    Samson 11.8 rope

    Voyager seems like a fine climbing line so far. A good all around sized line imo.

    Rope for hitch hiker

    Voyager works flawlessly in the Hitch Hiker and I think it's an all around great sized climbing line.

    Trees over power lines!

    Looking at the insulators, your primary is probably 7.2 kV (7200v). If they won't trim that side of the tree they will probably cover the primary for you.

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    The founders of this nation were absolutely brilliant men who understood that a democracy never works in the long term and warned against the dangers thereof. Today, most Americans have no understanding of history, government and the way our republic was designed or our Constitution. I find it...

    Just for the record, you are twisting. America is not a "democracy".

    Leftists also tend to twist what others say to meet their own agenda:D

    Just a small side note; if leftists had their way, you would have no bullets. If you are a leftist, you would destroy them and your firearms, in a peaceful and environmentally friendly way of course.

    Essential gear for the beginner?

    Dizzying indeed. It all depends on what you'll be doing. Besides items already mentioned you'll most likely also need a rope ascent system like the HAAS for trees you're not going to remove, along with a progress capture and descent device like the Hitch Hiker, Akimbo......... A device to get...

    Zipline forces

    When zipping anything sketchy we always try to install a guy line. Sometimes we'll install a block in the tree to be removed, run the zipline through it and down to an anchor as close to 180 of our LZ as possible.

    Poison ivy - making the tree safe for my daughter

    You must be one of those lucky souls that are immune to it. The rest of us humans only need the brush of a leaf to create a blistered-up itchithon that lasts for weeks and covers a large percentage of our mortal bodies.

    New tree walker system

    I use a Summit climbing tree stand for trimming cabbage (sable) palms here. Quick and easy climbing, stable work platform and no damage to the tree.

    Poison ivy - making the tree safe for my daughter

    Nasty stuff if you're allergic to it and as already stated, the oil can last a while after the vine is removed. Water and Dawn dish soap will remove the majority of it off most surfaces. I've tried almost every remedy known to man both before and after contact with very little effect. I usually...

    Rigging Rope

    One advantage is being able to attach the porty to an adjacent tree, which can be a big plus for your groundie in certain circumstances. It's also normally lighter and much easier for one person to install.

    Rigging Rope

    I'm curious why you'd pick a fixed bollard over a port-a-wrap for light to medium rigging. The Porty is considerably more versatile in my limited experience.

    Finishing a back cut with a hand saw?

    I understand the bottom line and I know that common sense and skill level are a couple of things that the "big players" don't have complete control over. That's not to say that some great, talented smart guys don't work for them, because I've seen some in action. However, to say that every back...

    Stihl 201T or Husqvarna T540 ????

    My experience too Z. Those guys blowing all those saws may want to add a little oil to their gas, I've found it makes them last a little longer;)

    Finishing a back cut with a hand saw?

    It's all hard on the shoulders but using the handsaw a lot really hammers mine. Let machines work for you every chance you get, your body will thank you.

    Some work shananagans.

    I have enough trouble taking care of my business, don't have time to worry about everyone else's and forgive me but I'm really not that concerned what Jack Black had for a midnight snack. My wife made a page for my tree business on Facebook and I'm sure there are some good things there but I...

    Finishing a back cut with a hand saw?

    I do it if I foresee the necessity to move quickly as the piece hinges and breaks. It's a lot easier to to scoot with your chainsaw stowed. Also as Nish said, if it's tight and there's a chance to cut a rope. Mine rarely gets used it on bigger stuff.
