    Don’t buy any data on either side as divine truth, just take suggestions and do what makes one feel healthy. Great responses!

    Chainsaw Shopping

    We have a ported 2511t with .325 gauge (xcut) that pulls a 16” buttery smooth. If it’s not a crane job it’s my first grab. There’s a local guy who has been porting 261’s, apparently they’re bananas with a 20”, could maybe pull more even. My old favorite is a 261 with a simple muffler mod and...

    10mm lanyard options

    my primary lanyard is a regular ass 12-14 foot 11.5 whatever with nice enough grip. 10mm as a second lanyard has been the best addition to my harness ever. Bunches up with two daisy chains and hooks cleanly to the terminating carabiner idk 1/2 the size of a basketball or something. Larger 2nd...

    patellofemoral arthralgia, tree work, and misalignment

    “which muscles and how” Good way to put it. Physical therapy is also imminent. My doctor is respectful, kept calling me a tree surgeon which is a little funny considering his profession but ignored the idea that I climb the trees and haven’t been on a ladder in 5 years lol. I hope addressing...

    patellofemoral arthralgia, tree work, and misalignment

    I suppose I shouldn’t have said “reluctant to see” but “reluctant to rely solely on” I intend to see one in addition to anything else tried. Coming from an industry where people constantly undermine professionals vs helmetless crackheads in cutoffs, I value a professional opinion :b

    patellofemoral arthralgia, tree work, and misalignment

    I’ve been having knee pain for the past 6 months or so, pretty constant. Mostly left knee but also right. Finally got my life sorted and went to the doc yesterday (one I halfway trust) who told me his first thought is “patellofemoral arthralgia.” Generally caused by repeated bending on one knee...

    10mm lanyard options

    I’ve been using 10mm OP as a second lanyard for a long time now. Bundles up so nice and small, easy to stash anywhere on the saddle. Coming time to replace, has anyone had experience with other 10mm options? 10mm seems to be just the right size for occasional deployment. Can be yanked on by the...

    Coronet Pruning and other Wildlife Habitat Incorporation

    Looking forward to this discussion. Looked up coronet cuts a few months ago and some good results come up on some of the other older tree forums. Very popular in England in areas like parks that have had the deadwood removed for many many years in order to attract the organisms that rely on...

    Seeking safe method re crane TIP

    I don’t think we will ever have a 100% return on dreaming up failsafes. At some point we all have to trust our skill and knowledge of the system. Maybe it’s even good for us and our brains? Not sure what your setup with crane looks like, but I can usually rappel something like 4-7 feet with my...

    No More TreeFlex Saddle?

    @Tom Dunlap if you go to sell it keep me in mind! I’d keep it largely as a historical artifact!

    No More TreeFlex Saddle?

    I started climbing well after it was discontinued but I had the pleasure of donning Tom D’s somewhat recently. It has the most epic level of hipbone hug some of the now defunct great saddles had. Kinisi and TM seem to have ditched it so my t.m light will have to be ridden until it absolutely...
