    Camp Turbo Right Foot Ascender

    Ahoy! selling my great condition footie. I've used it 10-15 times, light climbing. Great ascender, but not for me. It wasn't working very well with my HAAS system, rope pops out. It's a little dirty, but barely used. I bought a CT instead, like it way more for my style. $55, shipping included Pete

    Anthracnose on valley oak?

    Ahoy! i'm looking at a young valley oak, 40 feet tall, growing in Oakland, CA. It is only getting bigger. Tips of twigs blighted throughout, drops leaves constantly in season. PITA. HO would treat it if he could, but I don't think treatment has a great chance of success due to the size of the...

    Pruning/cabling now vs pine pitch canker risk?

    ahoy Buzz, went and looked at a client's tree today. They call it a coastal pine, but I think it may be a japanese black pine. I haven't ever ID'ed it. Anyhow, multi-stemmed, stems too long w/o good lower branches to ever cut back to due to many pruning decisions taken long before my time...

    Cali C0ntractors license?

    ARS Long Reach Pruner

    Allow me to Rave about the ARS Powerful Long Reach Pruner 180L-2.1 AKA Pole Snips: I've had this in the toolkit for a long while. 7 ft long, nice and light and strong. 1/2 capacity, though I usually stay smaller with it. The blade turns 180 degrees while the handle stays steady in the hand...

    Spliced eye on SRT line?

    So now that I done drunk the treebuzz SRT RopeWrench working kool-aid, I have 2 climbing ropes with spliced eyes on the end. I never use the eyes any more except to sometimes pull the line into the tree with the throwline. I can only thread the RW onto the end with no eye on it of course, which...

    snow weight on limbs video

    From the Lake Tahoe area, this is a time lapse video taken by some random dude which records the snows of this past March. I think that the most interesting part is watching the branches go up and down with the snow weight - lots of movement! the snow really comes about 2/3 of the way though...

    quercus agrifolia crud?

    HI, I have seen this in a couple of coast live oaks i do things for in Oakland, CA. This one tree in particular has quite a bit of this sort of thing. Lesions (?) on smaller branches, only some of which have this webby growth on it. Most don't. The branches seems fine and keep on growing out...
