    Husqvarna Demos

    Not sure what you mean by "demos". I understand the 7 day satisfaction guarantee that's a nice policy from Husky, but I want to actually demo a new model saw! And yes I heard that too about the 572 - supposed to be shweet, I know the 562 is an awesome little ripper. Good things from Husky these...

    Knots VS. Carabiners

    So that's a super hard question to answer without meeting the guy and witnessing his climbing style first-hand. A couple things can be inferred though, firstly I can bet even the oldest of old school guys is using at least two "clips", or steel rope snaps in their climbing system. Are you...

    Comeback big pine

    Nice fun climb Moss, P. Strobus is my favorite tree - king of the eastern forest. It looks like you are careful to NOT prune any deadwood or even kick off potentially hazardous stubs, can you briefly explain the philosophy there?

    Akimbo, Bulldog or Rope Runner

    Welcome aboard Windwalker! To answer your question without rehashing the entire 10+ year conversation on why SRT and what device is best for what situation I'll simply say one word: AKIMBO. The process for getting one? Wait patiently and don't hold your breathe, enjoy that amazing HH2 as long...

    How could anyone think this is a good idea?

    WOW! Why, who, what the F??? So many things to shake head at there, where to begin. Looks like day two of a big project - they had a bunch of work done and hauled away, they had previously used a lift or climbed to top the tree so why not piece it down a bit more? They had a tag line set in the...

    Service drop power line - Pay Attention!

    Thread reviving because I'm putting together a safety program and just re-reading all the info I can. According to several of my local utility workers (linemen not line clearance tree workers), who have shown up to drop service lines for me: the LV service lines are considered just like a heavy...

    Hiring Experienced Arborists in San Francisco

    Hi Shawn, welcome aboard matey! Just click on the person's name in their avatar then go to "start a conversation" - it's like private messaging to exchange phone #s and stuff. Although @arborist32 might be a robot or a staffing service or something? - her only posts are in the Job Finder and...

    This is the Akimbo

    I just hope they don't add some limiting safety feature to comply with another industry's standards. One of the great features of this thing is it's easy on/off the rope - if they screw that up somehow I'll just cry :llorando:

    Indoor climbing?

    I use a couple indoor rock walls to keep in shape during the winter slow months. But the dream is a big indoor tree climbing gym with real trees for training and fun. It'll have 50' tie in points and a glass ceiling so we can see the stars during night climbs and a big woodstove in the corner...

    Any more work in California...from the fires?

    Not trying to scare you off, CA in the winter is nice. Check in job finder I think there are a couple buzzers in the Grass Valley area needing help - local guys not disaster relief

    Any more work in California...from the fires?

    Yes Phillips and Jordan did pay pretty well on that one, - eventually. But had to wait too long to get squared up through the layers of subs, and they were tight about per diems and travel pay. All in all it was a nice vacation with a paycheck but I'd not do it again without a signed and...

    Rigging a 200 Foot Zipline

    SRT makes it possible. I often use the wrench to zip to another tree - toss the monkey fist, groundie holds or locks tail, I zip across usually slow and careful but I bet the Akimbo makes it better - nice cameo in the vid there btw

    Rigging a 200 Foot Zipline

    Nice setup Moss, I like the Grigri so they can get down or get slack when they reach the bottom - could a RADS system work there as well so going up the ladder all they have to do is pull the tail to ascend?

    Subbing out cleanup

    I don't own a chipper or clam either, but I know a lot of guys who do and they're generally happy to help me out and get their hourly rate or rate per load. The customer understands all these "extra" costs upfront and it all comes out of their pocket - no extra cost for me. However, I do have to...
