    Dies on throttle up

    A number of saws that usually run well are suddenly a pain to throttle up. Some of them I can get past the problem by goosing or coaxing the throttle until it gets to full speed. A couple of others just aren't playing at all. They start but won't throttle up. They just die. They are all getting...

    "Well, sh*t... that wasn't what I expected.

    Probably the closest I ever came to killing or seriously injuring myself on the job was today. If you saw it but weren't really paying attention, you might never notice. I did though. Very hot and humid. Last cut of the day. Chip cutting a 3ft oak stub. Maybe 8" diameter, so not a big piece...

    srt cut rope

    There are countless ways to kill or injured yourself in this business. With SRT, following the trends and reports, I see two risks that need to be considered or mitigated. The first is a trend to getting super high tie-ins. Often these tie ins are not or cannot be assessed properly from the...

    TreeStuff and SherrillTree Join Forces

    Totally did not see this coming. I have a TreeStuff order enroute right now. Best of all moving forward. Hard to navigate change sometimes, but that's what happens.

    Pain in the effing asses is what tree guys are. Some women just can't resist, I guess.

    Your least favourite tree to climb, and why.

    You might think 4 years in the South would give me plenty of new candidates to choose from, but I'll still pick willow. Don't see them in the South. Fortunately. Giant sized dead trees are creepy too.

    Your least favourite tree to climb, and why.

    Those things shatter into a million pieces when they hit the ground on really cold days too. Endless clean up.

    Wonder What's Going On In It?

    Tinkering with a few carbs and changing out gaskets, diaphragms and needles has been revealing, but I didn't really know how the dang things really work Until I found this. Highly recommend!

    It's da Muddafuggin Charlotte

    I've been involved with the Charlotte competition for a few years. I think it's the largest of the somewhat regular style non-ISA sanctioned events. This year we tried something new with throw line that's been on my mind for awhile. We eliminated the requirement to set a rope. You could use it...

    Maintaining Saws

    I'm not that accomplished of a climber. I discovered that when I moved down here where the big trees are. I'll get there, and I can climb on many configurations, but it ain't no Redbull commercial, trust me! I'm not a competitive level climber. I'm just a working climber.

    Maintaining Saws

    Well, Greg made me sound way more awesome than I am in real life. Mostly I feel like I'm making it up as I go along, slowly. Just the two of us running this show. For reasons not completely to do with work opportunity, I have quite a bit of spare time and I can discount the $ value of my time to...
