    Sweet gum on property line, HOs disagree on limb removal

    So much drama for so little consequence.

    New HitchHikerXF

    There is a description of it in one of Richard's videos but he changed the way he refers to this hitch. Here's the link to the video where he ties it. It's the first one he shows.

    Sweet gum on property line, HOs disagree on limb removal

    If they want to retain that upright, offer to cable it and see if they're still serious. Could end up being a way to learn a new skillset. You could even tie it off with loose knots using appropriate cordage. Many ways to skin this cat without pissing someone off.

    That is a lot of wraps. Are you a heavy climber or does that help with the kernmantle smoothness?

    DownRigger, Rigging Wrench (or Scarab, or....)??

    I have and like the Scarab. I also have two co-workers who each have a Morgan Block(Downrigger) on a sling and we use them regularly. Great for a butt control line on big pieces you don't want to take a big swing and easily managed by the climber/cutter. Compact, one piece, etc. Right tool...

    AllGear 11.8 all Poly climbing lines

    I recently bought an 84' piece for smaller trees and the first pass was able to milk 7" off the end. It now feels like a static rope and is nice and round. Yet to fly it

    Break test results of various rigging slings constructed of 12 strand hollow braid

    This is great info. I made up a small 3/8 T-rex ultra sling that I use for tons of things like rigging down smaller pieces, attaching the Maasdam to for pre-tensioning during cabling, etc, and now I feel better about it's strength relative to those tasks. It also seems that the ultra sling...

    Beefy hedge shears

    I have also seen Taxus butchered and it charges back. I think you actually get better results taking it back to 1" wood than if you made smaller cuts.

    Arbsession Caralink v2 Tether SRT Setup

    That tending ring seems really high up on the system, are you tall? I use a neck tender and just clip the little biner into the middle hole of the hitch climber.

    Blue 32!

    FYI Gap Arborist Supply has some great deals on ropes for a couple more days. I got 150' of Yale Vantage(Blue Moon, different colorway) for $85. They have another variation called Poison Moon that's on sale cheap now too.

    New Grapple by Reg Coates

    Got to use the RC Grapple today removing a large, horizontal growing limb from a Swamp White Oak. I have it set up with 9mm line and a sewn eye termination with a DMM Perfect-O and it worked great. It was much less fiddly than the Captain to retrieve and easier to throw due to being heavier...

    Courant kanopa splice

    I asked one of their ambassadors who is a member here to help another member with a Courant splice and the response implied that it is behind a pay wall.

    anyone successfully start a business with no equipment or land?

    This may already be the case for you, but getting your ISA cert will make you more appealing in a city environment. I'm working on getting mine now. It's also yet another way to distinguish yourself from the pack.

    Best chainsaw pants for longevity

    The Clogger Tree Crew pants are heavy and hot but they have been durable for me. I don't like to climb in them but for ground stuff they're great. Not that pricey either.

    anyone successfully start a business with no equipment or land?

    Find something that sets you apart from other existing tree services, like small to medium-sized removals in tight spots that require climbing. That is a great niche' for the city proper. If you're just trying to do the same thing everyone else is in a place like Boston, you're swimming...

    Wood pellet cat litter

    I use this stuff. It's made from corn cobs mixed with some pine, smells great, clumps well, etc. Much prefer it to clay. For being made of an inexpensive, sustainable base it is not cheap but lasts for a good while.
