Hello. I'm just curious about this set of statements. "Have sold some work in the past, but honestly where I am now I am disincentivized to do so. Which I don’t really like."
So I'm wondering what form the disincentive take? It seems like the company owners are leaving money on the table...
Do you think that this is the result of inflation causing people to choose not to have tree work done, because they need the money to pay for the ever increasing price of all the usual necessities? Thanks, in advance, for any opinions you'd care to share.
Hello, Redbud33. Welcome to the TreeBuzz forum, just in case that hasn't happened for you yet.
I am not a pro climber, so take what I say with a huge grain of salt. If any senior members wish to correct me for any wrong impressions I might have, I welcome it.
You might not be saying it...
Hello, islandarb. Please forgive this newbie question. When you talk about joining two shorter lengths of rope for use with a base tied SRT system, what is your method of joining the two ropes together? Do you put termination knots on biners and then connect to a piece of rigging hardware in...
Sorry to hear about the troubles your Dawn Redwood is having. I hope your new one thrives. Good on ya for leaving the sickly one alone for a bit. Can't hurt to let it have some time to try to survive. Thanks for posting this update. TimBr
Hi folks. I hope it's ok to post a link. This is a gentleman whose background I am unsure of, but who seems like a forester or scientist. He explains how replanting trees after cutting down Old Growth will never recreate what was lost. I thought it was an interesting explanation. I think he...
Slightly off topic, but related to your post. I once listened to one of those funny 911 calls they get once in awhile. The caller says "My buddy is hurt bad, he needs an ambulance!" The 911 operator asks "What street are you on, sir?" The caller says "Eucalyptus Avenue". The 911 operator...

Hello, @Shadowscape!
Welcome to the TreeBuzz forum! I think you are going to like it here! Congratulations on making your first couple of posts to the forums, especially in such important threads!

I think if I tried to jump into an ice bath like that, it might cause a catastrophe & the demise of our local solar system, because my family jewels would shrink so fast, they'd cause a black hole to form in this part of our galaxy.
I hope this is ok. There is a guy on the other tree forum who I think is absolutely brilliant. He is a welder who geeks out on rigging stuff, and asked permission, I think, to start a big thread dealing with all of the old school techniques. It's been a long time, but I think I might have...
This is about the coolest rigging success story I've personally ever seen! Amazing result. Two guys talking on an internet forum across the country from each other, sharing knowledge that almost immediately gets used to pull off a tough job.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. I love...
Welcome to the TreeBuzz forum, @Dsuttle! Sorry to hear about your injury. I hope you heal well and quickly.
You should ask your doctor if you'll be able to play the piano once the injury heals? If he says yes, tell him "That's geat. I could never play the piano before, but I've always...
