    Pricing

    I think that's being a bit extreme? Price fixing requires two or more businesses engaged in the same business type agreeing to charge a set price in order to influence a bidding outcome or a price payed for sold goods or services. Is anyone here doing that? I think not. This is not much...

    Hinge wood

    All great bits of advice! You will also learn that every species has different holding qualities. Pine has tenacious hingewood so you can be thin with it and still be relatively secure. The tear out you see with the strong anchor goes well into the wood, a mill will not enjoy that because the...

    To be frank, every area will have different rates, it's has to do with competition, what does your local market tolerate? Here in the interior of BC it's mostly farms in the country and homes surrounding a large lake. We have 2 local contractors to service this area and several outside...

    what's the first mistake made in this rigging failure

    It’s simple, if you don’t know, don’t do. Never push the limits of your gear. Another guy on a separate thread here is doing advanced math to represent the theoretical efficiency of a rope system to make things more safe. Sorry, but slide rules and complex math had no place in a tree. Recognize...

    Tree Motion or monkey beaver?

    I can honestly say the MB feels broken in right from the start.

    SRT climbing line

    I usually set up a micro pulley and get my groundie to pull my shit up.

    SRT climbing line

    You don’t have to rap the whole way either you can set up some stubs like a ladder to ease climbing back up too. 20 foot pulls works for me.

    SRT climbing line

    It’s not really, for one, it’s much faster and if you are using climbing aids it’s still easier on the arms and legs. But yes you can can pump stuff up using legs and a foot ascender but even that is hard after a while. Seriously with man saws and a extra tag line body hauling can be a fast and...

    COW HITCH - ISA vs. TCIA

    Fuck sakes, you guys over think the shit out of this. It’s easy, use bigger gear than you need and an appropriate hitch. No magic! Never fails!

    Tree Motion or monkey beaver?

    Just an Update on the new MB saddle. 3 thumbs up! Lighter than my other ones, doesn’t pinch my nuts, feels great in a hang! Needs the goodies to make it a total game changer but over all a total improvement even stock.

    In plain English just use your weight to pull it up

    Rico, try this little tip for pulling heavy shit up a tree. The rap and tug. Run a pulley with a second rope and tie it to your self put a cam lock in the top to progress save it. Just rappel with it and climb back up to get it. Save some the arms dude. Done it many many times.

    what's the first mistake made in this rigging failure

    Force of a fall increases rapidly, especially when not allowed to run.

    Pollarding time

    The sculpture bit is a byproduct not the reason. The reason is because the energy for bud break and new stem growth is captured during the growing season and stored in the trunk and root. You wouldn’t want to reduce the capture period by doing the work before the leaves change colour? Once the...

    Yes that’s right! Master plan is a must before you do the job, no matter what job that is
