We're back to island work at the moment, doing a few mile hike with saws etc. Any recommendations on msr style bottles for gas and bar oil? Where do you find them, and any brand preferences?
So you all know about collective nouns like a murder of crows or pride of lions- I was walking with a friend who asked- is there a name for groups of a particular type of tree?
would love to hear what yall can come up with for collective nouns for tree species or genera
here are few...
I think I've mentioned in other threads, I broke a toe a few years ago, and all the hiking boots I used to love are torture to wear. I've gone to foot shaped sneakers like Altra brand stuff, not a huge fan of barefoot stuff cause I still want some cushion
Has anyone found good foot shaped...
So I walked into the local stihl dealer today to pick up a replacement for my older mk1 550xp-
They had a ms261c in stock, lifted it up and was shocked that it had a really cheapo feeling plastic front handle-
Is that just how stihl is selling an almost 700$ saw now? Do they make smaller...
Kinda a long shot but anyone here have a lightly used Medium or Large Ergovation saddle they don't like? I've got a 2018 treemotion from 2021 with very little use that I'm looking to trade-
Also will sell the treemotion and/or outright buy an ergo
Brand new never worn except to try on- I recently developed a hammer toe and these are just too narrow for my new feet -$225
Also- ART positioner 2 with swivel, maybe 5 climbs on it, probably moved less than 100 feet on rope. Just not my jam -$160
Old ISC strider for ascender, old but still...
I'm thinking to get a bloodstop pouch to fit in that neat little holder on my treemotion. Had a Wesspur order built, but called to ask about their "bloodstopper pouch". Apparently it just contains a normal compression bandage.
Does anyone know who sells a hemostatic gauze kit that fits on a...
Was pruning an apple tree in my own yard, with my brand new silky tsurugi 400. Hand slipped making a cut. Only thing that stopped the blade was the bone in my thumb!
I always joke about blooding in a new blade, but it's true for me. Happens once every time I change to a new blade. I think my...
I've been using ocean vectran 6mm as my lanyard adjuster for years, and my last bit is in need of retirement soon. Looking online I can't find any climbing hitch cord under 8mm. Anyone know why? Ansi change?
There are definitely sub 8mm yacht lines that meet the strength standards, but is...
Black arborwear cambium stretch jacket, no hood, size medium. Old company logo on right chest. Cuffs are worn, but otherwise in good shape
I ended up having to get a large, this has just been hanging in the closet for a few years. $40, or make an offer.
Went to Charleston SC last fall for some contract climbing with @Stankers. Everyone I met said as a tree guy, I had to see the Angel oak. Glad I made it, just an incredibly stunning tree. Longest branch is 187 feet long according to Wikipedia! Here's a pic attached. Thanks @djm for the sweet hat...
Doing some house cleaning, haven't had need of these things in a while.
Yale Imori Green 12 mm- $110
-It's about 145' with a tight eye splice that I made. Used a handful of times, pretty much new. Thought I'd like the fatter feeling line, turns out I don't.

I just got a Kask helmet here on tree bay with the new 3m ear muffs. Comfortable helmet, but the ear muffs don't do a thing, almost as loud with them down. Had this same problem on a coworkers kask I borrowed
Anyone else find this to be a problem? Any good solutions?
