    Part 2 link in comments Posted a few, simple shorts and a tree folding video on my yt channel @southsoundtree1 I was hoping to just use the trigger to get this alder down, but needed a bit more gear and technique.

    Texting a business card

    I get a lot of people calling on referral. If I haven't given them a physical business card and they haven't looked at my website, they don't know all we do. Someone recently said they didn't know we did climbing jobs and asked us to come handle something as their first choice of...

    Glaciertek.com Coolvests

    Anyone wear a down vest when it's cold? Same idea. Recharges in a cooler. 3 sets for 2 people works really well. 2 sets per person is the Best. One set... would you cooldown for a while, even if you have to take a break from the cool for 30 minutes ( normal working conditions)? Can't...

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    How do you describe the various amounts of wraps? Re-direct sling on the top of the POW for minimum friction...poor pic. We work on very uneven ground so preventing losing a 1/2 wrap over a fairlead where the rope does a partial 180⁰ around the POW top, ring instead of the barrel, lockup...

    Root Collar Excavation/ Stem-girdling Root Pruning thread

    Just a little basic, manual work to start. 2 wheelbarrow loads of soil from the easiest 20% of the circumference. I found a plastic plant tag at sidewalk level, 8" +/- down from the built-up soil and mulch. So far, almost no roots where there are problematic. I'm looking forward to an air...

    Bored backcuts/ anti-barberchair/ anti-fiber pull Thread

    Anything and Everything related...Go! This was just a spur of the moment video on a 27 hazard / future problem tree removal job. We used bored-back cuts and Coos Bays for 16 alders. No chaining/ binding. A little splitting in my apprentice... she was new to bored/ slanted backcuts and CBs...

    Neurodiversity thread

    @evo didn't you start a thread? I can't find it. Olympia is a powerful magnet for neurodiversity. ADHDers, AudhDHDers, autistics flock to The Evergreen State College. Many stayed in Olympia, since the late 1960 or early 70s increasing the genetic pool, to my unconfirmed reasoning. I'm...

    Spiral grain

    What do you know? Observe? Consider about spiral grain? I saw a conifer near Mt. St. Helens, laying in Coldwater lake, fallen post-explosion. There was a cavity on the side. There was straight grain inside with a shell of spiral on the outside. Beware stumpshot and spiral grain.

    Eppel Epple hook pics

    I think someone recently asked for pics. I happened across it, thinning or gear from the truck. Are three different hooks in the truck too many hooks?

    Tree video drama

    It's weird. I just saw another "oh, I shoulda..." video by the same YTer who had screwed up many jobs. Poor judgment and unprepared. "Shoulda put a rope in it" instead of trying to push a big top...seems like "I shoulda been prepared with wedges and pounder and not relied on groundworkers to...

    Morbark TW-280PHB chipper

    I see that @flyingmosstreen has this chipper, too. I ran a pile of brush through my newly aquired demo machine with 46 hours of use. So far, so good. More machine-feedable than I would have guessed. Powerful at 59hp. Compact and lightweight.
