    Fun, not really.

    Those are some really cool pics. bud. I always enjoy seening jobs in progress. Big limbs over a house can be a major pain in the @$$! Just imagine craning a 60 inch maple out of a backyard in the middle of downtown only to have the second to the last piece spin out of the sling hit the ground...

    Mountain Biking

    I ride a full supsension cannondale. Love it. Story goes I was ripping down a small in town trail. The hill is known as killer hill. Make a long story short i hit the brakes awhile before the trail ended. I had so much speed built up that brakes weren't cutting it. I came screaming out into...

    Pole Saw Safety

    Very true Oakwilt. Polesaws are very handy to retieve or place a line but man do the lines get pricked and frayed somethin' fierce. On another note could you imagine dropping a polesaw out the top of a tree for a groundie to catch and do it in every single tree? Almost all of the climbers that...

    throwball

    I hear what your sayin' sizzler even just throwin' old school that line will burn right thru your finger. I got the burn lines on the right index finger to prove it! Just recently I got smart and started wearing a glove.

    Access line

    When I access a tree SRT I carry my climbing line in a small backpack. So when I reach my tie in point I just clip in to my climbing line and throw the backpack outta the tree. Also like Gareth said climbing on a seperate climbing line than your access line allows for a different climber to...

    fatality in florida

    My sympathies go out to the loved ones and friends. Like Norm and MasterBlaster said stay away if you havn't be trained powerlines are bad news. And another reason why I stay away from steel core flipline.

    Pole Saw Safety

    Its hard to swing around with a polesaw I can't tell ya how many times i have totally forgotten the polesaw in one part of the tree, cont. to work and had to back track half way across the tree just to get that frickin' polesaw! Their not only dangrous but their also a pain in the @$$!

    Bee line prussik cord

    I climb on both the 8mm Beeline and the HRC on a regular basis. I love the consistent feeling, grip, and durablity of the HRC. Well worth the money. As far as the 8mm Beeline goes I like the softness and the overall feel on it. A couple of things i don't really like about it is its very easy...

    Access line

    I really enjoy it so far. The only knot that I ever use though is a running bowline to terminate one end so it becomes just an access line.

    Arbor Wear Tech 11 pants

    I hear that I love my Arborwear Tech pants! In fact i pretty much live in my tech pants. As far as I'm concerned their the bread and butter of my wardrobe whether I'm climbing, sitting around, or playin' some disc golf!

    Pole Saw Safety

    This winter i was holding the ladder steady while the first climber was at the top of the ladder getting ready to place his line. Make a long story short he hung his polesaw about thirty feet up on a half inch dead branch. Just as i looked up to see how he was progressing the branch broke and...

    Access line

    I just picked up a chunk of KMIII which is New England's static line (even though i've heard it is only semi-static) but so far I love it. Its 11mm and works great foot locking or for the long hauls a pantin.

    B'fly II Waist Height!!

    Re: B\'fly II Waist Height!! My B'Fly II is just above my hips but like others have said it does tend to creep or float up esp. during akward positions. As far as the Glide goes i work with a couple of guys that use the glide everyday and they love it the only thing i don't like about it is...

    ECHO YES or NO??

    I myself use a 192 and i love it. I'm a small guy so the light weight and short bar is right up my alley for pruning. Unless you tune it though keep the 12" bar. I have found that stock it doesn't have enough power to use a 14" bar efficently.

    throwball

    Throwballs can be really dangerous! I know a guy, when he released the throwball it when about twenty feet, wrapped around his something on his saddle, came flying back and nailed him right in the adams apple! Kinda funny and serious at the same time!

    Linden on roof

    Nice pics! At least the damage was only minor it could have been a whole lot worse. I guess luck was on the home owners side after all. The GRCS can be a real life saver and time saver (thanks Mr. Good). Congrates on a job well done!

    Congrates to all esp. Glen and Rebecca. I would also like to say way to go to David and Nicky from Rainbow Treecare we're all really proud to say we get to climb with (and deal with you) on a day to day basis. And to Raven no worries bud you'll kill the comp. next year.
