Got an email from Sherrill advertising some new gear, one of which is this.

Basically a copy of the CE Lanyard. Found it kinda ironic that Sherrill would copy it, but I'm not suprised, seeing as they...
The thinner lines can be hard on the hands, but depending if you wear gloves or not that may not be a huge factor. I've climbed on KMIII for awhile and liked it. No experience with HTP expect when I've borrowed it at comps to footlock on. Lotta good reviews tho.
If weight isn't a factor look...
Just thought I'd post a short vid I made from when I was down in Asheville, NC, working with Andrew and Wagner Tree Experts. Worked with them for about a week after the Charlotte comp, Andrew's the one doing most of the climbing. Also included some photos of a drive I took on the Blue Ridge...
Love the low profile dump we just got. I thought about a deck over but our mini would have a tough time loading it. But if you can get one with fold down sides, I'd look into it. That's the one thing I wish we had sometimes.
Hey guys, I have a buddy who's moving to Northern CA here shortly and he asked me to look into what he can potentially make/charge as a contract climber there. He's been in contact with a few companies already, but he doesn't know what he should be charging over there. A hi/low price range, etc...
I like to do it the way tailtree described it, tossing my climbline up above me as I work my way up, and cutting to the TIP, rinse and repeat. I noticed that's how Gerry does it in many of the clips from his training videos, so thats how I tried it and I like it a lot.
Also picked up that...
White is easy to make look good, plus all the reasons treecareinc listed. I had this convo with another guy while I was down in Asheville. He talked about how much he loved having white trucks, because with a good wash and scrub the thing would look brand new. You can hardly, if at all, see...
Morbark all the way here. We've been rocking a Model 17 bought brand new in '94, 110hp JD engine(biggest model and engine at the time) and it's still going strong. This thing will eat just about whatever we feed it.
On some of my travels I've heard ppl praise Morbark as well. Not so much the...
I've seen Kevin's biner trick, definitely one to keep in the tool bag.
As for your trick Casey, I like to just run it through multiple limbs and crotches to help distribute the load. I did a big Oak recently where I ran it through 3 or 4 crotches so I could distribute the load between the...
Nice video man, takin care of business as usual!
That trunk smashing apart reminds of a Hackberry removal we just did, I had to rig out a back lead so we could fall it and a good section of trunk wood blew apart like that. Solid above and and around it for the most part. Still gives ya that...
Hats off to Luke, I got a hitch climber pulley instead of a DMM oval biner on my recent order and he had the oval biner here the next day and said don't worry about the HC and to just keep it. Thanks a ton man!
Oldest truck we had I think was a late 80's Ford crane truck. The truck was a death trap to drive really, always had things going wrong with it. But man, the crane on that thing would pick up anything. Only used it to pick up wood, it wasn't a big crane, but man, it picked up just about whatever...
Heard bad things about it, and not just because its Kong. Heard the webbing wears very quick, and that the frame can cut through it. Also heard it pops off the rope quite easily and can be quite annoying. But again, only what I've heard. Personally, I've never tried it and have zero experience...
