    Did TuffBurger actually DISCONTINUE the dual-rope bridge on TreeMotion?

    LMFAO!!!! Yeah, when you visit their website you can see, they just a wee company, struggling to survive. :rolleyes: And, that's xtra hilarious to me cause they put the same expensive para-grade snaps on both leg cuffs as on the waist cinch. Both of which i NEVER use. i simply step thru...

    Stihl MS194T powerhead, no oil for 2nd time now

    This problem 'fixed itself'. And here I thought that kind of thing was only a myth. I took the bar off, all ready to hit the oil groove w/air, and when I started it up, the oil was pumping forth. This in contrast to running the powerhead for several mins the day before, at different RPMs, and...

    Stihl MS194T powerhead, no oil for 2nd time now

    I've posted about this before, in this thread: https://www.treebuzz.com/forum/threads/theft-all-4-of-my-saws.46501/#post-720960 I called the shop and asked if blowing some compressed air thru the tank, maybe with some kind of makeshift rubber stopper w/hole in center, might help. The lead tech...

    I've named my telescopic reach tool...

    Here's a retrofit I did to that reach tool, made for wires, that I got as a backup to Christina Reachy. Even the largest hook available to order as an accessory for that telescopic from CABLEORGANIZER.COM was not appropriate. The inside of the hook has serrations, which might possibly keep a...

    new Stihl tree saw already cost me for repairs (also, M-Tronic tech tip)

    Thanks Reach! That's a nice cool mist of fire suppressing wisdom on my friction inducing frustration! It IS a good saw. The price is a little LuLu, but then again, so is just about everything right now. Except for HotWheelz. I saw a thing onna news. But prolly just touching a...

    new Stihl tree saw already cost me for repairs (also, M-Tronic tech tip)

    i love that you brought up Battery Jets. I have a little bit o' absolutely unfounded, unverified, personally paranoid conspiracy theory rhetoric for you all. Okay class, gather round... Iiiiiiiiiiiiii think... the reason Y the US gov't is pushing SO hard for EV's, is cause the...

    new Stihl tree saw already cost me for repairs (also, M-Tronic tech tip)

    well, of course, it's ALWAYS the way right... since it was a very local job, only a 10min ride, i fig'd i'd only take 1 tree saw and a MS250 18" for felling. if i traverse far, of course i go redundant w/saws. but the 201T had never given me reason to doubt it (in all my LONG 8 months of...

    new Stihl tree saw already cost me for repairs (also, M-Tronic tech tip)

    Awhile back i posted that all my shit was ripped off, and i had to replace all my saws. among those taken was a vintage MS200T (one of you commented, '2008 is vintage? that makes me feel old' or something like that. Truth) anyway, my only choice was the MS201TCM. cause i balked @ the...

    Sticht Hitch

    I am now schooled (grade-schooled, maybe) in the sticht hitch. But my initial thought is, it would B difficult 4 me to try this, cause it seems like it requires an elongated prusik tail. the Tyrannosaur has a hard enough time reaching his friction hitch to begin with. i don't think i'd B able...

    Covid Close To You

    It's very unpredictable in terms of how it affects different people. I had it around Christmas 2021, confirmed later by bloodwork from a physical in, maybe Feb, 2022. Wicked sore throat for 2 days, but after that, just coughing up mucous for 2 weeks. More like bronchitis. No fever...

    Tying climb lines together

    In those instances where I can keep a more or less constant tension on the bend I use a carrick. Holds fast as long as you don't slack it and it's ridiculously easy to break no matter how much tension you apply. Never tried it w/dissimilar diameters, or diss. types of rope. I'll have to look...

    I just read Mark's 'Passion before Fashion'

    It reminded me about a few accessories I love to have, and really miss if i forget them, depending on the weather. One is a really good absorbent headband. I found these to be excellent: https://www.suddora.com/products/multiple-color-plain-head-sweatbands They don't let any sweat into my...
