    Wisdom: Share it (tree or other)

    Don't take a dump in the woods and leave the saw wrench in your back pocket.

    I just got a splicing kit, now what?

    When yall make a loopie or whoopie sling how much do you bury for the adjusting part? I have a couple that I bought years ago and one is 10 inches and the other is 12. Been thinking about making one and was wondering if there is a recommended amount.

    ultra slings

    @dmonn. What setup is your retrievable ring? I finally spliced my first Ultra Sling last week with the big ring on it. Today I needed a way to remotely install and retrieve it. Or at least a rigging block. Didn't really want to pull a block up on a separate rope. That seems like it could...

    My first "Oh, F...!!" moment while climbing.

    It happens. Got mine caught up in my rope runner a time or two. Not as bad as yours. Just pushed up on it and released it. If you're sliding your hand down the rope just below your device it can get pulled in. Another good reason to carry a knife of some sort on your saddle. A pocket knife is...

    Speed line came untied at the ground

    I've used a Rig N wrench at the tractor. Works good but there is about 4 inches of setback on a bigger piece as it pulls the line down. Doesn't bother anything though. I have a Tree Angel that I'm going to use next time. At least for the lighter limbs. It will be quicker than a porty and you...

    Helping out Your Neighbor’s with Their Trees

    If I had charged for all the free or cut rate work I've done I could probably retire right now. But it's been for friends or family or elderly neighbors. Some people will deliberately take advantage of you too. It hasn't hurt me yet and I've got quite a few good paying jobs from that work by...

    When customers estimate tree size

    Every tree around here is over 150 years old. According to the homeowner. Even if it's a 35 year old water oak that's 50 inches and grew an inch and a half per year. Had a lady call and want a cat rescue. He's 150 up in my tree. There's nothing around here over 100 ft. I pull up and he's 30 ft...

    Zipline issue

    Especially from Home Depot. Wouldn't buy anything life support from there. There's plenty of folks here who will have better advice about what's right.

    Zigzag or Akimbo

    I don't have an Akimbo but I've heard they're finicky. The Rope Runner does pretty good though. And they're for sale all over now since the rr pro came out. I've already seen a couple of rr pros for sale.

    Lightning Regulations

    Golf courses around here are great lightning attractors. Several of them help keep us busy with lightning trees. Some of the worst I've ever seen has been on a golf course. I can usually see storms from the tree before they get too close. I don't like playing around with it. I'll get down and do...

    The Shultz Effect

    I believe it's way ahead of where a lot of climbers are right now. Especially me. I frequently refer back to it when I have an idea or need a refresher. Its definitely not outdated.

    And it's, 'Weigh...hey...tow it away...'

    I bet he don't have trailer brakes either.
