    Rigging block sizing and slings

    :endesacuerdo: (I'm NOT referring to any particular post, just almost all of them on rigging rope size and hardware). Have any of you ever broken a rigging rope at work? I have not, 21 years in tree service business and I have never broken a rigging rope during work. In my mind, that is the...

    Steel core lanyard failure.

    over a year ago, maybe two years ago now, a friend in California told me that their employee went to go spike up a tree using a steel core flipline. After about 5 feet off the ground, the flipline broke and he fell. Luckily he was near the ground. The cable looked great in the visual area, but...

    Yeah, when it's on the inside, it gets messy, you've got to gut them with a knife, shove your hand inside them and feel around to find the warmth. This poor corpse on my property has lost all his warmth I think. Covered in freezing rain, he looks quite cold and scary. I don't want to be like...

    Heck no. Not yet. Still do the weekend drinking or weekday if the weather is bad the next day type of drinking to give that vacation feel from stress. Too much info for the public, but I can't deny the truth if you ask.

    TC, Exciting and very informative response. I figured you were going to say you lived near a marine store and so you just bought a few out of convienece. Didn't realize u were in the UK either. Yes TreeKit in the UK is carrying the XRRs. Learned a lot from you, I had no idea UK people...

    I never knew about capstan winches. Originally, i actually thought Greg designed that part too. I really appreciate him bringing it to arborists.

    If Greg sold the harken capstan by itself and I needed one and it was the same price; you bet I'd give him my business.

    Of course that article is shared via facebook and stuff, so there is likely of other sites roasting him as well. Tree guys don't take well to boasting and bad work.

    Well that's a good thing. He can now rethink his wording and make it a better site. customers were never going to speak up and tell him how inflated it sounded. Tree guys are harsh. Most of us need to be knocked down a few notches now and then and swallow some humility. I wasn't going...

    Daniel Murphy

    Daniel Murphy is someone I banged heads with for many years on the internet, Treebuzz and YouTube. On thread topics that we disagreed on and I could not seem to get to him and change him, I attacked him personally on the buzz. (I probably should have been banned for a while) I don't think he...

    I blame all. But it's not as shocking as the self deifying of Bad Ass Badeaux (pronounced Bad oe). It blows my mind for someone to build themself up more than I have built myself up :vomito:. What the heck is wrong with that kid?

    Treelogic, I wanted to say thanks for your time BTW. For those of us that aren't familiar with the specie, about how old would live oaks that size be? I think they grow really slow, right? My brother lives in Mississippi and the communities there charish them. If they grow slow, there...

    Wow. He took pride in the flat plane of simulated lazer cutting. It almost looked photo shopped before in that article.
