    Municipal VS Self Employment

    You guys are probably right, I'm doing way more than some others my age. I'm in a time of my life where I can afford to do nothing, I guess. Still feels wrong though :D

    Oh, it must be a model we only just got in Germany. I'll see if I can find out more about it.

    Municipal VS Self Employment

    I'm not planing to start a company any time soon, I dont even know if I will do something with trees as my main job. I kinda want to do some rec climbing courses, something where I can climb and make a bit of money off of it. Studying arboriculture would also be something I'm interested in, but...

    I never looked at cats that way, seems like a very hard problem with cats and their status in our society...

    Municipal VS Self Employment

    Damn, I haven't gotten around to doing much in my 16 years of life, and you hired a employee at my age. Really makes me wonder what I could be doing if I tried.

    Battery Powered Chainsaw/Hedge Trimmer

    I'd see it that way from their product website, maybe someone who has used both saws can comment on it. edit: The 36V one is, to my suprise, not brushless and instead uses a brushed motor which is not as reliable. That'd be a downside. edit 2: Makita makes a brushless 36V tophandle too, it can...

    Battery Powered Chainsaw/Hedge Trimmer

    The 36V Model uses 2 batteries where the 18V model uses 1. It therefore has more battery capacity. The 36V also has a higher chain speed, which means it is more powerful. This is not fully correct from a physics standpoint, if it has the same Force it is more powerful. This should be the case...

    Where do you find cats that are stuck in trees though? I've never actually seen one in a tree.

    Battery Powered Chainsaw/Hedge Trimmer

    Makita makes a top handle saw, great thing is that you can also use their batteries with every other power tool imaginable. I think that (or the rear handle one) would be the one electric saw I'd buy, but I'm also not a work climber so I wouldn't be using it in a tree most of the time.

    Rechargable Headlamps?

    It's a bit stronger than your average high beam. Modern LED technology is amazing, Fenix makes a flashlight that makes 11000! Lumen. The brightest bike lights available make about 8000.

    Rechargable Headlamps?

    Rechargable Headlamps?

    I have a Fenix HP25R and a Fenix HM50R. The HP25R is nice, it has a 400 lumen 180° floodlight which lets you work without even thinking about where you point the light, and a 1000 Lumen spotlight which has a very good range. It's 18650 Cell lasts a long time (3h on the highest setting) and can...

    New member with a question about 3-1 climbing rig

    I too recommend either using a ropewalker system with a simple 2:1 MRS system, or a RAD system with a Petzl Rig/ID. The MRS ropewalker is the more efficient one, but it's also harder/more expensive to set up. RADs is nice and easy to use, but it's also pretty inefficient. You can find some good...

    Rock climbing study- Please help!

    I'd like to help you, but this is a tree climbing forum. Most people here are professional arborists, or recreational tree climbers. climbers I dont climb on rock, and I think there aren't many here that do. Trees dont have holds, so tree climbing is mostly rope ascension, we use a lot of gear...

    Not tightly woven? I guess you are talking about braided paracord then, this is the cord I'd buy as paracord: Tightly woven sheath, strong core. Pretty good abrasion resistance.

    @Bango Skank Fishing line seems interesting, I'll buy myself a roll of it and test it out, I'll also have to see what strength works best though. An interesting thing I've found is that I can get cheap braided cord that is branded as "paracord", but resembles the dacron cord above, or I can get...

    How Small a Diameter is Safe to Climb High (Conifier)

    You are quiet lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you see it : D ) to be living near it then, I'd love to be able to visit one regularly.
