    Whatever happened to JeffGu?

    Anyone know? I always found him to be very funny, knowledgeable and generally good-humored. Also a great guy to buy stuff from.

    SRS rope and hitch

    I climb on KMIII more than any other rope and the hitch cords that work for me are 8mm HRC, 9mm RIT and 8mm Beeline. I think with the rope/hitch cord interface, if one is hard and smooth like KMIII, the other has to be softer. There are a lot of hitch cords that are too stiff and smooth to...

    Can trees be too big to cable?

    Consider propping it instead of cabling. Mulberries often grow like smaller Live Oaks and an attractive and well-designed prop can be just the ticket. Think concrete pier foundation and large diameter wood with a thru-bolt for connection. The pier can be small because a little movement is...

    Tick borne illness

    @Treezybreez that sounds like you've had heat stroke and maybe didn't know it. Those are all symptoms, and you will always be more sensitive to heat going forward if that's the case.

    This one was a combination of luck and skill. As we were in this tree removing a few limbs so we could fell it into the street, the owner of a nearby house came out and told us she was on the phone with her sister talking about us removing this street tree. Her sister tells her to let us know...

    Well @levi r since you started the thread and you asked for more info this doesn't qualify as a hijack lol. We started with three guys, and the idea that we wanted to share decision-making equally so we just granted each other equal power. We all had different levels of experience and...

    Then definitely don't use a neck tether. There are plenty of other hazards coming at you doing tree work and to me, this one seems pretty low risk. Also a stiff collar can choke you if you're unconscious.

    I use a neck tether for everything and never have any problems with abrasion, including with the HHXF. Just pick a nice thick soft rope for your tether. Mine looks like this:

    Logos, branding, shirts, etc.

    We're structured as a worker-owned cooperative. It can be a challenging structure for a business if you don't like all the humans you work with but luckily I do. It is also a way to reject many of the negative things about capitalism.

    Logos, branding, shirts, etc.

    We have had a mixed bag of quality with these magnetic signs. One flew off my truck almost a year ago and one hasn't budged. I like the logo, it was designed by a friend/student of mine who is a graphic designer. Traded the design work for pruning a Mulberry and Siberian Elm in his backyard.

    XM

    Give me hand crank windows and a manual transmission all day baby. The power windows take longer because they always want to roll all the way down and that's rarely what I need or want and I spend two minutes trying to feather the damn window button to get it right. While we're at it, throw...
