    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    way to hit the nail on the head. I did get a lot of info , and some great ideas ,and I am pretty sure that the awnser is that Getting a fast anchor into a large 2/3rd gen is unlikely if it hasn’t been maintained. I think that I’ve come to see that “ethically “ is relevant to situations, tree...

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    I would say that with enough time to set up and the right gear I’m sure 90% of the reds could be climbed spikeless but 1 hour in any of the situations I have seen would be nigh impossible and probably lucky to do it in 2. That labyrinth of dead wood and that throw line will cause serious issues...

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    No over again around the other side so that the line would go completely around the actual tree

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    Thank u and I appreciate it . I was in the field today going over the dynamics with a coworker and we def came to the same conclusion, not all of these trees can be climbed SRS ( or at least not in a timely fashion) and base it on a judgment call of specific trees that a line can be placed...

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    No this is the owner of the company. My line had 3 nicks in it and was cut into 3 ropes upon inspection yesterday morning , no climbing fo me. Ok I will def get a longer stick then, and either get a trigger or mod one like you suggest. But my biggest unknown is navigation of 60-80ft of shades...

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    The only real option I see that could possibly get me up could be the APTA shoot it up as high as possible over dead wood, go around tree to where ball lands , shoot it again so it lands where I initially started and then possibly work the line against the trunk or as close as possible and with...

    How do we find people near us who splice rope?

    North Carolina.? I would like to get everyone who can splice onto a forum and network around for people who can’t splice you know. Either as a way to get custom splices from arborists who are semi local, or a way to connect people for education in splicing.

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    Ya we do it , I just wish One of these nerdy tree guys would hand me a book with the answers to life in it. I want to climb it without spikes I just don’t see how , even with all of the great stuff these guys had to say (that would work in dif situations) I just can’t grasp it. I will be a...

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    I’m climbing in the North Bay Area, we do mostly work in the highly populated, thick forested areas like guernville and camp meeker. Like I said earlier very large , younger trees , mostly 2nd/3rd gen . Usually 2.5-5 ft across at the base. Usually stripped sky high for views (long befor I...

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    Cowboy stuff mostly , either self taught srt , or more likely the guys in my area doin big trees are not many. And to my knowledge most of not all climb/remove using only spurs flips and MRS . I work in a mostly removal specialty , and so I am learning all of the SRS on my own because it kinda...

    vermeer vs brush bandit

    If I’m buying a used large chipper like a BB250xp or Vermeer 1200xl what are the hours a machine like this will typically get? I am buying my first chipper and I know I need something with a winch that can chip bigger wood( because I specialize in large removals) but not too costly or with...

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    Agreed it’s seems a fairly common consensus that the Doug furs and redwoods have the bark to handle it, I also frown at using the spurs as well, hence the question , I see that there is other options then what I’ve been doin and can’t wait to try them , my fear is that there will still be a lot...

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    Thank u , it seems a lot of the time, that’s the only option is spikes , and I know that with dif companies, they all have dif techniques. But with a community of tree guys I’d get an answer. The redwood limbs are usually untrustworthy and when I get up in them and press on branches they pop...
