    Best chainsaw pants for longevity

    The Clogger Tree Crew pants are heavy and hot but they have been durable for me. I don't like to climb in them but for ground stuff they're great. Not that pricey either.

    anyone successfully start a business with no equipment or land?

    Find something that sets you apart from other existing tree services, like small to medium-sized removals in tight spots that require climbing. That is a great niche' for the city proper. If you're just trying to do the same thing everyone else is in a place like Boston, you're swimming...

    Wood pellet cat litter

    I use this stuff. It's made from corn cobs mixed with some pine, smells great, clumps well, etc. Much prefer it to clay. For being made of an inexpensive, sustainable base it is not cheap but lasts for a good while.

    Electric saws with cold bar oil in winter

    Been using canola in a ported 362 with a 28" bar for a while now with zero issues. I have learned though that letting the oil tank run dry can cause build-up on thw bar really quickly with any size saw. I refill every gas refill.

    I think when used in the right context MRS is great. I use it as part of many climbs on a weekly basis.

    Electric saws with cold bar oil in winter

    I worked in a big Sugar Maple today in high wind, probably below 20F with the wind chill and the Canola flowed just fine for me. Haven't had an issue with it yet in Winter.

    The joke I got fired over

    I like it because it both comments on the fact that not everyone gets it while also being an example of dark humor itself. I would have laughed if you said that one to me but I was a nurse for 7 years so it comes with the territory.

    New Ascender from Reg Coates

    @DSMc I didn't think of twisting it prior to tying the hitch. That sounds fiddly to me with such thin cord but if you've done it with good results I'll give it a try. I did try twisting the eyes a half turn after tying the hitch but it wasn't exactly right and the Knut was just the path of...

    New Ascender from Reg Coates

    It all depends on the number of wraps you use. I really like the Arbsession hitch but it came out either a touch too short or a touch too long with the finished 6mm hitch cord, depending on the number of wraps I used. The cordage is so thin that it is floppy above the eyes so a little too long...

    New Ascender from Reg Coates

    Yep! Came out a tiny bit long for my hitch of choice so I switched to a Knut and it is perfect.

    I got myself one and am looking forward to using it on a bunch of big Oak prunes over the next few months. Made up this 6mm prusik for my 9mm hook line to use with it.

    Today....

    We have a giant live Ailanthus coming up that's completely covered in English Ivy so any and all wisdom is appreciated. This tree looks to be able to house a whole forest worth of critters in just the Ivy. We're removing the whole thing

    Today....

    Pruning Elms today here in Detroit, including a massive street tree Elm that had huge sections of root flare ground away to replace the sidewalk. So short-sighted it is almost criminal. Here's me getting tipsy on the smaller Elm of the day.

    Heavy leaner needs to come down sideways.

    Not that it matters too much in terms of the plan, but I personally trust Boxelder to hinge better than Norway. It is softer but more flexible.
