    Trees from a distance

    I like that. The leaves just kind of lay right for it... but where the hell do you find one the size of the big tree in the group?

    Looking for Fundamentals of Gen Tree Work

    That sounds like the way to go.

    Don't tell me it's not important! We need a diagram to be sure.

    I got scared out of nowhere... Seeking advice.

    I gaffed out twice in my first week on spurs.

    That is great news. I love vortex, and I thought I was going to have to buy one of those fat rope wrenches to use it.

    It's good to have you back.

    Unrealistic expectations across the board make it a flop. It will be a cautionary tale for equipment in this industry for the foreseeable future.

    Starting a small company while sick/injured

    It sounds like you need machines. Maybe get a loan for a nice grinder or a portable mill and transition into something that can pay your startup costs for a tree service? Unless you're good enough at business to not need to ask questions, I can't imagine being able to build a tree service from...

    rope runner pro

    It was supposed to be the device that could do everything well. It turned out to be finicky and fiddly and not nearly as smooth as the rope runner. Guys are liking them as lanyard adjusters, but with all the hype and all the preorders it just fell short. Doug Tochtrop was the one who showed me...

    Outstanding is a strong word. They're alright. Liver is far overused. It compares to hotdogs or most stinkbait. If you want to catch channel cats, cut bait is the way. Especially big channel cats.

    I can't help but giggle. Sherrilltreestuff: "Oh, no! Everyone is mad at us! Who does nobody not like?" "Kevin Bingham. They love that guy." "They do! Don't we have an excuse to associate ourselves with him?" "The rope runner 2! The akimbo flopped! There's still a market there!"

    Trimming a Neighbor’s Tree

    That was a good guess.

    If it's even almost as smooth as the original then it's worth more than the akimbo.

    Trimming a Neighbor’s Tree

    No. That is something to sell. I have no problem with dead that is on my way to my cuts, but climbing the whole canopy when we're only getting paid for me to access a quarter of it just isn't happening unless they've really made my life easier (maybe letting us open a fence for equipment access...

    Rough cost for chip box?

    I just want to throw out that those things are expensive, but they're a royal pain and a lot of downtime if you do them yourself. You still end up paying more if you value your time. Building a good-looking dump box for a truck sounds pretty simple until you do it.

    Finally tried speedlining, and now I'm hooked.

    That's way simpler than setting a hitch with a tending pulley and having to sling it onto the tree. I like it.

    I can't believe I have never heard of this.

    SRT/Ddrt Rope Suggestion

    Another vote to just rock the blue moon here. It leaves nothing to be desired. I've fallen in love with my kmiii max, but my next line will be another yale 11.7. I'll keep a really static line for comps, but the ddrt/srt changeover ability and smooth performance with every hitch cord while...
