    New device from buckingham

    You just reminded me of another great skit, Girl Drink Drunk from Kids in the Hall. Haven’t watched that in a couple decades..

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    I recently stopped listening to all news and took a break from IG. Significant life improvement. Still check headlines once a day just to make sure the sky isn’t falling. I’ve had times when I’ve been hyper focused on global and local issues but I decided this spring I want to actually enjoy my...

    Oak wilt disease documented in northeastern Massachusetts?

    Sharpening options for 540iXP?

    That may have been me saying that. Definitely my experience. Abstinence is the best policy.. Aka keep your top handles away from the ground and from your groundies…

    Beech Leaf Disease

    Pretty good study on efficacy of Arbortect 20-S to control BLD, in the newest copy of Arboriculture and Urban Forestry. Sounds like it’s a pretty good option. There’s a discrepancy in the results based on timing of treatment as well- the treatments applied on Aug 7 and July 11 performed better...

    Neruo Divergence (ND). In arboriculture

    This is an amazing post and worth a re-read. I was thinking about this idea today and had a vague memory of this thread. Bumping it to get a bigger sample size (Your vote counts! Lol) I changed my vote. One day I started looking around and realized all my closest friends are...

    Today....

    Had the new guy retrieve a block in this Black oak. 49” DBH. It survived Helene, with a sizable hickory leaning on it (which was the job of the day). The mostly dead tree in the background is a walnut about 36” DBH. Not the clients tree. The picture below is the trigger point, sort of. After...

    F250 Dump Thoughts

    Mine was (is, still, I guess) a 86 diesel f250 with a dump bed. Obviously it’s a lot older than what you’d play with, but dang it can’t do much. I love the company f550, it’s such a great workhorse. A f250 or even f350 will always have a limit of towing and payload capacity that will hamper...

    Small Jobs

    I will deflect jobs to small one person operations too... I dunno. The crew is set up for full day jobs and so that’s where we make the most profit. $1000 is about the smallest job we see unless it’s an add-on for a neighbor.

    ART BlackBird for "MRT and SRT"

    Omg I want that. I love how you pull from the middle of the device to descend, so much closer to you. This climber reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite… Very slick looking device. $620 msrp

    Small Jobs

    I love it. Lol Set-up fee is a nice one, keeps the nonsense away and is an honest reflection of the time it takes to get to the job site, unload, load, and get back to the shop.

    Large, uprooted doug-fir laying into another doug-fir... thoughts?

    Looks like a lot of jobs I rolled up to post Helene. Pretty simple to work out. Climb out of the hung up tree, brush out the leaner, get it down to the trigger cut, cut last little pressure point from the bottom and get ready for a little ride. Make sure your chain brake is operational and your...

    Seed Collecting / Tree Climbing

    I went on iNaturalist and saw one entry for clammy locust that turned out to be bogus. Then another for southern sugar maple that was actually a black maple. There’s an entry for southern sugar maple in the UNCA botanical gardens though that I imagine is accurate, and it should be making seeds...

    Need a new mechanical

    Yes. I bought one in 2017, a second in 2018, and haven’t bought a device since.

    Need a new mechanical

    I use an OG RR for crane work and all work and have wanted for nothing.

    Seed Collecting / Tree Climbing

    At the conference in Memphis Kim Coder got me energized about assisted climate migration. They’ve got baby live oaks growing in Philadelphia! I’d love to grab live oak acorns from the northern most part of their range (piedmont?) and start some here. Long leaf pines seem to be a good bet too...

    Seed Collecting / Tree Climbing

    Andrew!! Good to see you on here. I’d pay good money for some robinia viscosa seeds. Only place I could find them was off a guy in New Hampshire on Etsy. Lol. They’re supposedly native to here but I’ve never seen em. They’d probably be blooming right about now along with the black locusts, but...

    How's the work flow?

    Same. Overall economy is broken in our area, esp post Helene, and everyone and their cousin started a tree company after the storm. Calls are more essential hazard mitigation for middle class folks rather than maintenance / restoration prunes for the wealthy.

    I fell yesterday

    Glad you’re safe Matias. Takes a long while to shake it off- you’ve always been a reflective thoughtful learner and I’m sure you’ll take away a lot from this.

    That goofy dork looking guy Nick from Tree Stuff can shove it.

    I earned my $8m day rate already when I pointed out the 60% of the pentagon’s assets are unaccounted for. Cutting their budget by 60% seems in order, at the least. You told me to be patient and wait for Doge to get to it. What’s the holdup? While I’ve been waiting I’m watching people get...
