Re: Weekly Tree ID Picture Quiz#2
sawtooth oak Fagaceae Quercus acutissima Carruthers
Leaf: Alternate, simple, lanceolate in shape, 3 to 7 inches long, pinnately veined with a very sharply serrate margin bearing bristle-tipped teeth. Strongly resembles a Castanea leaf.
Flower: Male...
Paraphrasing here:
"Hey just popped in to say someone almost fell out of a TM saddle, goin' on vacation, later."
"My friend has a TM with a sharp ring that cuts webbing. Vacation. Later."
For the record I have neither fallen out of or had my TM self-destruct.
Fold and Holds are too floppy for my tastes. I personally use a Bollie Bag.
The bucket is a good $1.99 soloution that doubles as gear storage and is rigid.
I'm sure there are as many opinions on throwline storage as there are arborists.
How long does the "it" person have to make an escape after being tagged?
Seems like everyone would be closing in on the same area when the tag is made, making it hard for the new person to get away?
Sounds like fun!
Since we are on the subject; does anyone know if the Sherrill TreeFrog will be outlawed or approved at the Southern Chapter Tree Climbing Championship?
Thanks, Paul. There was an ugly little pug hanging around, actually! Should be loads of pics coming as I saw a lot of cameras going around. Pretty funny I'll bet with the GAA muscle shirts on. Easy-P drew some pretty badazz tattoos on his brother Simon and we all got sunburnt. It was awesome...
