    Choosing a Harness

    Crazy to buy a any harness unless you can actually try it out. The store I buy from, American Arborist in West Chester, PA has like a 7' welded "rig" with a doubled-rope loop, rope snap and friction hitch ready to go. They let you clip-in, hoist up and "hang out". Don't waste your money on...

    Personal setup for recreational / work climbing

    Well you know how it is, you look in the equipment stores, catalogues and websites, see all this new and interesting gear... then you see the prices. And so I start to thinking Hmmmmm, I wonder if I can make some of this from the crazy amount of gear OVERBUYING I have done. The easiest to make...

    Tree Work: America's Deadliest Job

    I'm surprised that post didn't get A_Titans banned. Sheesh I got banned for life from the Win 7 Sevenforums for posting health and lifestyle stuff that I use, believe in, and sell, in the "off topics section". Those guys really suck. I'm glad Treebuzz is a bit more forgiving. As for the ad...

    One way to set a metal carabiner trap

    These steel wire 'biner traps are great, especially if you use a 'biner for your keys. Traps keep whatever is attached where you want, not sliding all around the back, loading the wrong axis, or slipping off entirely when I hook the carabiner to my belt. But the same thing I like about these...

    TreeStuff and SherrillTree Join Forces

    I have never heard of Treestuff. There's far too many posts here to read, but I read some and it's obvious Treestuff.com is a well loved company. But I have been doing business with Sherrill for over ten years. Their catalogs alone provide an ongoing education, from everything to the latest...

    Poison ivy - making the tree safe for my daughter

    This is smart input, thx to all. I have TecNu, which I use to wash the stuff off my hands. I looked up Zanfel, which sounds like it would do the trick, but I love the idea of wrapping the trunk. Click - clunk - done. I just moved in last Sept, not sure what the tree is. Last summer I could...

    Poison ivy - making the tree safe for my daughter

    ‎Our new yard has its fair share of the nasty plant, and the tree I'm describing here was one of the worst. I sawed the 4" diameter vine off the tree up to maybe 25, with first a pole saw and later climbing and using my old ARS handsaw. (Of course, wearing an N95 dust mask the whole time.) I'm...
