    Question on life support carabiners with auto locking bypass feature

    I think you can rotate the gate and it will stay in that position in case you need to free your hand for something, then you just push the gate in and it opens. They do close automatically though. I used them on my last lanyard and they were just fine. Didn't know they did that when I bought...

    Spiral grain

    I have seen this on Wild Cherry here in Michigan frequently. It is always on really large, old trees. My take is that it is a way to stabilize the overall structure of a tree by changing up the plane of failure by changing the grain. Makes for a hard piece of wood to split.

    Big tree, no space

    +1 to everything @ATH said. If you walk around the outside perimeter of Central Park in NYC, all the mature trees are surrounded by paving bricks that get periodically re-set. There are some drastic undulations in those bricks but the tripping hazards are few and far between. If they can do...

We also wanted clients to know that we function as a group, and this is one of our strengths. We're structured as a cooperative and wanted something...

    Bracing rod sweetgum?

    Or use something like Branch Saver that is textile and the angle won't matter as much.

    Bracing rod sweetgum?

    Why not just remove the left side? Are they poor compartmentalizers? Not a species I have deep knowledge of. I would be inclined to either remove entirely or cable, and just use those beveled washers so the cable doesn't bend.

    Stolen Stumper and Trailer in MI

    Actually yes. Through some perseverance, luck and connections we have identified the thief and are just waiting for the Detroit Police Department to act on our information. He has an extensive record of doing things like what he did to us. I've already accepted the loss but boy would it be...

    Stolen Stumper and Trailer in MI

    No insurance, all the other things in place though. Plan on calling Bandit Monday morning to warn them if someone calls to order a remote or tether controller for this model.

    Stolen Stumper and Trailer in MI

    Hey Buzzers, we had one of our dump trailers and a Bandit 2450XP(which was in the trailer) stolen this morning around 10:20am, broad daylight, from right in front of my partner's house. He and his son actually walked out and saw the guy who pulled up his face mask, jumped in the truck and sped...

    Lost another friend to the trees today.

    That new looking white fence could have played a role in the failure. Sorry for the loss of a friend and good man.

    KBNest -Midline Attachable SRS Canopy Anchor.

    I've watched Tie-Dyed Climber use it a bunch but still don't understand it. The video always moves too fast and my anchor game is pretty simple.

    Tree oddities

    I have some air-layered Green Giant Arborvitaes that I planted three years ago and they are still tiny. I don't think it works to create new trees in most species, but I'm sure there are some that it does.
