    Treatment for board/ lag bolt compressed trees from a treehouse swing.

    I removed 2 opposite-sided 2x6s lag-bolted, with opposite-sided 2x6s lag bolted one layer of framing higher. 2 parellel flats below with 2 parellel flats above, set 90⁰ to the first.

    I recall Guy Muillier (sp?) talking about decompacting something something affected tissues.

    @climbingmonkey24 Would these services be sometime for someone else to do, leaving you with tree work only? If getting enough tree work is problematic, consider your signage, customer response time and demeanor, community contacts, salesmanship, online presence, etc. If you're a Facebook...

    A cat scratch is expensive. Getting cat urine on you is gross. I agree that it's nice to care for kitty. Also, very much the owner's fault for allowing a cat to be/ get free. Travel expenses added makes more sense. I usually am looking at a $400 minimum charge for a tree job, working class...

    If I don't think I'll move on it, I'll let you know.

    More tree work. Better advertising if your having open spots, plus increase mechanical and staff capacity. Move away from shrubs to more technical work. Add cat rescues.

    Energy absorber for rock climbing.

    I think that the use of a Screamer is like an air bag. Hope to hell to never put it to use. If you need it, it's there for you. The other day my 120' shot wasn't an ideal collar shot. Whole lot of plenty strong enough. I figure it's good to have some shock-limiting if things are SNAFU and...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    What do you think? There is a demo unit for sale that I think has about 100-200 hours on it for 25k.

    F450 surplus auction ambulance as equipment truck and tow vehicle???

    I've considered similar... also, not practical. I can go home 95% if the time, if wanted.

    There is a standardized self-belay used by pickers for the USFS. Also, climb with your back to the wind.

    F450 surplus auction ambulance as equipment truck and tow vehicle???

    I have a f450 service body. It's not well-suited as a full on tool truck. It will carry my mini, tow my chipper, and has a chip box. My f350 has a 5 door work canopy that is slightly higher than cab height. I was thinking of a rainy climate jobsite workspace and drying space for to/...

    Energy absorber for rock climbing.

    I use a Yates Screamer from time to time on SRS base-ties. Static until overloaded. I especially will use them with htp, as there is not any appreciable stretch to cushion if a redirect breaks.

    50' I'd guess. I didn't stand back and measure below-PSP to above-PSP and calculate.

    Today....

    Tree house minus dead trunk. 2-by floor will get patched. Mt. Rainier 120' PSP took a handful of BigShot attempts. I was away from the collar with lots of backups and a Yates Screamer in my base-tie. I Wraptored up after bounce-testing and pruned of the conflicting branch that fought...
