    New helmet

    Kask sits snug. They have the best visor IMO. The hell with glasses unless is dark and dreary....mirrored visor or yellow star lights

    Saluting Branches.

    We sent two crews up to Sailsbury NC for it today, but I wasn't on either crews . Wish I could have participated.

    Video of a friend's tree operation...

    Looks like a lot of fun and a lot of people's jobs made a lot easier and safer!

    Define yourself; what do you call yourself

    I've taken a test and have numbers with my name, so I'm an arborist. I guess I'm the #2 climber on the crew, behind the crew leader. When people ask, I say arborist.

    Anyone repair their boots?

    Stitched it today with the Michaels brand of Speedy Stitch. It looks hideous. Hopefully it'll hold it and keep it from spreading. The slice was clean but of course not being able to come from the inside, it raised a seam.

    Anyone repair their boots?

    That's what the plan is. Looked at Walmart. They say they carry em, but apparently it was ship to store, not in stock. May check one other place before heading up to HF (30min drive)

    Anyone repair their boots?

    The pic is misleading. The cut goes all the way through the leather and rubber and stops just outside the gortex layer. I think it'll rip open and run if I don't stitch it some how. I just don't know exactly what I need to do it with. I'm thinking some sort of hooked needle like they use to...

    Anyone repair their boots?

    Not a chance, about to order another pair lol. Still got 12s for $155USD where I bought these. I love them. I'd like to have another pair for that price just so I dont have to pay $200 for some stupid new color.

    Anyone repair their boots?

    I feel like it needs to be stitched too, just becAuse of the location, at a naturally tight spot in the boot, before applying anything else?

    September slump

    Going through it myself. I can't stay awake once I get home, not sleeping well, but I'm tired and fall asleep as soon as I hit the bed. I do know that my eating and drinking (non alcoholic ) habits aren't as good as they usually are. Lots of lunch on the run or from the gas station. Same with...

    Anyone repair their boots?

    Not sure what I'm more upset over, they fact that they're cut (only about a month or two old) or the fact that I have zero clue when or how it happened? I can't remember making a chainsaw cut near my foot. It's a fairly clean cut. Thinking maybe I could stitch it then put some sort of adhesive...

    New helmet

    I have a Kask, no complaints. In the NC/Charlotte area heat. Anything is going to be hot. Sure it may get a little funky, but what doesn't? I wear mesh backed ball caps (not working) and they get funky just like anything else, so that arguement holds no water with me. I have a fairly big head...

    Rope Wrench

    To be honest I haven't in a while. I want to think I tried but the legs of the tether wouldn't clear the middle hole to leave it open. I'll check it today to be sure. I'm sure you know better than I do lol. I need to use a smaller biner, but just haven't dug one out.

    Rope Wrench

    That's why I've been toying with the pinto when I get a chance. May have to look into that set up too.

    Rope Wrench

    Yep when I lived in MN it was dormant season only unless it was storm work.... I can't use the top hole of the HC with the oceans I don't think. I had to use the bottom hole. Still trying to fine tune.
