    Looking for the ideal rope.

    Oh god haha. That’s the glory of his videos man. No real self promotion, just sharing knowledge and mindset. I feel like there’s more to be gleaned from listening to him talk than watching any of the other YouTubers

    Limb Walking and Moving Around In Bigger and Wider Trees

    Captain Hook is the single most useful tool to achieve what you’re asking efficiently imo. Throw the captain as far out as you can on the limb you’re trying to get out to with respect to anything that may break. Nice easy to grab horizontal line to hold onto to get out there w/ progress capture...

    Vermeer 935 w/Perkins diesel for first chipper

    I asked about 9 inch chippers for a first chipper recently and the major consensus was get a 12. That being said, seeing your location, your chipper availability might make that tough if I’m remembering the rarity of chippers on that side of the nation. I know nothing of the model. Good luck in...

    Proper collar cut for vertical stem?

    Ahhh gotcha, you may be right. I was up close on the green side but didn’t check both sides until I was farther away. From there it does indeed appear uneven.

    Proper collar cut for vertical stem?

    Sorry, should’ve been more specific. Indeed - a good example of how difficult it is to see where to make the proper cut. As I’m interpreting, the collar appears to show the first referenced Gilman diagram is slightly more accurate, in this case. I may be misinterpreting. Not saying this photo...

    Question about a concept in art and science of practical rigging

    Gotcha. So it’s more about the force on the rigging point than energy absorbed by the rope. Tunnel vision :b

    Question about a concept in art and science of practical rigging

    In said book, the author advocates for pulleys over natural crotch. With the pulley, the low friction at the rigging point allows the entire length of rope in the system to absorb the energy. With natural crotch, the friction at the crotch increases the force on the working end and it is not...

    The Fundamentals of General Tree Work: 25th Anniversary Edition

    Thanks a lot for doing this. I tried the digital copy but just couldn’t do it. I’ve lusted after a paper copy for so long now. Mr Beranek’s usefulness cannot be understated. A teacher from the golden age of the internet and before we are lucky to have.

    Introductions / level of experience

    Greetings buzzards, I’ve been apart of many a forum in my life and always found it odd that this one doesn’t have some sort of “introduce yourself” thread. Forgive me if it was already deemed a bad idea, remove if we want to reduce the clutter. Maybe it’s redundant as some of you have been...
