    Heart Rot in Bur Oak (pic heavy)

    So this happened last night: No wind, healthy canopy, no tip dieback. Tree has withstood countless high wind events over the years. A sounding mallet would have given a clue to the internal decay - but then what? The reason I ask is that there may be more and I'm wondering how to detect...

    Approved Mechanical Devices

    There are so many available now I think I need clarification on which are currently approved for ITCC use. The ITCC website doesn't show any recent advisories but reviewing all the old advisories we find some useful nuggets. I'll just start this as a list and replies can add or subtract from...

    Working alone?

    I'm having trouble finding any standards prohibiting someone from working solo. Let's say someone is out in the woods felling trees all by themselves - he has a cell phone and a truck parked out on the road but no other workers are nearby. Aside from being foolhardy is there a standard...

    Drayer!

    Awesome company to work with and order from. Just got a brand new Tree Austria 3.1 plus the new version suspenders for less than I would have paid from any of my favorite US suppliers including shipping from Germany! And the shipping only took FOUR DAYS to MN! The 3.1 was on sale for deep...

    How many hacks?

    I know this is a re-hash of a very old and used topic but I just gotta vent a little. Is there any other regulated industry in which 50%(?) (maybe more) of the companies and individuals involved seem to not realize or simply ignore the fact that we are indeed regulated? Yes we are regulated...

    What's this scam?

    Here's some crazy phishing emails I've received over the past two weeks: #1) "Hello this is smith, I will like to know if you do Tree service and do you accept credit card for payment?" #2) "Hello I'm Steven I will like to know if you do tree services, ground maintenance and lawn care services...

    How many this month?

    Man I can't even keep track of the fatalities we've had lately, how sad. I'm hoping some are double reported so three actually looks like five, but I've heard of at least two in MI, one out east and one in Cali, maybe more I just lost count. I think we'll be shocked to see Ball's calendar in TCI...

    New year, same old questions

    I have the great honor to be the Head Tech here in MN next month as I have decided to back off the trophy hunt and make room for other up and coming climbers. Besides I always over-exert on comp day and I don't wanna get an injury climbing for free and fun. I guess it's Geezer's time for me lol...

    Ropetek and Rock Exotica step up?

    And make a formal submission to the ITCC rules committee regarding safe use of the HitchHiker and Unicender in competitions. I'll be sending a quick note off to both but just wondering if this has been done, decided not to do, or just a general waste of my time, like stacking BBs in the wind.

    Good groundie seeking job in Nashville, TN

    Mike has been one of my favorite ropers for about four years now, always stays busy and anticipates the next move, works well unsupervised, shows up on time every day and can back up a chipper into a looooong driveway. He's following his girlfriend to TN (sucker) and looking for a real job...

    rescue gone wrong

    http://abc13.com/news/man-stuck-in-tree-in-porter-gets-leg-amputated/190409/ Obviously the news people may have distorted the facts, who knows, maybe the leg was so badly damaged that amputation was required anyway. But if I'm ever stuck under a log I pray that someone qualified will be able to...
