    Pruning a young cherry tree

    In that case, every one you can't reach. Or don't and buy an orchard ladder.

    Curling leaves

    A key ingredient there is one that is most often scarce.

    Vectran core, ice tail cover

    Less stretchy hitch cords tie more reliable hitches. A bunch of stretch lets them bind. It's also true of a tighter braid. I hate how finicky ice tail got for me back when I used it (because it was so strong and heat resistant!) We're not relying on the hitch to be a shock absorber. The tree...

    "Pendulum swinging" something by tip-tying a fixed-line of bull-rope? (instead-of a Vert.Speedline)

    There's no other way. You have to have a bag of tricks to be able to handle it all.

    Chainsaw Pants for the summer?

    I don't sag. I wasn't even climbing hard. I also don't wear drawers. They messed up my day.

    Chainsaw Pants for the summer?

    I've still got them laying around at the shop. I have been meaning to get them fixed. The boss never reached out to let them straighten it out.

    Chainsaw Pants for the summer?

    I don't even know what that means. I know I was mad. I've bought cars for less than those pants.

    "Pendulum swinging" something by tip-tying a fixed-line of bull-rope? (instead-of a Vert.Speedline)

    That is exactly what I meant. On a healthy, strong tree, it should be on your list of options. I'll stand on 3" live oak with no qualms at all. Just walking down and tossing whatever size pieces you can easily toss without hurting yourself doesn't necessarily train your "vision" but it...

    Chainsaw Pants for the summer?

    I blew the crotch out of a pair of pfanner gladiator ventilation pants in less than 10 working days.

    Chainsaw Pants for the summer?

    That's what they're called! Yeah. They are pretty sharp and pretty comfy. They are also hot.

    Chainsaw Pants for the summer?

    I have a pair of the super light cloggers. Whatever the model name is.... and they are hot. Wear light ones and sweat or be reasonable and just put on chaps when it is time to cut.

    "Pendulum swinging" something by tip-tying a fixed-line of bull-rope? (instead-of a Vert.Speedline)

    A 25' tall spindly live oak sounds like a cake climb. Why exactly aren't you just cut and tossing it? If it is because you'd prefer to play, I get it.

    Graeme McMahon's Age

    I don't really watch a bunch of videos of tree work being done with cute soundtracks behind them, but I was looking at the videos for treestuff's video contest thing and the very first one blew me away as the scale of this dead euc resonated and I got to see how terribly split apart it was. Once...

    Ropetek Wraptor redesign

    I don't know what that is about, but I'm glad that whoever didn't die. We forgive you for being an asshole.

    Transporter or shembiner

    Someone recommended that I hang my big saw from my leg when I work down a spar. It is supposed to keep the weight in a more comfortable spot. I haven't tried it yet.

    Transporter or shembiner

    I love them as well. I bought two after the first time I saw one and they've been on my saddle ever since. I'd rock a transporter if one was given to me, but I wouldn't take off my shembiners. I'd probably put a locking gate tool on my leg strap.

    Transporter or shembiner

    I just want to throw out that I have two original shembiners, and they are no longer shaped identically. I can only guess that I bent my left one by snagging it during a swing or as I muscled off of a dead stub or something, but it is definitely deformed from some amount of load that was small...

    When using half's/marl's before a cow or bolan, why not just use an O-ring at that junction instead?

    We have a big one. It's motherfucking big and heavy. Like a medium size POW. It was a gift at a competition from someone who knew that they wouldn't use it.

    Passing rope joint through block

    Then put the whole cost in the bid and don't think twice if you miss a job that you weren't equipped for.
