Friends, I haven't been on here in years but the things I have learned here are priceless. I am giving a presentation on tree rigging and where the forces go. I am need of some old school simple rigging pictures and examples. I am working to search the site but hoping maybe the creation of...
So @Tr33Climb3r and I have been working on a new set of crane slings. Whilst the wesspur Quantum X slings are amazing they are not well suited to the thick bark cottonwood trees I deal with daily. The fibers pick easy and do not pull easy across the thick bark. I have used the amsteel II...
I know this is a repeat question but multiple search functions failed me. How are you guys tying into the lower block which a crane is running multiple part lines. I have multiple ideas just wanting to know what you guys have done over your many years of experience. Thanks

I have a reservation for Drury Hotels I am about to cancel due to the fact I am rooming with @deevo before I cancel this thing I would happily wait and time it so someone to could utilize it. It is a two queen room with the buffet and the whole ordeal. Just drop me a line and I will do what I...
I am quite good with climbing but lack a huge bit of knowledge with PHC. Now I need help with my crimson maple I planted at my own house. Pictures to follow.
There are some super small mushrooms growing around in the mulch as well. It has been a super wet spring and this tree was planted...
I just purchased a MCRS and I need a bit of adjustment help. I want the leg pads to stay lower and not try to remove my testicals. I really really like the back pad and the leg pads are nice just keep working their way to my crotch.
The winch is the official stein winch the bollard is made to exactly their specs by me. The only thing that may be different is I used a piece of sch40 pipe and all 3/16' steel and the side and back were both bend to match one another. Also the pipe is welded to back as well as the front. Hope...
I hope the very asking of this does not offend anyone as I am not trying to be cheap or steal from anyone. I am looking for a logo for my part time contract climb operation. Does anyone have a logo they own for their tree service that incorporates climbing or rigging or something of that...
I miss posted this up in general discussion if someone could delete it that would be great.
Sorry for bombarding you guys lately with a ton of questions. The education is just available nowhere else in the world really. So how much wind is too much. I am not looking for mile an hour rating...

Sorry for bombarding you guys lately with a ton of questions. The education is just available nowhere else in the world really. So how much wind is too much. I am not looking for mile an hour rating so much as something like when the tops are...
Been working on a huge spruce removal project. Work my way up Drt hooking a limb over me then removing what I call a round of limbs then repeat until I get to where I can blow the top. All the way along I have carried my hitch hiker ready to roll. When I get to where I can blow the top I set my...
How are you guys isolating branch as for pine/spruce/fir removals. Let me define, how do you get your climb line of just one limb or branch in these trees. I know this is a bit of a rookie question but one I have a struggled with for years. I don't want to just spike up and get to work even...
So I have changed my attachment points on my saddle. I used to use some licking shackles off of a butterfly and had them in the outside loop. Moved these new petzel rings outside of that on the same piece of webbing to get a wider bridge and more movement hopefully. What do you guys think? Is...
I have no idea what you guys use for frictions savers when ridding ABOVE the ball. I used to use an old bickingham steel ring 3' long friction saver. While it worked ok it did not work great. It tended to hang up just a bit on the spliced eye in my arbormaster rope further more it out my rope...
Does anyone have any study material they would be willing to LOAN me to study for my exam. I would be willing to put a deposit down to do so. I also would be willing to purchase said material if someone would just prefer to part with said material. Thanks
The title says it all what goes into your assessment of a dead tree that needs climbing. Type of tree, Bark condition, root base condition, ...... The list goes on what is your list of factors you care about? What is your rigging stand point on said trees.
I am looking for a crane company that is familiar with doing tree work in the above locations. I have a great company I like working with in Denver but there is just that they are there I am here and the drive time would cut into the profits pretty good. I am not opposed as they are great just...
