    Contract Tree Climbers Association (CTCA)...

    Ok, let's brainstorm this out. If we band together we could organize potential work projects around the country but, more importantly, we should be able to come up with a group Worker's Comp/General liability policy so that we could legally sub-contract to legitimate professional tree service...

    Looking for: Hobbs Lowering Device

    Yeah, on this version you have to use padding on live trees and cut a double kerf to mount it on a takedown.

    Looking for: Hobbs Lowering Device

    Just got off the phone with Don Blair but didn't think to ask him about the rating comparison between old and new. He did tell me the Hobbs block, pictured with the device and purchase at the same time, is rated for 80,000 lbs. (yep, 20 tons!!). That's up for bids, too. You can take up slack on...

    Looking for: Hobbs Lowering Device

    I've got an original without the redirects and whatever else was modified after 1989. Hardly ever used and no grooves on the spool. I modified mine with an hardened steel handle, like a shop vise, which works well for tensioning, lifting and cleating off the line. I'll post a pic shortly. Kinda...

Pulling out hangers from below you. 2.) Picking up the chainsaw or polesaw you forgot to attach to the end of your line...

    When I work with stone dead and decaying trees (for that matter, any questionable tree) I set a line in the top of the tree, with a throw line and preferably in the top main anchor point stem, and then start pulling and yanking on the tree from all directions. The first thing that happens is all...

    Break Away Lanyard Question

    It would be a good idea to test them. My brain doesn't work with numbers so the number of split rings I chose to use just "felt right". I have to admit that I'm very hesitant when I'm on the system but that's what keeps me totally present to the situation I am in (still I should at least test...

    FU_K the coins, I do it for the gear! If you ever saw the terrain I "fish" in you'd realize there's nothing relaxing about it.
