    And while you're at it throw away the alan wrench that comes with it and put a good one in the box. I'd heard of a couple people stripping out the bolt. I could tell it was a very cheap wrench and it didn't fit 100% perfectly. When I started to break mine loose it felt very sloppy so I got a...

    Mine was completely closed. My Vortex wouldn't even go through the bird. Had to open it to the next to largest setting. It had minor creep all the way open. Just barely though.

    Chain oil additives

    My dad used to add STP to motor oil for chain oil. It was in the late 50s and 60s. He said there wasn't bar and chain oil back then. At least not in his area. I keep a 5 gallon bucket in the corner of my shop and a dedicated funnel. Every time I get an empty bottle of any kind if oil I let it...

    Put duck oil on it and it will fly.

    Using a chainsaw to cut below wedges??

    Probably made a bore cut and scotched it with the wedges. Now he's tripping the backstrap.

    WTB 120'-150' Samson Vortex

    That's what I climb on. It's a great rope with a great feel. Good for Ddrt and Srt too. Being a bigger rope it's easy on the hands. I have a spare but I would have to charge enough to order another one so you could buy a new one for the same price.

    Is there any money in stump grinding??....

    I have a guy that just does stumps. I keep plenty of his cards in my briefcase and hand one out with removal estimates or if someone asks. I have a grinder but very seldom take it out. It takes an extra trip and I can make way more just going to the next job. If one tree service in the state...

    How to secure your jobsite

    I've been searching for a solution to this problem for years. I continually have idiots enter my work zone with no regard to what's happening. We do everything we can to keep them out but we also have to work too. I see other tree videos and work is going on as usual for the most part...

    Stable braid bridge

    I did a Liger mod on an older Cougar I have. It's a pretty good saddle now. Plus I can change the bridge out as often as I want to for 3 or 4 dollars.

    Chain Hitch

    Arkansas actually. Almost neighbors. I've used it on different occasions and I feel it's safe enough to use but I've been tying the running bowline for so long that it's hard to change. I can tie the running bowline just as fast so there's no need for me to change.

    Chain Hitch

    The tail is tucked back through the last loop so pulling on the tail shouldn't undo it. It would have to be pulled out of the last loop then it could be pulled out. Richard Mumford has a break test of this knot on his youtube channel. It's tested along with the running Bowline. I'll see if I can...

    Are they going to let us know a day or two before the RRPro is available or is it just going to appear?

    Somethingwitty, you said the Akimbo was a flop. I really haven't heard much about it since all the hype as it was coming out. What do people not like about it? Other than not taking to pitchy ropes well.

    Shop talk

    Have at least one section with a high ceiling. May need to raise the boom on the bucket truck up a little to get to a cylinder. Also a moveable hoist is invaluable.

    Anyone use one of these? I've been kicking around the idea of getting one.

    Husqvarna Battery blower. Anyone using it?

    I'm in the same boat. I already have the husqvarna top handle and since I already have 4 batteries I thought I might as well get the blower and possibly the pole saw. Just waiting to see what everyone thinks about them. Patrick at Educated Climber has a video about the pole saw and seems to...
