    holy SHIT !!!

    Mr nice guy goes out the window with non disclosure resulting in my equipment falling into a pile of someone’s shit! And me almost losing my livelihood because of it. Think of the potential cost to recover you crane had it overturned?

    holy SHIT !!!

    He’s probably great with it if you are fixing that! You could have been killed! That’s bullshit! He’s liable for that.

    holy SHIT !!!

    Like Steve said, you should be the one looking to be compensated for the lost pads and extra time to deal with machine recovery and a log that was not placed where it was supposed to be due to circumstances that were not in your control.

    So trump admits he lied

    I was raised in Cali as a boy, my dad is from Missouri, my mom is Canadian. One thing that stands out as a distinct difference between Canadians and US citizens is our lack of patriotism here in Canada. Not many people here fly the flag and are faithful in allegiance like the American people...

    holy SHIT !!!

    Lucky home owner! The crane would have pummeled the house! As would the log if I’m seeing this right? Nice job with the emergency reaction. Obviously things like this can’t be forecasted, did you pre weight the pad with no sinkage? Might not have made any difference? The tree weight probably...

    Strongest Choked configuration?

    My mechanic works at the docks in Vancouver, he showed me a picture of the cargo straps the use on the gantry cranes for special lifts! Holy crap! 1 guy can’t even lift em! They come in all different sizes and strengths.

    Strongest Choked configuration?

    Dude if you want ultimate strength don’t use a choke, use double or triple wrap eye to eye. And if you want stupid bomber do the same with Big assed rate cargo straps! You can rip the world down with that!

    WTF...now this

    It’s easy to look at this device as a bulky attempt at something? Airplane aluminum is pretty lightweight stuff. This product may also reduce wear on the bridge as well as distribute load on the user. So, while my immediate reaction is !?!? I’ll reserve judgement until the reviews are in. This...

    Honestly, I personally think safety IS the responsibility of the individual. If you feel safer hauling twice the amount of rope into the tree- more power too ya! Myself, I’ve always had great confidence in my gear mostly because if I ever question something, it’s gone. My gear placement- same...

    SRT is simple fast and clean. No fuss, only one rope to clean up. You can even set up for moving MA albeit a bit slow.

    Money can buy silence and make things vanish.

    So trump admits he lied

    Easy to admit when caught red handed.

    WTF...now this

    Much of that crushing comes from loading up with shit loads of heavy gear ie a large saw! The spreader should help there. But it seems pretty bulky. I guess to be fair, we need people to use it and give us an honest opinion in the real world.

    Cool tree tent

    The portaledge has been used for many many years in really exposed places. It’s simple and reasonably portable. It has a single point suspension which makes it ideal for tree camping because you have loads of options for installation. You could put a pulley in one tree and one in a another tree...

    Loop vs prussic

    Oh, I use the circus sometimes but mostly not, simply because it's kinda hard to verify compared to the butterfly knot.

    Sure that works. I live in an area where many people own CABINS? Big assed waterfront houses and are only here for maybe 2 weeks a year. They like me to ensure the entire job is done and they wish to not have to deal with the other parts of it. For that I charge a management fee. I make it...

    Evo, there is nothing illegal about hiring another contractor to do a portion of the job. I sub out stump grinding, excavator and dump truck all the time. There is no foul play there. I include the cost of those contractors in my final price. I also inform the client of my intent to hire another...

    Loop vs prussic

    Are you talking about a truckers hitch? 3-4 twists in a bight then pull a bight from the standing end through the bottom for a loop? That's pretty basic for a simple and fast block connection. I use that almost daily on small trees.
