    acephate as a bark spray: Who has applied this way, with what product?

    I just can't justify injuring trees for a few weeks of protection, especially the 1/2" holes. I'd rather do a trunk spray or soil injection with a different chemical like dinotefuran. Or canopy spray with something mellow for some knock down. I generally only trunk inject emamectin benzoate for...

    Haven't used or purchased any in a while because of that lol.

    Wish it wasn't so smelly, usually mix a deodorizer if I use it.

    Quickie killer?

    Lol, yeah I never used them for tree work but I have a few for slackline rigging. Not quite as redundant but they're sweet. I guess technically it's double action since you have to push the button followed by pulling the pin right? But still, those balls would surely let the pin slide out if it...

    Your life in trees

    Haha thanks man. Yeah I get nostalgic about not being up in trees everyday. It's nice having energy after work though, i really feel like I need it when coming home to two toddlers lol. Do it as long as you love it while keeping an open mind.

    Your life in trees

    My parents like to joke that I wouldn't be an arborist if it wasn't for religion I went to Catholic school and had to go to church like 3 times a week. I found out I could climb the big elm out front and my parents couldn't get me in the car. This reinforced my behavior lol. Later in life I...

    That's rough, bad ass work though here in Cali trees can shade solar pretty much all they want as long as they were there first. Don't even get me started on road/hard scape deflections lol, I was working on selective root pruning for a repaving project today. I like to include appraisals in...

    Looks like a nice tree, why was it removed, dead?

    To each their own right? It's a 12 foot lanyard so stretch isn't a big factor. Just a pice of rope I had around and figured I'd get some use out of it, an eye would be preferable though.. I enjoy moving and stationary systems, they both have their place and I like to go back and forth. Mostly...

    That is an option in that example but it would increase the likelihood of hitch getting bumped and isn't as clean imo. DMM and others have basically said it's fine as long as the angle isn't so tight that it's bumping into the swivel causing some side loading. Either way probably best not to...

    It's a piece of tape to keep the termination tail out of the way. Yes I have a fair bit of gear that is newer in this pic. I've been an Arborist for over a decade but transitioned to consulting and treatments after a few years of climbing. I've been having fun rec climbing lately, venturing away...

    I ended up switching to a camp gyro 3. Three climbs in I'm absolutely loving it. Almost like having a second bridge.

    Ring on bridge?

    Hah! I seriously entertained something like that, it's really not that bad but cool to have a more compact solution with swivels on your other anchor points too though.
