    THE TREE HOUSE

    I wonder where on 101? down by French's camp or closer to confusion hill? There is a codominant coast redwood near weott on the avenue with a burnt out hollow center that must be almost 15 or more feet across in at least one section, I don't know how far up the cavity goes, but it is pretty...

    manhauler's loop...anybody heard of it?

    Re: manhauler\'s loop...anybody heard of it? oh..the manhauler's loop, that IS a good knot, too bad you can't find a link to show how to tie the thing, for it IS very easy to tie and untie. I get very frustrated when production is slowed because other crewmembers, even myself tie the wrong knot...

There are a couple of nice oak trees (not exactly sure which species) from which a treemendous view of the Wind GAp of the Appalachian Trail are...

    zepplin bend for footlock prussik

    does anybody use anything besides the double fisherman's bend for securing the ends of their prussik loop? I have been using an unsecured zepplin bend for about five months now, and haven't noticed any slippage. I am sure it is a secure knot, with a better bend ratio than the double fisherman's...

    here it is, springtime. The buds are breaking, the weather is nice, why are all of the new posts about hockey and dead people? Isn't anybody getting excited about trees? I know I am. This is the time to be promoting cambium savers and talking about recreational climbing. you know, all of those...

    one handed chain saw

    I think raking debris is really causing a decline in my ability to do my job properly. It seems the muscles and tendons in my arms ache any time I even think about picking up a rake. I think it is truly a hazard and homeowners should be made to rake their own yards so we treemen can be treemen...

    manhauler's loop...anybody heard of it?

    manhauler\'s loop...anybody heard of it? I recently discovered this knot in one of my books. It is a midline loop that comes undone remarkably easily and is easier to tie/untie than the bowline on a bight. I used to use the butterfly, or alpine butterfly, but found that when put under a good...

    strange? maggots in dead apples

    hey-was fruit pruning today and came across this dead rotten apple that got trapped in a crotch of the tree. when I flicked it with my handsaw, it crumbled and in what was left of the apple in the crotch were these "maggots" about a half inch long. some were smaller. I come from Northern...

    Climbing up to a cable

    I always am weary of tying in above any cable system. Is this unwarranted? It seems to me that any weight tied above such a high unnaturally formed fulcrum that has been drilled through and has been susceptable to decay might be pretty dangerous. Maybe I'm just paranoid?
