    Modern Arboriculture vs. A New Tree Biology and Dictionary

    Great advice everyone, thank you so much. Any other recommendations for books on taking care of mature trees/how that sort of maintenance differs from younger trees?

    Lots of Gear for Sale

    Just uploaded. Just to clarify, this is not the static kernmaster special. It's a fairly dynamic rope.

    Climbing boots with Safety Toe

    I would love to spend less than $200, but for how important the work we do is, I'm willing to spring for a pair of Kayos.

    Saddle Ergonomics

    I love the Lower D's on the TM, but find that I end up stepping through my lanyard a lot when I store it there. Anyone have any clever solutions?

    Saddle Ergonomics

    Functionality is a good point. I went from an Onyx to a TM. My only complaints with the Onyx are that the small size never quite fit right on me (30" waist), and I wish the lower D's/rigging plates were bigger. Besides that, I loved it.

    Stihl MSA 300 battery Saw - any Husky competitor coming (bigger than 540i)?

    For what it's worth, I run a 200X battery in my 536 Li. I feel like the new battery, designed to pull a 14" bar ends up with more power running the 12" bar that my 536 came with.

    Saddle Ergonomics

    If you had to choose, would you prefer a saddle that fits beautifully, but has less padding, or one that fits fine, but has more padding? Which do you think would be better for you in the long run? I have a TreeMotion s. light that I loved. Started feeling some weird pain in my back (which in...

    Disenchantment with the industry.

    I'm just an employee. Like most other people I've entertained the thought of going off on my own, but haven't pulled the trigger.

    Disenchantment with the industry.

    Anyone ever suffer from being disenchanted with arboriculture, and pull through it to start loving it again? I'm 30 years old and 5 years in. I wouldn't say I have regrets, but I feel like I'm plateauing or getting stale, despite wanting to still learn more and improve myself.

    Singing RR or RR pro?

    I have an og RR that I love. I got the bird flap, which I view almost as necessary. My only complaint was that it took me a while to break in. The RR was my first mechanical device, and it was scary to use before I broke it in. It felt like you could either drop like a rock, or stop, but the...
