    chipper dust

    I also have worried about this topic for years and agree with Tom that it is the the gorilla in the room. Unfortunately, when it is realized what a problem it is, OSHA will mandate a solution, and probably not to our liking. But I think it is a problem. Sycamore is a notorious one - not just...

    Arbor Wear

    I really resisted AW Tech pants for years due to the $$$. Was finally given a pair by a generous fellow and really fell in love with them. Utterly superior to jeans. Less water retention, less stink retention, everything everyone else has said... BUT: When I tried to buy another pair the...

    What happend to the DB prussic splices?

    [ QUOTE ] Yale Cordage no longer recommends splicing the 10mm Beeline. It has a problem with core-herniation. [/ QUOTE ] I have had two different pieces of the 10mm herniate. Both had the red threads which were supposed to solve that problem (or at least differentiate it from the original...

    Fertilizing time frame

    It depends on where you are geographically, what species you're targeting, and what you're fertilizing with. Here in central Texas, we have super high P and K levels, and low N levels. I use a mostly water insoluble N that has a super low salt index and stays in the soil a long time. This...

    Check this out!!!

    Check this out REVISITED Hi Guys. I'm fairly new to TB, but definitely not to climbing. While surfing this site, I came across this thread and pictures from last fall, and as one poster said, it makes you want to throw up a little. I am surprised that the thread just sort of died, as there...

    Acupuncture

    Well said, Sean. And it makes so much more sense to try the least potentially harmful treatment first. I don't give a flying f how many scientifically correct double blind triple blind studies you've done. Many drugs that have been through this supposedly scientific process were later were...

    Acupuncture

    Those who call acupuncture "quackery" obviously put so much faith in western medicine that they are afraid to think outside the box. Pure and simple. Acupuncture absolutely can and does work. Always? No. Does western medicine - synthetic pharmas, surgery, etc always work? Acupuncture has...

    Sept. Kauai Vacation. Any Climbers there?

    [ QUOTE ] making a trip to Kauai in mid Sept. and wanted to know if there is anyone on the island that would like to show me a nice tree to climb! Ryan Lee C.T.S.P. [/ QUOTE ] Ryan: I worked in Kauai a few times at what was once a botanical garden near Poipu. You may have luck if you make...

    Texas

    [ QUOTE ] The tree was a old 100 foot pecan with a beatiful wide spread. Apart from the wind blowing me around, it was a terrific experience to see all the climbs up close. Great too to work with Rich Hattier who was the tech on the ground. [/ QUOTE ] Dorian, Dorian, Dorian. This is like...

    F8 revolver set up

    The ring is a steel ring rated for life support. It's too skinny for a friction saver ring, though. I got it from another arborist who can get me the manufacturer name and stats, which I have forgotten. The interior diam is the same as that of my F8, which I have tried with the same results...

    F8 revolver set up

    Am I missing something with the F8 set up. I have tried this on Tachyon with 10mm Bee Line (with the red thread) in a VT hitch and found it to be not as smooth as so many of you seem to say for walking OUT on limbs (hitch was binding up too much). I used a revolver and a large rigging ring...

    lesson learned at who's expense?

    Re: lesson learned at who\'s expense? Hello all... I am a former AR head judge at ITCC. The rules may have changed, but for pole station, calling all clear is not in the rule book or score sheet (2008). For limb toss, I agree with Babberney - although the event description and score sheet...
