    A Thinker

    I so agree with you Ryan and Steve. You guys like me have been on TreeBuzz for years and have benefited from Norm and many others. I try now to give back to younger members and pass on some of the nuggets of knowledge that I have gained from all my mentors.

    RIP Norm Hall

    Here's a great "Norm Hall Tip" from many years ago that he shared with us here on TreeBuzz: How do you protect the pavement on the driveway when falling a large stem across it? Stack 2 sheets across the driveway and then lay hay across them.

    RIP Norm Hall

    Just heard about Norm from Nick's post on IG. So sad. He taught me so much throughout his years here on TreeBuzz. Was just chatting with him this past spring on the phone after coming back from the crane workshop in PA about his self-equalizing rig for crane picks. Never seen anyone do that...

    SAKA FLAKA (Fixed Leg Advancing Knee Ascender) Mod

    I have one and it's not too good and way too expensive. HAAS and SAKA are both way better.

    Rope Bridges?

    On my TreeFlex saddles (which are no longer made), I have always run webbing for bridges, but am thinking of switching over to a rope bridge. What recommendations do you guys have? I know Monkey Beaver runs Arbormaster 16 strand solid braid, I used to climb on that stuff about 20 years ago.

    Maine climber killed in accident

    Yup, sounds like he was still tied into the top. Did that once years ago, myself and stayed tied into the top. We were rigging it down and thank God my ground worker saw my line still in the top. He snubbed it off on the Porta-Wrap. Still dragged me down a bit and I cut off my climb line to...
