    Pricing

    I have no clue who owes what between me and my friends, as we never really kept track.

    Pricing

    I try to price mine exactly like that. I go $5-$10 cheaper, because I don't do the tagging and finishing the pros do.

    The most dangerous work yet

    I was born in '86, the cusp year between the old gaurd and the new. I prefer older vehicles that I can potentially do most of the sevicing myself if need be. I don't struggle as much with new tech as those from before my time often do, but I was raised by the old gaurd and was able to glean a...

    The most dangerous work yet

    I called a lawyer before I even filed a claim. I have never had a lawyer jump on a case so quickly, so I expect to get paid promptly.

    TGR Benefits

    I am about to start a project with TGRs and I will see if I can gather some data. That sounds logical though, since it is redirecting from one set of processes to others.

    The most dangerous work yet

    For real. Frustrating doesn't even begin to describe how I felt in that moment. It was right after work too, so I was actually with my wife and daughter, who are now seriously traumatized and can't get through a car ride without jumping out of their seat at every bump in the road. My '98 Rav is...

    The most dangerous work yet

    A lot of my family thought that my life would be way less dangerous since I started this gig, as it's mostly consulting and some sales, but I was quick to point out that it might actually be more dangerous than up close tree work. I drive in some of the craziest traffic and along some of the...

    Those are some of the simplest to make. I don't work fast, and am meticulous at each stage, but I like to do that stuff with tge fam watching a movie, so I end up having to re-check things occasionaly and even then, I would have those both done watching 2001: A Space Odessey. Call it 2.5 hours...

    I can say, without any exageration, that they add so much enjoyment to my life too, especially after what I just went through. Story to come tomorrow.

    Huge sale

    I hear you, but when I first clicked on his name, it also showed only 5 messages, which is regularly enough a red flag. Some of the more advanced scammers open accounts on tons of sites for later use, when enough time has passed to help them look legit. I'm not bothered by your grtting offended...

    Huge sale

    I must not have been here the day we stopped looking out for each other... Maybe we'll just pretend that didn't happen and keep lookin' out for our friends if it doesn't bother you too much.

    I didn't look very hard at the rope, but I see it's way different. That's pretty interesting, if not a little heavy. I'm not always bothered by that so you've got me curious to try it out.

    Shadow Puppets???

    What the actual fuck?! What an incredibly frustrating thing to read. I'm all for playful shenanigans in the right context, but you just don't "fuck around" with heavy equipment.

    Fruit tree holding on by a thread, client wants to get another year out of it. Thoughts?

    I have a weeping blue atlas cedar- very different tree type I know, but follow me for a sec- and I have been weening it off supplemental water for many years, and this year, I thought it should be established well enough to cut it off from direct water. There are enough irrigated plantings up...

    Switching between SRS & MRS....

    There is definitely a chance that you end up with some rope on rope action on retrieval after some jostling, more so with stiff ropes. I have looked at that idea, but it looked unstable giving it a few shakes.

    Arborist/ Climber job listing details--- your thoughts

    I've always felt that Brando was articulate, but some posts in the last several months have been absolutely stellar.

    Odd Ways You've Seen a Tree Accessed

    Mike Goggia used to do that! I came back to working for him after a stint with another guy and he had a big deadwooding+removals job at a trailer park, and they were lifting my buddy up with the bobcat while I raced him on a ropewalker setup. I got setup faster and made it to my TIP way before...
