    When all the accreditations and memberships mean nothing.

    I see the bigger problem of 3 groundworkers not knowing what to do and it sounds like the climber too. New untrained staff hustleing to break even and make the payroll. There'll always be walmart shoppers out there and some crew playing the price is right. Can't stop tree hacks there's been one...

    Changes at SHERRILLtree

    I wasn't thinking of Vermeer when I mentioned parasite. I was thinking of that $150 rubber stamper customs broker at the border and government duties. But in retrospect Vermeer seems to take a big bite too. I just know I put in two $2000 orders at the same time. One to Treestuff and one to...

    Changes at SHERRILLtree

    We may be hosers but we don't like getting hosed. Would a warehouse in Canada and no cross border shipping solve the bs shipping/handleing fees? Neither the customer nor supplier profits from those fees some middleman parasite gets money for nothing.

    TreeStuff and SherrillTree Join Forces

    Oh yeah I've missed treebuzz but I took all the info I learned here and mastered the craft. Now I'm trying to work at a park and do solo removals on my time off. Getting old. My unkle was bought out by a larger competitor so he stayed on to fulfill the contract until they fired him and took all...

    TreeStuff and SherrillTree Join Forces

    Who is Sherrill? Someone or something bought out Tobe, correct? Now they've bought out their competition. Is this a symptom of what capitalism has become with shareholders and numbers running the show?

    BTK side effects

    Tree climbers are more exposed than most to canopy aerial spraying. We've been sprayed here for 2 years in a row and I've been having respiratory issues both years. Any others feeling any effects?

    trees as backfill

    I was the last on to build on a steep hillside where everyone had flattened their lot and I got a cliff built from tree waste. It sucked but I fixed it up removing all the wood and building retaining walls on retaining walls. Someone ends up cleaning it up if they want solid structure. Lucky me...

    spooked today...

    Boy you sure don't want to screw up a damage control freeby. Did er at the end of the day in the rain. Tighter than the original trees of course.

    trees as backfill

    The biggest problem is it's being dumped on the unsuspecting future owners. It has value and use in landscaping but people need to know that's what they're buying and what problems and costs it will cause. I'm leaving a pit uncovered for as long as possible hoping to add more on top as it decays...

    spooked today...

    It's hard to believe we do what we do and have time to daydream or be distracted but I was too yesterday. Got some bigger fish frying right now and I put a three inch deep "knick" into a remaining clump stump cutting. Looks like the whole clump goes and the last one's a freeby. Guess I should...

    trees as backfill

    Actually even to look at it as a structural engineer the branch and stump is the strongest fiber on the tree going to waste. I thought of building buildings out of debris. Basically a trench between two piles with a roof. Could have clandestine use.

    trees as backfill

    Common sense says fill with wood debris to me. It's been called lasagne gardening or hugulkultur. If we could look at it as natural engineers rather than structural there's nothing but positives. Just keep filling in the low spots. It's not a parking lot, yet. I'm in the process of buying 160...

    Wet ear muffs

    You climbers on the wet coast have a solution to wet muffs screwing up your ears? I've been staggering like a drunk sailor with no balance for the better part of a week and lost hearing in one ear with it jammed up. Pulling out the foam and having a dry piece to switch in seems like the only...

    Arbpro Clip'N vs. HAAS 2.0

    Could I put in a request for a harder boot with spikes on the side?

    Angry, let off some steam... Yo its Friday!

    Hey yo it's Friday So it appears everything tree related is a sexual reference today in urban speak. Yes I'm getting oldish but I think this could only be good for a tree guy. I wonder if beavers will get as much attention as trees.

    Nerves of steel

    I was in a parking lot and saw a woman disappear behind a car and pop back up. I yelled banana peel? And she was shocked I'd guessed it. Only time I've seen someone slip on a banana peel.

    3 Year Old Killed in Tree Cutting Accident

    This happens. People panic, even adults run under falling trees, around the cones, ignore the briefing of five minutes earlier. I've seen it a few times can't be careful enough sometimes and control the out of control.

    Nerves of steel

    In the tree lady vid have a look how she staggers a bit four times toward the power line. I've seen and as you can imagine felt some weird stuff in my travels. I'm wondering if something unseen was out to get her. Or did she see the car turning in and just move outta the way? Anyway lucky day...
