I feel like this is kind of a dumb question, but having been in the south for the last 15 years has made me pretty unaccustomed to cold weather. Additionally I’ve never really climbed or worked in consistently below freezing temperatures or with snow
Anyone have any tips or suggestions for...
What are you buying this year?
I’m a guppy right now so my sights are low.
I’m toying with a few upgrades and add ons here, starting with the most reasonable
Milwaukee power pole
395
Big shot, new saddle
Dump truck
Grapple truck
Wow the oaks are in major decline around here, especially the red oaks.
I found this article that details the complex fairly well

Does anyone have any additional insights?
Does anyone have a portawrap, maasdam, or gently used rings they would like to part with?
Pm me with details
Cash or trade. I have a nearly new hank of drenaline (150’) with a splife eye for trade
I got alpha gal
Not so bad in the grand scheme but…
i had a lot of bites earlier this year. I’m thankful I’m negative for Lyme. I need to change my insect repellent regiment
Anybody else pick this one up?
Any interest in this item? I’m open to offers
Never been used, some scuffs from riding in the gear bag
Hand spliced oceans 8m cord
About 24” long
Smc small ring, 32 kn rating
I had a questionable TIP that I set from the ground yesterday. I hung on it, did some bounces. It was very bouncy- no bottom. I called for another climber to hang on it with me and we sheared the limb . I was close to climbing and working off that!
What’s the best tree related deal you’ve made?
Could be sentimental,
Cash value,
Trade work for item
Etc
Today I traded a bit of deadwooding on a big white oak for a canoe, gotta love a good barter!
Or… what’s the worst deal you’ve made?
I’ve been base tying a few of tall pines lately and my ropes are too short for the task. Clearly I could use a longer rope, but in a pinch what is your “ best” option for tying two climb lines together?
got a limerick here:
That thing on my wood is humongous
I’m sure there are more among us
An unusual polypore
And puffballs both born from spore
Those innante and beloved known as fungus
Any body else have any they want to share?
I’m curious has anyone tried using a leather cambium saver or Dan house rope sleeve for rigging?
The specific application I’m thinking about is in hanging trees where all the work is done on the ground and a rope sleeve would be an easy setup
