    I'm not the pne ypu need to convince, but when do you think we'll actually reach the tipping point where most people will actually get out and actually do something meaningful.

    Chipper drum failure

    I've never welded anything, so I was withholding comment, but I was shocked that anyone would bet their business on a rebuilding a drum. I can't imagine these things are cheap, but with the speed of that rotating mass, and the vibration and shocks that the metal is exposed to on a regular and...

    Whatever gets it done! I prefer to keep my overhead low and do it like you, at least for now.

    that's wild! I had never even considered what my reading rate is, but those numbers all sound amazing to me.

    45° limbs

    Thanks Andrew! That means a lot to me, coming from you. I was a lurker here for almost three years before I made an account, and I always valued your words and your style.

    There was a guy on here that I remember liked it quite a bit. I think it was @Shadowscape, but his account has been inactive for at least a year.

    45° limbs

    I don't think giving the client a choice means that you are a wishy-washy hack either. You can take a stand AND offer a choice. I say, "I don't usually climb non-removals with spikes, but since this tree has already been so mistreated, and all we are talking about here is continuing with that...

    One Leg Squat

    I'm glad that your son stayed outta trouble, but his friends likely succumbed to user error. People who are drawn to the activity tend to do too much too soon, and don't put enough effort into proper nutrition and recovery, and even stress management. Slow steady progress, and proper self care...

    45° limbs

    It can be described, and choices offered quite succinctly. Before I knew barely anything about trees, I still knew that openings in their "skin", like with any living thing, were a vector for fungal and bacterial pathogens. I have worked with many clients that appreciate the knowledge I am able...

    I have no idea what it would be like for me personally, but it seems like they have improved the average quality of life for their people quite a bit in the last 80 years. I don't approve of authoritarian dictatorships, and don't approve of various other strategies they have utilized, and I...

    45° limbs

    I have been critisized while "tying in to everything" but when I have taken the time, like in these kinds of trees we are discussing, it always made the work muuuuch easier, even if the job took a bit longer than was hoped for.

    One Leg Squat

    Mine is at my belly button, so they're just going in through there. Not laparoscopic, but still only requiring a small incision, which is the main benefit of laparoscopy. I am no stranger to fucked up old injuries. I always assumed all my back pain was from when I was crunched up in a rollover...

    One Leg Squat

    I recently started getting strong enough to do ass to grass pistol squats. They are hard as fuck, and I can only a couple per side for now, but as soon as I get this hernia patched up, I will be back on the hard training. I don't see them as a prerequisite for tree climbers, but I find that the...

    Today....

    Today I passed my CA exam! I was a little worried when I looked up and had 141 minutes left on the clock, but they give you your results instantly, and I was satisfied with my 93% overall. They emailed me my credentials in like an hour too, which was unexpected. TRAQ next!
