    Tree failure, while I was climbing it.

    Also, because this tree was small, I didn't take it seriously. That was a big mistake. Even a relatively small tree can cause great harm to a climber.

    Tree failure, while I was climbing it.

    You have big enough trees where you are at that 100ft is small? I mean, sure you can have a skinny little 100 ft locust or evergreen growing in a stand where they are all reaching for light, but the big trees around here are mostly oaks and maples where a 90 ft tall tree can have an equal spread...

    Being Okay with Turning Down a Job

    By the way, my crane sub is also a small tree service owner. He brings us in on jobs occationally, but we bring him in to help us more often. Always just pay each other what ever our day rate is.

    Being Okay with Turning Down a Job

    Before I started my own company, I worked for three different companies who had Crane and bucket trucks and did large and difficult removals on a regular basis. Once I had a couple years climbing experience, I was the guy who did most of the hard climbs in technical rigging to. So because of...

    I'm planning on 20 - 30 shirts to start, but I would like printing on the front and back. I'll check that out, Arborwear does make some nice stuff.

    Call to regulation pros/cons...

    This is wrong on so many levels. If that is totally accurate, that guy needs to loose his job, because he is not doing it, and putting people at unnecessary risk. I've seen enough dead ash just falling apart. He seriously said the city was not planning to remove the dead trees? Where they just...

    Where do you get company tee shirts from?

    My partner got a quote from custom ink for $18 each on light weight shirts. Seems high to me.

    Throw line

    I like the dynaglide. I meet a guy a couple weekends ago that was using stiff line. It's apparently only available in Europe. Anybody ever use that? I didn't look at it too closely, but now I wish I had. He really likes it. I gotta admit, I like the notch bags.

    Looking for a climber in Pittsburgh, PA

    We are a small but growing company looking to bring in a full time climber. I am looking for a dedicated tree worker who loves this work, just as I do. It is my goal to be a company who is at the top of the list for quality and saftey. At least some experience is needed, as in enough to know...

    Call to regulation pros/cons...

    There is very little to no cross over between residential/urban, and even municipal with line trimming in my area. The companies that do, such as Davey, have separate divisions of their company. How separate, I don't know.

    Call to regulation pros/cons...

    I am not a certified arborist. I plan to get my certification soon. However, 99% of my customers don't even know what one is. I learned initially from people who most on this forum would call hacks, and grew from there, eventually working for some companies who were better than most in my area...
