    WTB Chipper in PNW

    He did specify 12"-14", so I didn't bother pointing out Blue Ribbons BC1000, but Ryan's 254 sounds like a match.

    Walked away after starting a job today

    That's the most basic way I know to make tree stuff go away. You can make that happen in ways that are more or less useful, but so many people I see around me just make a smoky mess.

    I don't see what's stopping them from basically just releasing a near duplicate of the reflex but with those caveats so you can't blame them for imperfect functioning. It will also still need the Chicane to work SRT. As Gordon has pointed out, any pure mechanical will require some variation of...

    I have been astonished at how bad some people are at working with fire

    Alternatives to standard asphalt around roots

    I assumed it was asphalt for traffic level. if it's a low traffic area, why not gravel it? They could even just remove the section with the tree roots to reduce the expense of removing it.

    I have replaced the barrel with white sch40 pvc because the original barrel warped when I left the cannon in the hot car after taking it to the park to practice while my daughter played. Any bag that's gonna launch well generally has a snug fit and requires tamping, but I have found that one...

    AJ Could Have Climbing Work For Weeks and Weeks in BC . . . .

    Wasn't there something about sharks being affected by antidepressants in the water off the south Florida coast? Cocaine's been studied too in marine life. You guys remember how well the natural world rebounded when we had to shut down for a year? It's amazing how much we are actively fucking...

    Alternatives to standard asphalt around roots

    I have come up against this issue A LOT lately and have been simmering on it. Silva Cells would have been awesome to have installed, but ATH covered that. I think that maybe grinding down the high spots and laying down a second layer over that section of road and basically make it a low flat...

    I got the Tree Toppler, or whatever the one that Wesspur carries is called. It's basically a 1:1 relationship height to pressure. I have definitely tried a lot of bags and such products. I like the idea of a dyneema bag, but I worry it would be exceedingly expensive to make one thick enough to...

    Any time I have tried to use AI to ID a tree I don't recognize, it has taken at least an hour of explaining to it that I know a lot of trees and it needs to stop insisting that it's a fucking chinese pistache ,or whatever ultra common tree, when I know it's not. I can eventually get it to be...

    I went digging through this phone, and it seems I need to dig out my old phone and get the pictures off of it from my last trip down there.

    I learned how to keep it straight with the ball valve that it came with, so I have been lazy about upgrading. It's got a 1.25" barrel IIRC, so it shoots the 12oz lead/10oz steel bags very nicely, but I had a 14oz lead bag that I could stuff in there that I think was a Treestuff made bag. I...

    the repeatability of the result with an air cannon is why it's my go-to. no need to mark and label a bunch of lines or calculate air temperature effects on rubber, or what state of wear the band is. I have a sufficiently high volume pump that I don't mind trading reload time for accuracy and...

    Tree oddities

    I have never seen one with so many branches that low still growing, but I must admit that I haven’t really seen any open grown ones either. Their native habitat tends to promote dense growth and lots of competition for light, until of course the cypresses establish themselves and start to shade...

    Tree oddities

    The really old ones I remember didn't have many, if any, really major low branches, but they had also see countless hurricanes. I also remember codoms being exceedingly rare on them. Crazy strong wood though, I remember most of them having intact tops, though they did stay fairly short and...
