    Sooooo, a crane? My imagination isn't giving it to me here.

    Tree man.

    I have done some sketchy things that I have lived to regret, but you'll never catch me not wearing a harness/lanyard operating any kind of lift, much less rigging off of the bucket; I don't care what it's rated for. When I have used lifts rated for two people, I would accumulate pieces in the...

    Tree man.

    I am guilty of standing on the rim a time or two as well, but I thought I would have been caught by my lanyard if I fell. Your friend wouldn't have unclipped himself to pull such a foolish maneuver, right? For the record, I had to stop working for the guy that kept expecting me to do stuff like...

    Tree man.

    It was at least as good of an idea as hoisting a lawnmower with a crane to trim some hedges. I am curious what your expectations of us were? We have offered our genuine condolences and words of comfort, and anyone who said as much was 100% sincere, but this is a forum for discussion. I can see...

    Someone please design an industrial level version of the fiskar telescoping pole pruner

    Felco products a definitely a touch more premium than Castellari, but it's not a giant leap like the difference between Felco and Fiskars

    Tree man.

    I am always curious how a guy fell out of a bucket. More than one thing had to go wrong, and if someone had additional details that might serve as a warning/reminder to the community... Well that person might be saving someone elses life by sharing that kind of story...

    Someone please design an industrial level version of the fiskar telescoping pole pruner

    No you're right it's different. They are both Tucano, but Ryan has the Tucano X. That is a totally different design for sure. Mine is a detachable head that goes on the same pole as my polesaw head. Looking at the details for his unit, I really want one. I have definitely been satisfied with...

    Someone please design an industrial level version of the fiskar telescoping pole pruner

    I feel like Ryan is being a bit conservative with his size estimate. I have that same pruner, though I went for the 20' poles, since they are infinitely adjustable. I would say that I can consistently get good cuts made close to an inch diameter, though harder woods can take a bit of effort at...

    Well that's not very cash money of you.

    Lots of good points there, and you've exposed a blind spot for me because I have been lucky enough to have never of anyone been peed on, but the mere possibility is worth charging for. I have also been well enough prepared to have never been scratched, though I will ackowledge that a certain...

    Treatment for board/ lag bolt compressed trees from a treehouse swing.

    I can't conceptualize a method for decompressing something like that, but I would love to know what to tell people as well. That was a lot more attached there than I thought. That explains the size of the flat spot below the obvious board 'hole'

    I totally agree, but I really do it for the cats, not the people. I only go that low when the cats been up there for long enough that they might die relatively soon, and I always add travel expenses if they aren't in my town, which is almost always. I also make no guarantees as to how the cat...

    I love cat rescues. If I have nothing pressing going on, I go out right away and do them for relatively cheap, but if I am busy, I do a sliding scale based on how long the cat has been in the tree. If it's the first day, I charge $500, second day $300, and if the cat is on it's third day and...

    I just read a comment that really paints the picture well: "The people requiring a seperate half-time show are the same people that required seperate drinking fountains."

    Energy absorber for rock climbing.

    Y'know, for SRT climbing in straight conifers, it's not that bad. I actually learned how to climb in a fall arrest harness, and while awkward and uncomfortable, is definitely doable.

    Point taken. Just wear it under the work positioning harness?

    I love climbing side by side in adjacent stems like that!
