    PPE for those who need it.

    Don’t get distracted by conspiracy theories. There is a standing army of police officers who carry automatic weapons, SWAT uniforms, armored vehicles, and all manner of surveillance. We’ve seen them murder civilians day after day for our entire lives. Don’t make this more complicated than that...

    PPE for those who need it.

    This is fantastic Evo. Asheville Police destroyed a medic tent last night that had permission from the city and business owners to be there. Shortly after curfew police officers attacked the medics who were clearly marked and did not fight back. They proceeded to destroy (cut and drain) every...

    Leaning Tree on a Creek Bank

    The limbs are growing upright and from the photo seems to represent several years of growth following whatever event made it lean so dramatically. I think Jonny has a good idea. I’d consider making a cut on the furthest point to the left. It would be nice to leave more, but it looks like your...

    Help! Can I save this maple?

    Mimosa is highly invasive. I’m not in Ohio but a quick search for native understory trees in Ohio - Buckeye, pawpaw, serviceberry, American hornbeam, and I’m sure there are many other good choices for your area... although they will be getting a lot more sun then they would in a native habitat...

    Chainsaw chipping?

    Wait till they are dry and brittle, stomp on them a bunch, drive over it with a truck or tractor, turn with a pitchfork, throw your dogs ball into it and have him jump in it over and over, wait a month and repeat one or more times. These are the kinds of things we will be doing more of in...

    buying SENA inter com, need advice

    The muffs are a very effective noise isolation which allows for much better audio on the sena, I don’t know how it would work otherwise. You can still hear each other talk about what you had for dinner last night while bucking up a log with a 461. How cool is that! If you want to keep your...

    Easy DIY Lanyard organizer

    I’ve had no problems with this cord clamp from Home Depot (<$2). I have a 20’ lanyard and keep 10’ of it coiled up in this manner- I keep two loops available (short enough my foot doesn’t step through the wrong way) and that takes care of most of my lanyard needs. I probably only take out the...

    portable chainsaw mill

    It depends on how big trees get where you are, in NC I haven’t seen much more than 5’, and that’s always a silver maple. I run a gb 48” on an 880 which covers 95% of what I’d want to mill... and that’s fine with me. A 36” would handle more than half and I’m considering setting up with that as...

    Disposing/utilizing the lumber from what's cut (context: want to build a cabin :) )

    Thanks! Yes, I do feel great! It was a long project. Here’s a pic of downstairs. The dining table is chainsaw milled locust and the cabinet faces are white oak (quarter-sawn, scored from previous employer). Also a pic of the stairs as we were finishing them. (I’ve installed trim since this pic)

    Disposing/utilizing the lumber from what's cut (context: want to build a cabin :) )

    I bought a larger parcel with a doublewide on it for very little money- it meant I could get a traditional mortgage and move right in. My wife and I spent a year and a half building a 16x16 cabin with a loft and just moved into it in February. No inspections. Buried septic and electric and...

    Zipline : how to anchor on two trees, one trunk.

    Girthing any kind of gear around the tree is going to choke the vascular tissue for a majority of the circumference of the tree, whereas a through-bolt or other hardware will only affect a much smaller percentage... girthing is probably only suitable for a short term temporary setup.

    How does Coronavirus COVID-19 alter our workflow?

    The virus lives on plastic and metal for 2-3 days, which is most things we touch on a job. Also, even if you sanitize everything and wear gloves and no one touches their hand, the virus can become airborne as someone talks or breathes heavily and likely end up on shared tools. It’s worth noting...

    European Tree of the Year

    “Two witch trees, in the Netherlands and Ireland, also scored highly.” Anyone know about this species?

    Cutting my climbing while I'm hanging from it .

    How crazy does an experiment have to be for you to buckle your helmet to your head? I guess this didn’t rise to that level?
