    Removing trees that others were hurt in

    I've never had this experience with a tree, but I have had something that is along these lines. My best friend was killed on his motorcycle late one night riding around too fast on surface roads. 1000cc sportbike, no perception of danger, total thrill-seeker personality. He was a larger than...

    Hitch Runner? What is this sorcery??

    I think another option is a dog bone that comes in 2 pieces and screws together like a sex bolt, and to mitigate the weak point of connection it could slip inside a tight bushing that sits between the two cheek plates of the runner.

    Hitch Runner? What is this sorcery??

    A dog bone variation that fits in place of the slic pin?

    Hitch Runner? What is this sorcery??

    I may try it. Looks like a Singing Tree iteration of the hitch hiker, with the friction below the hitch instead of above, and with good tending given the pulley.

    Burning out

    Don't forget that a lot of the work we do for people is discretionary, meaning they are choosing to have it done and don't NEED to have it done. I keep this in mind when someone is trying to get us to lower the price on a job that is dangerous and therefore priced accordingly. Need and want...

    Burning out

    You have to decide when meeting other's expectations is less important than having a life you enjoy. The only one who can give you a break is you. 90 hours a week??? Eff that noise. Say no to work that you don't want, is less profitable or is excessively hard on people or equipment. Never...

    What to do with the retrieval line?

    6mm is fine, just try and get it out of the way. Loop it around a fence post or rock or branch or whatever to keep it tangle free, or tie a throw ball on the end so it doesn't move around.

    RC Grapple

    I've used it probably 10 times since buying it and find it superior to the Captain in every way. Easier to hook, unhook and throw.

    Lakeside Work

    Some juices aren't worth the squeeze. We have a rich neighborhood right next to Detroit and some of the homeowners have an idea in their head that they get quoted unfairly high prices for tree work because "people think we have lots of money". Well they do, most are extremely well off. The...

    Root systems and foundations...discuss!

    This is a frequently cited reason we're given by clients who want to remove giant healthy perfect trees. We usually just say no or tell them they can repair a good amount of damage to a foundation for the same price or less than a huge removal, plus it doesn't damage the ecosystem. They...

    SRS and MRS length

    I also love the very clearly visible tails, which come out of the knot perpendicular to the rest of the line so you can see if anything is changing with the knot from a good distance away.

    SRS and MRS length

    I use a Zeppelin bend on the retrieval side of a base tie when more length is needed. Easy to tie, easy to untie(even after loading heavily), easy to dress, set and verify. Also use it on rigging lines when pulling something.

    Syrup from the Twin Cities

    Isn't it generally a 50:1 ratio? 5 gallons would be about 12 ounces.
