So, my first set of spurs were the Climb Right aluminum spurs (yellow irons, tree gaffs, 1 screw with a t shaped interface) with Weaver leather t pads. I then upgraded the pads to the Climb Right aluminum pads with velcro straps, went from miserable to comfortable. Then I upgraded the lower...
I know this subject has been beat to death, but, I need to get another pair soon. I have owned the Pfanner Arborist (pre ventilators) and I had ordered the incorrect size, they were hot and fit poorly. I currently have the Francitals, and they fit wonderfully but I'm worried about thier...
So, it happened this past Friday, I completely severed the anchor leg of my basal tied climb line with a chainsaw while climbing and pruning a Maple SRT. I was very aware of my line being close to vertical piece of dead wood when I observed it's removal as my next move, however from the time I...
Does anyone here play competitive Football (Soccer in American)? I'm 33 and haven't missed a season since I was 6, love it! The beautiful game is as fun as climbing trees. Anyone else agree? Cheers!
Does anybody have a good source for heat shrink tubing that would make a good "stiffy"? Oceans, any help? What do you use on your whipple tethers? (if you don't mind sharing)
I had to replace the scored piston/ cylinder assembly in this saw. The replacement went perfect, and it started right up, but didnt idle perfectly. Since I didnt have a bar and chain on it I didnt do any carb adjustments that night. A few days later I put a bar and chain on it and tried some...
I have tried to replace the broken oil pump adjuster screw assembly twice now, after waiting 3 weeks to get the part from our dealer and another two weeks from an online dealer after I broke the first one while reinserting. The assembly is a smooth shank tapered tip insert with a spring that is...
New England Ropes\' Escalator
Page 21 of Tree Services magazine shows an add for the above rope but their website has no mention of it. Anybody who's been to a recent trade show get a look at this stuff? It looks like a response to the SRT movement, maybe not as bouncy as tachyon but also a...
You know how you're left with more cover than core when making eye to eye friction cords of 8mm beeline or Samson ultratech? I haven't tried it yet but I thought a good solution would be to make some locking brummel eye to eye of Allgear's tech chord and insert in a beeline cover. I know it...
I would love to find an article or video that describes in detail about the proper techniques used in sharpening square chain. Any leads?
I realize it's an art and is more difficult to do by hand and most pros regrind when necessary, but I am curious, so no discouraging response please.
Lost 20\' of a hank of Polydyne
We accidentally cut 20' off one end of our 150' hank of 5/8" polydyne the other day. After lowering a large top to the ground a bite of the rigging line got caught under part of the log and without knowing the groundsman bucked right through the line. SO now to...
Seems like a great price. Much simpler than the GRCS, Stein, or Hobbs, but it may be an effective mid range device between the GRCS and POW.
