    Today....

    I worked with a crew just for the 2nd time, and was talking to myself as usual "gonna go there.. cut there... catch an throw the piece there..." and they kept asking me "What?" until they realized it's all in my head. I hollered "yall are lucky I am not on that Sena or you'd be hearing me all...

    Lil Rhody Winter Rec Climb

    thanks for the buzz @moss . We can do another in the spring, but I figured, why not now too? I recently got the captain hook so probably go up into the forest cluster and practice that. There is a crazy hung up cherry I need to deal with some day. Maybe we can set some placeholders for when...

    [Climbers] Any reasons to hold-off (or reconsider) buying an Echo 2511T?

    Yes, they had gotten cold over night in the rig. I have been always keeping them inside since then.

    Redundant Bridge vs. Second Bridge

    I used the BWR after reading what folks on here said about best rope qualities for bridge, and it's chosen for the monkey beaver. I follow the same reasoning here; it's the seconary, nary or rarely the primary.

    [Climbers] Any reasons to hold-off (or reconsider) buying an Echo 2511T?

    I had a moment of pause, as I went outside to limb some stuff at home, and the battery saw (Makita 36v) wouldn't cut in the cold!! I couldn't have that happen on a job.. A friends Dad gave me an echo 330t, usually it's the ground saw, but I tuned it up a little bit and used it on a removal the...

    Redundant Bridge vs. Second Bridge

    I added a second bridge to Treemotion, the same way @Friedrich described but with 16 strand BWR rope. I am using a big swivel from the marine consignment. It's tied a bit long so I can clip it to my left when unused. Yesterday showed me a mid-size (50 ft tall) Oak, with many good tie in...

    Dawn Redwood Cone Production ?

    Thanks, I wondered that! Beyond that though, I think it has been struggling a bit. As I remember seeing it looking really bare in warm weather days, maybe it was May or so. Last year it made a better showing. Knowing it truly is deciduous makes more sense now. I heard Tamarack was the...

    Dawn Redwood Cone Production ?

    I will ask my neighbor when I see him. He planted one, I believe it's about 25 years old and ~45 feet tall. It dropped nearly all its needles a couple years ago but looks to be strengthening again. Amazing tree.

    large split in Maple, is it appropriate for support?

    indeed, the tree is GONE. I was busy for half a week, but another crew was able to do it next day so she made the call. It was a good job for a bucket truck anyway. I am glad to get this much info about cabling and support up here. I learned a bunch. I also learned to trust my instinct and...

    Difficulty splicing Sterling Atlas 1/2 inch

    That's a good reminder. I do this now as standard practice but picked it up after that failed splice in question. May have been the one that scared me into shape, hah.

    Difficulty splicing Sterling Atlas 1/2 inch

    I abandoned that rope for splicing. Catalog lists it as Not Spliceable. I discovered that after the fact. Probably stopped at the same step you did.

    Today....

    Working in a Cemetery today. this tree (Red Oak I believe) was full of sprouts and dead, breaks. We were told to punch some big holes in here. In the lil Hurrican Henri in August, half a Linden came down (50 ft section), a few pines and maple totally down, sounds like a lot of damage there...

    Lil Rhody Winter Rec Climb

    I know the Buzz loves photos, so here's some. I haven't yet been into one of these tall Oak clusters.. I have worn throwline grooves in my finger trying to toss up there.. who's got a bigshot... I was wondering if I am exaggerating calling these 60-100 ft, I know I tied into one oak...

    large split in Maple, is it appropriate for support?

    Yes, I did. Thanks for that suggestion. When they saw the crack expanding she just got right on it!! (don't know if she tried he utility) She appreciated all the help, offered and sent a little dough for the input. I was thinking, it's so often I roll up to a tree someone wants taken down...

    Hey folks, We have a marvelous grove of trees here in Southern New England, there are 14 Oaks 60-100 feet, four of them in a nice cluster. There is a low broad maple for young ones or new climbers with a lot of fun swinging chances. Down the hill it leads toward a tide marsh forest with a...
