    January TCIA feat. The Buzz and Mark Chisholm

    I really don't find ads here to be obtrusive. They are there, but not in the way. They don't randomly pop up and block content.,. I also appreciate that they are industry relevant and not inappropriate.

    Tree Cracking from Freezing

    Right. Not like trees randomly just crack. They are traced to previous wounds.

    Tree Cracking from Freezing

    Years I was helping measure the floors in an open a building with an architect for some rough ideas about where some walls could go. The long tape I had in the truck was a logging tape...with increments of feet and 1/10 of feet. Obviously, not a normal thing - he had never seen one. "Is that...

    We were having this discussion once and my wife made the comment about the metric system being 10x easier...without even knowing she came up with a great joke. She was just using it as an expression.

    Yeah...it is ten times easier. ;)

    Stihl gas and oil caps like or loath?

    Send it over and I'll try some of my Husky flip caps to let you know. Probably need a few years of testing to say for sure though. But seriously, I'll try to remember to put calipers on them and compare to the older saws I have next time I'm at the shop (next few days are not promising for...

    Stihl gas and oil caps like or loath?

    you need to buy more screnches! Keep one always near the fuel. Often the chain could be snugged up too at refuleing time and that's more likely to happen if there is a scrench right there.

    Gotta know how many Golden retrievers the branch is gonna hold before I set a tie in point.

    Stihl gas and oil caps like or loath?

    If you compare Stihl flippy caps to tool-required caps, sure, they are OK. But I still wouldn't say hands down winner...there is always a scrench nearby, so not a big deal. However, Stihl flippy caps to Husqvarna flippy caps = there is no competition for the better cap. Husqvarna wins that...

    European or American Golden retrievers?

    Tree Cracking from Freezing

    Yeah...I can see how things like that spread rumors. Imagine hearing that then going out to look and finding the pieces everywhere. "cold must have made that tree explode". Get on FB and tell all your friends and next thing you know news stations are reporting about exploding trees.

    Stihl gas and oil caps like or loath?

    Yeah...lothe is a strong word. But I certainly don't understand why they still exist. It saves maybe 0.83 seconds to do a quarter turn instead of 2 turns IFF it grabs right the first time - which isn't always the case. Of course then you loose 0.67 seconds of that savings to pull up on it...

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    I assume so. Nothing wrong with bidding it that way if you are willing to help but don't want to or are too busy. If your bid is still the best, so be it.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Absolutely. I've come to the conclusion somebody not worth $20/hr isn't somebody I want to hire (at least not long-term below $20 - $17-18 might be a good starting place just to see if somebody with no experience is going to work out).

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    A) It's a stupid title to the video. I'm sure TCIA rejects many articles. They aren't publishing a 600 page volume each month. I don't think there is a conspiracy against the point he is making. B) Curious why you oppose TCIA? I'm not going to try to defend them one way or the other...I'm...

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    I do agree that equipment is a GREAT answer for a lot of tree work to improve both safety and efficiency. I think his rant is against trees being removed that don't "need" to be removed...but the company will do it (or some, maybe even push it) because they have equipment payments to make. I...

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    "The industry has historically had some problems with restraint.....can't resist selling out the trees..." (4:50) Well said. It is certainly a challenge. Big iron=big money which means it needs to be working.

    One Leg Squat

    I cannot do them, but check out pistol squats. I'll have to ask if my son can do them yet, but one of his baseball coaches was having him do these which is where I learned of them. He needed a bench for balance when starting out with those. Not sure if that is part of their regular...

    Bulgarian split squats? Yes. Other leg in front? Cannot get quite all the way down anymore.
