    Fire Heat and trees

    Thanks to all for the replies! I have been watching the tree and reading what was posted. Found a couple more articles as well! It is blooming out quite a bit more, only 2 larger limbs 2-3” diameter haven’t started to put leaves on, then some small 1” limbs in the top. I plan to watch it for...

    Fire Heat and trees

    I’ve done some searching but can’t find my exact issue. I’m a good production climber with a good understanding of proper pruning and removals. I’m no arborist and do not claim to be. So late last summer, I burnt a big rotten pirate ship swingset at my house. It was wet and rainy so I figured it...

    Rigging cookies for tight spots

    If you don’t have to worry about ground impact, why not a vertical speed line? Keeps it from bouncing when it hits the ground.

    I would probably concur on the ladder vs free climb point.

    So.. Free Climbing?

    I’ve been production climbing for 3 years and I haven’t ever free climbed. Zero interest in it. I also always use 2 tie in points to make a cut. I’m 100% self taught and common sense and a will to live taught me not to free climb. I find it pretty irresponsible for any sort of training or...

    Just bought the akimbo

    Don’t give up too easily on your akimbo. They are temperamental and in my opinion, not as efficient in many ways as the rope runner. I spent a lot of time this summer playing with settings and getting it dialed. I was one of the first to have an RE version and It takes some tinkering to get it right

    New crane slings -- arbsession community project

    https://reonroundsdesigns.com/products/reon-rounds-crane-slings Pricey but the best crane slings I’ve ever used. Half hitch and clip them up. Fast in the air, fast for the ground crew too. The weight of the hook helps toss them through foliage and twigs too. For large stalk wood we use large...

    If you have a skid I want your opinion

    Really you sound like you are sold on a full sized skid, but I’ll add to. In my market, a full size skid steer has little to no place. The yard damage being the largest reason, gates and fences can be worked around. People aren’t excepting of yard damage in my market. Lift capacity, I worked...

    Is "wobbling" a tree down by cutting off short sections at a time a good plan?

    It puts a lot of stress on the your rigging tree. I have done it but only with 10-12” trees, and when my rigging tree is much bigger and stronger tree. Why not set up a rigging point in your bigger tree, climb the tree you’re taking out and rig it out in a few pieces over to your rig tree? When...

    How to dispose of large logs

    The logs that can be used for lumber I sell to sawmills. The crotch wood, junky wood, or wood that was rigged out too short for lumber, I am lucky to have a local sawmill that has a firewood processor. They will take a semi load of firewood and pay you $250. Which is what my semi driver charges...

    Tips for walking back to the cutting point?

    Can’t say enough about pole spurs. I learned to climb on aluminum geckos with tree spurs. Climbed in a set of carbon fiber pole spurs when I forgot my spurs in my backup truck. I ordered my own set of carbon geckos with pole spurs that night.

    Meindl Airstream

    Ebay has a few arborist supply stores in the UK selling and shipping them to the US. $275 US I believe is what I paid. Worked out well for me, took about 4 weeks after order to get them but that is to be expected.

    Tips for walking back to the cutting point?

    Along with what others have said, TIP back in the tree, multiple climbing systems, etc, Hasn’t been mentioned that I have seen, but a super simple thing that helps is after you have your sling attached and are ready, have your crane operator tighten the sling up so the ball isn’t swaying so...

    No longer looking for a Baby Bump for RopeRunner.

    Personally I don’t like the bird flap. I like the beak without it better. I climb bare handed and as others have said, it’s a whole hand device just like the akimbo. I have a gold edition at work, it’s a couple years old from my use. I got it new but it had sat in the shop for a while before I...

    Spiking boots?

    If you’re having to build platforms or things to stand on, you’re wearing the wrong boots. Pfanner zermatts, matterhorns, Sirius Stx, scafel lites, meindhl airstreams, haix protector boots, just to name a few I’ve used or been around people who used. I bought a set of the Pfanner Sirius boots to...
