    Today....

    Rain in the morning with a little saw maintenance. Back to a job we were working on for 2 half days before Christmas and a half day before New YearsIta 32"x150' fir near the water started heaving in the wind with saturated ground. Solo today, first day back. Break in the weather ...

    Today....

    Munters are super useful. A Super-munter is, too. for NC: An extra wrap, spread into a spiral by clipping into a sling and biner away from the final friction point helps get more friction without binding and moves the lowering end into an advantageous position away from the direct action.

    Bid that tree!

    Pics with a person close to the tree for scale, or a known-size object that's available, would help. How is access in and (loaded) out? Distance to shop? Disposal method?

    Does it overhang the house? To me, an important aspect of this thread is contact 'spec' phrasing. How would you write this job in your contract?

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    No, he's a Stable Genius that knows words and can pass a very basic mental competency test with flying colors and can mock disabled people and war heroes and fallen soldiers better than anybody. Nobody else even knows how to promote Yo-sem-ite.

    Favourite SRS rope?

    Idk how well htp bends under load smoothly. HH's don't bend the rope at all.

    Sycamore and Elm climbing.

    Leather tube cambium savers are so easy to install and use, and can be pulled out into concrete/ delicate areas without concern. Cheap and easy. 3/4" fit spliced eyes. Can be used for climbing and rigging with minimal/ no strength reduction.

    Sycamore and Elm climbing.

    I find difficulty breathing now and into the future to be a reasonable reason to protect oneself, at least in the dustier conditions. I find a respirator to be something I adjust to pretty easily. London planetree's leaf tricomes are we worth not breathing.

    Suspension treehouse

    Consider a failure of a soft component if there was to be rodent/ animal damage. Idk of anecdotes of Cobra damage or failures, myself.

    Favourite SRS rope?

    I use HTP with a HH and HH2 fir years. It doesn't knot well but it will take a knot adequately, especially with the little knotting deeded for SRT. A slice is nice, but not necessary. Never needed to retire any to rigging use. I have a 250' and whatever lengths the knicked hank was cut unto...

    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    If you're 5' tall, you might go for jump shots instead of slam dunks. You can shoot a line launcher as well as anyone else... maybe don't fight the tide on hand throwing the high shots.

    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    I wouldn't stand on a bucket. A customer forever wrecked her back by falling off a bucket instead of getting a ladder from 20' away.

    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    Idk the name of the technique where you don't keep the weight in an arc, rather use a hybrid of the arc with the addition of a horizontal component. Stand on a stump to throw to see if a longer pendulum length helps... probably so. Granny it. Use the Granny 'doubled-through' the ring...

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    I don't want anyone who isn't worth $25/ hour to start...avoiding 0-experience candidates. That said, I had a really good 19 y.o. college freshman/ sophmore guy come in with very little work experience, however, very healthy, safe and with solid character and work ethic, lots of solid athletic...
