    If you have a skid I want your opinion

    Thanks. I should also mention that I will not buy new. I would rather buy used, even well used and if it needs a little TLC I can do that. The last thing I bought new was a pair of blue jeans in 2011.

    If you have a skid I want your opinion

    My business scored a line of credit and I feel like a 5yr old in a toy store. Looking for some hydraulics to purchase to save on my back. I think I've settled on either a Bobcat MX85 or a Cat 247/257. To those of you with a mini: how many times have you needed the mini where a full size track...

    Check out this new Saw Lanyard I just got.

    I would be worried about plastic turning fragile after 1-2 months, especially in the winter.

    Check out this new Saw Lanyard I just got.

    I'm also in the breakaway camp now. I'm not using this lanyard, and I won't post which one I am using because this post is promoting a certain product. But let me just say: if you're still using a cheap lanyard, upgrade it. your pelvis and ribs won't be able to handle pushing a big top over when...

    Bald face hornet, eat your heart out!

    I like the skeet option! I probably have some old #9 shot that's been useless until now.

    Bald face hornet, eat your heart out!

    Keep them bastards out of MN! But when they do show up, I'm going to unleash my local little league team with hands full of Louisville sluggers. They're probably big enough to use as batting practice?

    Attn Treetech

    back in March/April/May 2019 I was trying to buy some rigging gear and helmet from him I was ready to send him the $$ after we agreed on price, but then he sent an odd message about being unable to ship it until payday or some excuse. I just assumed he found another buyer. he stopped responding...

    Climbing with a pole saw

    Thanks for the responses buzzers. Too bad, I was hoping to find a magical piece of equipment to solve all my problems. Instead, as per usual, the answer is to adjust the way we work :) Some real situations where an angled head would make sense: Pruning a large sprawling cottonwood when the...

    Climbing with a pole saw

    I've climbed with my Jameson+Silky handsaw trying to prune some upper branches, and let me tell you it's a PITA. I'm looking to upgrade - I like the Stihl HT131 (I'm a Stihl guy), but I also like the idea of a lightweight battery powered one. I'm trying to decide if the Milwaukee M18 Quik-Lok...

    Rechargable Headlamps?

    +1 for the Actik core, with rechargeable battery. The battery life is surprising, to me. I spent a couple dark fall evenings working on framing my garden shed (2x 4hrs) and it still had charge.

    Camp Tree Access Evo Climbing Harness?

    Does anyone have experience with this gear? Seems like a cool innovation - I like the little red loops on the side of the bridge, are they designed to support weight/second TIP? Plenty of 'biner loops, but one thing I don't notice: a solid ring or two to hang a chainsaw lanyard. treestuff.com -...

    OK. You're thinking aluminum DMM geckos, right? what pads?

    Edelrid Talon climbing gaff

    What's the status of Edelrid spikes since the recall? Are they more durable now? I'm not sold on the Edelrids just yet, but their offset shank design (not bump around ankle, but offset from arch to over the heel to align with leg bone better) seems logical. Any other spikes offer that feature?

    Want to buy: ART Snake anchor

    Besides the certified rating, none I suppose.

    Want to buy: ART Snake anchor

    GAP arb supplies should have them in stock, they just sent me one a couple three weeks ago.

    How Small a Diameter is Safe to Climb High (Conifier)

    Don't make it like they used to, that's probably for sure. I think the perception of new gear being unsafe-ish is due to the stories we hear about that gear failing. Look at it this way, 35 yrs ago, you wouldn't be drinking your morning coffee in the PNW and read in your local paper about a tree...
