branch Tear Out

    I came across a london plane today which had several broken branches on one side. The largest was approximately 4 inches in diameter. There are two limbs left with large tear wounds on them. Would you retain them, or remove them? The tree is located north east from the house and has a 15...
