    IS THE MONKEY BEAVER DEAD ?

    I can't seem to find a MB saddle? I know New Tribe are experiencing technical difficulties due to a fire, but damn! You'd think they would have built up some stock? I tried Wesspur but they don't even list the MB ? WTF!

    Captain hook to the rescue!

    Today I was in a really tall skinny fir tree, another tree that is marked for death was 25 feet away. I decided it would be a good idea to hang the top of the tree I was in, in the adjacent tree to reduce the chance of my tree failing and killing me. The other tree had not been limbed yet and...

    What pants do you like for climbing with saw?

    I know this is quite variable, but in the heat of summer I often wear track pants to climb because of flexibility and sweating balls in chainsaw pants. Is there a pair that stretches and has good ventilation or is cool? It’s hard to climb and work hard in 40c temps! But if I only worked on cool...

    Name this Knot

    I was sitting on the couch today watching TV with a sore throat. Thought I’d mess around with a rope and tie a few knots. I stumbled across this surprisingly easy knot for joining 2 ropes of similar diameter. Haven’t yanked it with a truck yet to discover it’s unlocking properties, but given...

    Zip line slings

    Ok so I’ve been using tubular webbing with tape knots and locking beeners for years now but after seeing what’s being offered for sale, I decided I liked the idea but I wanted to make my own. I then thought, which is better - cord or webbing? After testin the two for grip, ease of use, and...

    Attention to detail with your cuts!

    Rico said I brought up a good point, that being that many of us spend a lot of time being gear sluts. Some of you may be new to the sport of tree work and others seasoned pros. I consider myself fortunate to have worked with seasoned pros for many years before I took up residential tree...

    Most comfortable and versatile SRT harness with chest/shoulder straps

    Wondering what you guys are rocking, because mine is getting a bit beat up. And I know the tech changes faster than diapers on a new born. So any advice would be appreciated. I want a fully kitted out SRT harness that is posture friendly for a 54 year old stubborn climber. All opinion are welcome!

    Unicender with drum installed

    Ok so I installed the drum on the unicender, it works much nicer with than without. My first observation is the (soft lock) feature is actually a safer mode than a normally loaded hang. The reason I say this is if a branch or some other heavy thing were to strike the top of the loaded device in...

    Brutal tree in roasting heat!

    The largest tree in the entire area, a landmark tree with a huge dead top! Electrical box 4 feet from butt, buildings all around. And some branches were torso sized and 35 feet long. I was blown out of the tree on my first day. I achieved 100’ or so and strong afternoon winds came up. We...

    Modded saw with dull chains!

    Don't you love that 6 am Saturday logging show 100 yards up the road, with an idiot and his modded saw, taking what seems like an eternity to buck a 20 inch tree into firewood? A healthy tree with a fine mist of powder and steam coming out of a trench burned into it. I offer him a steak knife...

    New helmets with Sena

    We used our new helmets with the Sena comms system all week, man that's slick! I can send a guy down the block to the truck and be up a tree and tell him in a normal voice to grab a rescue 8. They do last all day and the only issue we had was a unit not turning on. It was quickly resolved by...

    Redemption

    We were contracted to do a rush removal of 3 x 90 conifers in a luxury resort trailer park- tin can alley I call it! We completed the mission on schedule and cleaned the lot nice and shiny. I phoned the client and said were done and how would you like to pay? He said he’d leave cash at the...

    BID THAT TREE !

    Just a funny thought I had doing an estimate today... What if people posted their jobs and had others estimate them? Good practice, great for new guys to get an idea of what’s involved in a bid. Tell me what y’all think about it?
