    Milwaukee top handle is coming

    No, it's always been kind of a two handed operation to move it when sharpening. Definitely feels weird when you're used to free spinning on every other saw.

    White pine issues

    I live farther up the coast and have been noticing this year a lot of mature white pines with what appears to be some kind of needle cast (presumably due to one or another of these fungal pathogens?), seems to be an emergent issue in my area. I haven’t had a chance to look more closely at any of...

    Arbor Trolley - 5 years on

    Thanks! I've got a local welder doing some work for me who could configure something similar. I was thinking just a stub of square tube on the chipper tongue that the AT could sit on and attach to with the regular handle mounting pin.

    Super pitchy crow renest climb, lots of hook use

    Nice work! All the Red Pines in my immediate area have been hit hard by the Red Pine Scale and seems to spreading every year. Any occurrence in MA?

    Sorry to hear it! Good reminder. I had Lyme twice in the last year even with diligent checks. I learned some years ago that the incidence of Lyme in California is significantly lower due to the ticks feeding on Blue Bellied Lizards that have some kind of natural antibodies to the bacteria.

    Do you still store the AT on your chipper, Sean? Do have any pictures of how you set that up? Thanks

    The Body Language of Trees - A handbook for failure analysis

    Could it also be that a lot of what initially appears to be failure of tension wood are actually shear failures, where most of the individual fibers haven’t actually failed but sheared apart allowing the tree to fail?

    Five bushy spruces next to the lines; great one for a no cleanup job, just had to limb and buck and leave a mess. Customer said they know someone with a pulp truck to haul it all off.

    Replace this rope?

    Yeah, I was actually thinking about Dan Osman and the kind of free falls he would take on dynamic lines. Seems like all the (non-tree) climbing accidents I've heard of where the rope failed were due to other factors like sharp edges or cutting through it with friction. Definitely wise to play...

    Replace this rope?

    Out of curiosity, anyone know of an accident involving a rope actually breaking (not being cut)?

    Opinions are like a*holes; everyone's got one and they all stink.

    Pole saw and usage

    Yeah, the power does transfer through the shaft. However, the shaft seems fairly stout as tested by my own stupidity on a couple occasions, haha

    Pole saw and usage

    Loving the Milwaukee telescoping pole saw! So much torque. Kinda heavy, but a lot of the weight is at the handle where both the battery and motor are, which makes it easy to brace on one's leg or body. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/3013-20

    Replace this rope?

    Where in the length of rope is it? I spiked a 150' line almost dead center and now have two shorter ropes. Sort of a blessing in disguise though, because the 80' has become my go to for a significant number of removals around here.
