    Switching between SRS & MRS....

    ring on a prusik is back to the og secret weapon. I really wanna try a one way pulley on MRS. That sounds nice.

    Odd Ways You've Seen a Tree Accessed

    I hadn't thought about it in a good long while, but I used to do similar stupid shit when I was just getting comfortable with my first saw, a 550mk2, dismantling grey pines I had jackstrawed into piles before I knew how stupid that was to do. Man, the more I think about my first year and change...

    Odd Ways You've Seen a Tree Accessed

    Before I had any ascenders, I put prusiks on each of my feet and had a chicane one my ZZ. I did that at a job interview, and it must have impressed the guy because he hired me, and we kept working together on and off for 5 years until I moved.

    Shagbark Hickory preservation

    I am not the OP, but I don't recall any pre construction documentation. Yea, at that size I really doubt they grew in the last two years.

    Shagbark Hickory preservation

    I agree that it looks like it’s been buried a good while. That has me worried that this decline has been a long time coming. What about air sparing a drainage trench and installing a French drain?

    tree working and hernias

    damn, that sux to get it twice, but glad you're already past surgery. Mine took 8 weeks for light duty work, but still felt like I couldn't go 100% until the 14th or 15th week. that light duty was still good for lifting about 40-50 pounds

    You can shave them down, but some are too far gone sometimes, and then what? I suppose that is what I need to ask each nursery

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    The one's I've seen have a bit of taper, flared wider to the top. I have never unboxed a tree, as I have learned by trial and error that I tend to get much nicer results from planting very young trees. It doesn't take long for them to become so vigorous that they catch up, and yield a better...

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    Every municipality I have checked about here requires boxes specifically. We definitely have options here, but they all insist on the same. Sounds like a nursery that actually did things right could potentially be a good business.

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    I considered asking if I could get B&B, but I am already getting them to stray from their rules to get a species that makes more sense in that site than what's on their list, and they sounded adamant in reiterating that it must be a "minimum 24" box tree" I would love to get the specs for that...

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    To keep closer to the heart of the question, how do you deal with ensuring that there aren't deal-breaker root issues? I figure that I can definitely probe the edges of the root mat, and I think I should be strong enough to tip the tree a bit to make a gap from which I can inspect one side. I...

    I did not know, or I've forgotten if it's been discussed, that there is such a thing as a 48" auger. Which machine do you run that on?

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    how big was the auger? that doesn't seem wide enough to plant a 24" box... I would like to see at minimum, a 36" wide hole, and really more like 48"-60". I assume that you'd also stop a little short on the depth and then adjust by hand so as not to disturb the soil below the desired depth.
