    Being a “Young” Business Owner

    When I imagine myself 20 years ago thinking about what 40 would feel like and extrapolate what it will be like in another 40 years, it's really hard. I have a good imagination, but still.

    Ice tail endless loop

    Without double checking, I seem to remember the tuck-bury being the most compact. I need to to practice it, because I know it's not as hard as my brain is trying to convince me it is, but Brocky has posted some amazing numbers with the tuck-bury. Seems worth a shot.

    Ice tail endless loop

    I think I did a brummel, and then only one fid bury actually. otherwise it's stuffed too tight near the ring and won't hold on to the host line very well unless you run it on something really fat.

    Artemis II

    I wonder if the folks who think we didn't go up there have ever checked the math. I would be a lot more inclined to believe we didn't go to the moon if you could show me mathematically that it's not possible.

    Ice tail endless loop

    sweet. you're gonna end up with about a 30" loop to get proper buries, and you will have space for brummels. I made one of those once too, and it worked great.

    Turf tracks for ditch witch

    I am often impressed with the finesse some machine operators have. I have nowhere near enough tine with any one machine besides a chipper to be even call myself proficient. I bet a smart guy with a few arduinos could make that happen. Hell, I bet someone in Russia or thereabouts has figured it...

    Maintenance… daily or when needed?

    Agreed.

    Ice tail endless loop

    class 1 v class 2 is mostly about bury length for strength. What are you tryna do with this loop?

    Being a “Young” Business Owner

    I'm about to be 40, and I only stopped referring to "us kids" about two years ago. I am younger than 95% of the guys I have worked with. I have seen a few 20-somethings try it out and quit, but around Butte county, there aren't actually that many young climbers- mostly 30's, and lots of older...

    Be honest… I used to be in the “only check when something feels off” group.

    Ice tail endless loop

    I made one once. I managed to keep it to a 4" loop. I use it to hang my med. duty weedwhacker on my weedwhacker harness, since it doesn't vome with a ring. Basically just think of it like a splice to join two pieces of rope together, but then you do it with the ends of a single piece. I didn't...

    Rigging with karabiners

    Damn man, that's pushin it for real for real. I thought I had pushed it heavy, but I have never bent a steelie. Shit, I have yet to even ruin a gate. I have always been too cautious for that, I guess; probably comes from starting out with nobody to show me what's what.

    Question on life support carabiners with auto locking bypass feature

    As has been mentioned before, and in the sales literature for the ORCA, they are not for novice users. Expert use only. I would have done the same as you @Phil I just hadn't seen one in action, and I hadn't ever heard a discussion about them, but now I understand their use case better. and I...

    Question on life support carabiners with auto locking bypass feature

    So, how difficult is it to set it to the position where it will open again? Does that take two separate and distinct movements?

    Eminectin benzoate rates

    Thanks for the download. I don't think my clients will wanna see plugs left in, so plugless is a consideration too.

    Songs of Perfection

    Robert Hunter sings too?!? I've been listening to the Dead for 24 years, and it never ceases to amaze me how much more is out there. That's cool that Jerry and Mickey play on that one too.

    Eminectin benzoate rates

    I expect to be getting deeper into this stuff in the next year or two, and for the number of trees I'll likely be treating for any given client, it will really matter how long each injection takes, so as much insight that y'all are inclined to give on that aspect would be hugely appreciated.

    Rigging with karabiners

    The slic-pin shackle seems like the ticket. When I start rigging with my own gear again, I'll definitely pick one of those up.

    Are you sitting down? Logging going autonomous via AI

    I've been hearing whispers of this for about a year now. It can't be denied that logging is dangerous work, and having machines do the most dangerous part of the job will likepy result in a decrease in logging fatalities, and probably injuries too. Still... DEY TOOK OUR JOBS!!!
