    So neo-nazi's and asswipes are no long er....

    Abuse of other members is where I draw the line. That's how I've seen it done on other "Rubber Room" type hidden areas and it seems to help keep things healthy.

    Anyone climbing with a petzl rig

    Jared used it in Milwaukee a few years ago at internationals. He made it look awesome. I would think someone would have that on video.

    What is the best or your fav. Ft. Ascender?

    The Stryder works great and I like the buckle on it. The buckle is chunky and locks down throughout the climb and has a little string on it that unlocks it off your foot. I use it with Escalator (super light rope) and the rope falls reliably after two steps. It has a cam lock lever that is...

    That sucks. Great articles, gave me some ideas on what I should do with the dinosaur Willow Oak that I live with now. I would love to get some hands on experience from a Jedi Veteran Tree caregiver such as yourself. Let me know if you could use my help on any projects, please.

    Pain on Gaffs

    Glad it's not affecting you all the time. I have buck steels and velcro pads wearing Merrill's, no issues. The caddy's I hear are money.

    Pain on Gaffs

    Sounds like Achilles tendonitis to me without pictures or an examination. You need to rest, ice, compress, and elevate when you can. KT tape will help too. There are good videos on how to apply. Achilles can rupture, it's inside of a sleeve and when it swells it can bind causing a tear. I think...

    Guy, if you're ever in Savannah or Charleston doing work I'm near Augusta. Stars would have to align as I'm active duty. Ya never know, could happen, so I'll put it out there. Or if you're ever near Aiken, you have a place to stay. My door is always open to tree bros.

    Pain on Gaffs

    Could be Achilles tendonitis, sounds like he's describing pain above his heel and in his calf. Pictures of you pointing to the pain would help us give you some advice so you don't get worse.

    New guy crane questions

    My .02 is to have an operator that has picked trees before and hire someone for the day that has picked trees before. The f-up factor goes way up and over the house are critical picks. If you do choose to go for it, use common sense, stay well within the chart (use wet wood weight chart), and...

    Addressing hitch binding with the Rope Wrench on descent

    Using a CT fixe pulley with the rope wrench made it work for me. It moves the legs slightly closer together and for whatever reason it functions perfectly now with a 3/2 VT. I am wrenching 28" 8mm beeline spliced on 10mm HTP and Escalator.
