    I hate bucket trucks.

    I don't trust buckets. Shifty bastards. Have you ever noticed they refuse to look you in the eyes?

    StihlMadd, I'm jealous. We get such shit options for 4x4's in the states.

    30 plus years one handing a saw !

    I'm glad that you two (the admins) allowed us to handle what turned out to be a misunderstanding. All of us have the capacity to be petty. It would have done no good to shut the thread down. Instead, we dealt with our differences and we can now move on.

    30 plus years one handing a saw !

    And this is the mindful cutting I was talking about. When we present the 1 handed vs. 2 handed argument in this fashion, we can actually teach new guys the proper way to cut and when 1 handing will end up being appropriate. I don't like the simplified, I 1 hand for production because it doesn't...

    30 plus years one handing a saw !

    Trust me TV, if it had been directed at someone on here, I would not have made any sort of apology. I don't make judgements on the quality of someone's work without personal experience with it. It didn't even occur to me that anyone would think I directed that comment at them specifically, which...

    30 plus years one handing a saw !

    So I wrote a carefully worded and I felt, sufficiently insulting reply to TreeVet. As I was writing, the thread progressed and TV's reason for anger came out. So rather than continue to blow this thread up, I deleted my reply and I'll answer TV directly. TV, I'm sorry that you think my comment...

    30 plus years one handing a saw !

    Yeah, I know a guy who received 36 stitches on his forearm doing exactly what you described. He miscalculated the swing of the limb and it brought his forearm into contact with the saw, which wasn't spooled down all the way because with only one hand holding the saw, he couldn't remove his...

    30 plus years one handing a saw !

    My biggest issue with 1 handing is that in my personal experience, it's usually the result of laziness or poor planning. There are scenario's where I think 1 handing is appropriate but most of the time a quick change of position or lanyard makes 2 hands just as simple. Occasionally I find myself...

    I think X has mellowed considerably. Haven't actually seen him be a dick in a few years.

    X-rigging rings

    I finally found the micro edges thing RescueMan was talking about. As seems to be standard, he's off base, or at least his explanation is shit. What can happen is that once the hard coat anodization is worn away, the aluminum underneath, being much softer wears very quickly. The cutaway edges of...

    X-rigging rings

    And the reason the "wagons were circled" is simply this. You're a dick. I don't always agree with X. I don't get why he calls himself X-Man, I think he can be a dick sometimes and he's far from the most eloquent person I know. But I can recognize that he's a damn good Arborist and a damn good...

    X-rigging rings

    Ahh, misrepresentation. If anybody else on here thinks that I was laughing at the death of a fellow climber they sure didn't speak up. But you find it necessary to take offense at absolutely everything, so obviously I found a fellow climber dying "funny". All I have to say is this. Fuck you. You...

    If we just tell you guys that your dicks are bigger can we let the one handed thing drop?

    I still think bringing up the Gri Gri was just funny. It's saved far more lives than its taken, including my own.

    Speedline Anchor

    I've done it for fairly small branches. Those t-stakes work quite well. Just play with the angle you drive them as it depends on your soil composition.

    What is the benefit or reason of a static rope for srt?

    I built my own Portaledge once. Are you talking about stitching the webbing the ledge is suspended from or the fabric you'll be sleeping on? If you mean the fabric, it doesn't matter a ton, your fabric will likely fail before the stitching. The webbing you are suspended from is a different...
