    chainsaw pants

    i wear sips on removal days. they don't fit me very well, but are better under a saddle than chaps at least for me. bill at arborwear is a pretty dang approachable guy - why don't you shoot him an email? my guess is the market isn't big enough for women's sizes, but it can't hurt to speak up k

    wilderness first responder course for arborists

    Re: wilderness first responder course for arborist yeah, i know what you mean. aikido seminars are the same way - the proverbial cup runneth over, but the wallet does not. the travel is prohibitive for me too murph. too bad. michael promised more advanced notice for the next course, fwiw. k.
