    Compact Bulldog Bone

    I think the deal here is it gets modified it so much, they make it their own practically. Leaving less percentage for the inventor. With a good vertical mill, anything could be duplicated. If one is alien to mill work, it wouldn't take much to become acquainted. As with anything. some seat...

    Need a new mechanical

    Soo many mechanicals. With the recent releases, I'm a bit burned out. Was talking to the new climber, on the crew I most frequent, about the lack of arb stores around here. Well, 45mins from me but in the metro area. It would be great to open one up. @evo 's post made me think of that. Trying...

    Compact Bulldog Bone

    Yep....I forever will be. I want one of each that I don't have. Just released or proven in the fields makes no difference. Even though I've read 2 bad reviews on the brand new Throttle, and told myself I don't want it, it's so intriguing. It just looks so damn sexy. I've always thought the...

    Need a new mechanical

    I hear that and it's been on my mind. On the path of a BDB more, then MAYBE getting a blackbird at another date to play with.....depending on reviews.

    Today....

    Another crane day and 5 more trees. 2 large black locusts, 2 box elder, and a good sized silver maple with a 40'' or so base diam. The 2 box elder were single picks and the locusts were about 4 picks each. I wasn't counting...LOL. I did all 4 of them and the tag teamed the maple with the new...

    Need a new mechanical

    Going to revisit some BDB threads, and wait for some more views on the new products before deciding. I don't want to invest at the moment anyways. I'll keep making do for now. Besides I really need a new to me replacement pickup. Getting myself back into a diesel would be superb. The only decent...

    We lost a old buzz member yesterday @jontreeHI

    I hate it when tragedy hits this close. I'm currently financially strapped at the moment. Taxes need to be paid, HO insurance, and 3g worth of repair bills for my truck. @evo PLEASE PM me in a month in case I forget. I should by recovered by then.

    Need a new mechanical

    From the BlackBird thread a good point was brought up by member @Lupin_IV The Unicender was mentioned by @ATH It may be an awesome option. I find my self doing spar work and it leaves me using the ZZ as another flip line for a double tie in. Trouble is, there's no bailout option. It serves as...

    ART BlackBird for "MRT and SRT"

    Reon Rounds uses the Uni in this method. Gets me thinking more...... Bringing this back to my thread from earlier. I will post it up no. I forget what I called the thread. It'll appearunder WHAT'S NEW Sorry for the derail @moss now back to the BlackBird.

    GRCS

    So I do need both...... :bailando:LOL I switch to the bollard if I need to punish it. I think I'd rather have the Hobbs for pre-tensioning before punishing it. Another piece of gear that falls in the category of, "doesn't come out in the field much but, glad to have it when needed."

    F250 Dump Thoughts

    I use a 3/4 ton pick up with an extended cab as a contract climber. I keep my gear behind the seats and 2 saws ride in the bed. I like to bring home a load of good wood home when available. It gets old unloading by hand at the end of the day. Since my box is getting rough, I've been planning to...

    Before ‘SPAM’

    Haven't touched that stuff since my early teens. I dislike all forms of spam. Green eggs and spam I am. :vomito:

    GRCS

    That's a great deal. It's what I paid for mine brand new, a decade ago. @Chris Schultz why the hell do I want a Hobbs? Could just be the gear junkie in me. LOL

    ART BlackBird for "MRT and SRT"

    Meh....I didn't want to complicate my choices. LOL Seriously, it's one that escaped my radar. If I don't decide on something mid line attachable, it'll be a ZZ. I need something for a 200' crane rope. Using 2 climbers one day, I was setting slings while the other guy hung around the unions...

    Shop, garage, parking, etc.

    I'm on a 5.5 acre ''farmstead'' in a very rural area. Works for me. Plenty of room to grow and expand, if I ever do. Would like to purchase the 66acres sold off, before me, and add back to this parcel. Levi, do what's comfortable for you. Take on more if you choose to. If it seem expensive, you...

    ART BlackBird for "MRT and SRT"

    May be what I'm looking for. I'll let the real world reviews come out first, instead of relying on an ART commercial ....LOL I do agree with all the above posts. Dude is an excellent climber. Blackbird has some very cool features and, I too, have always been keen on ART. Loves some German over...

    Pretty cool for sure. A true sense of freedom. My favorites are the converted Unimogs.

    That goofy dork looking guy Nick from Tree Stuff can shove it.

    I try and push for unity wherever I am. It's a very hard thing to do at times. It is very satisfying when you know you have made a difference. No matter how small that accomplishment may be. May we all unite as brothers and sisters.
