    Looks like the freak Doug-fir I hoped to have found is a "Skagit Weeper".

    Saw pants sales?

    Looking for 32"x36" pants? Any deals online or pants for sale for my summer employee. I saw Zeros on sale and Husqy pants. Mostly groundwork, some climbing this year. More climbing next summer if not in an engineering internship.

    FREE Branch Manager "Pro" Grapple

    That's fantastic! Love the cartoon... reminds me of someone I know. Dave was very encouraging when I was making the tree career- changing jump to a BMG-mini setup.

    Hypoxylon Canker? :(

    Comparing the same soil under a tree in a heavily trafficked area like a walking path through the CRZ versus the general compacted area under a tree versus an unimpacted area seems useful translate what we already qualitatively know into something quantitative for bean counters. Soils are a...

    Trail Cam and Wildlife Thread

    A customer that's 0.5 mile from my house/ shop had a cougar on her cam. Bear sightings near us happen, too. Sometimes, cougars are on homeowners' decks in the local vicinity.

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    When I am not cutting And catch/ lower/ landing the 'work', my common plan is for the groundworker to catch the load, them pass the load to me, giving me a way to help/ work and reducing their tasks, freeing up hands. As practical, I'll use a rope that is less than double the height of the...

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    I rarely use a regular POW. Most often it's climber rig/ cut/ lower on NC (with it without a leather cambium saver with/ without stubs (zero marketing department, zero blingy anodizing, good bend radius, remotely installable, lightweight, portable, free, etc), the BMG grapple bollard, rarely...

    Family came in and I set down my phone, probably bumping 'Post Reply'. Forum discussion fills waiting time. Might have been waiting outside the Fitting Room while shopping for summer camp.

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    edit (unintended partial post that's been finished): I try to have conversations with crew about how things went, how much effort is being exerted, how stable things feel. If things are amiss, Stop. Adjust the plan. Nail it. For the effort of a Maasdam rope-puller being advanced, the...

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    I have a very different, exclusive meaning for "let it run". Contrast: "snub it off"/ "lock it off". That flip is a major strike compared to a fixed bollard.

    Can you reduce it out of striking distance?

    Side question: who has fouled or lost some wrap a droopy POW, particularly negative rigging, particularly longer pieces, I'd think?
