    Pics Load Improperly

    Does anyone know why pics load on their side instead of correctly? All my pics load rotated clockwise and I can't find any way to change it.

    Fox Harness by Reasy Climbing

    Trying to post a quick review video but it's got me beat. If you're on Facebook or Insta, check it out. What I will say is this feels like an old school saddle with a weight of new school. I feel like I'm wearing something with substance. All I've climbed in was a Crepe for about 20 minutes...

    The Everyday Arborist Podcast

    Subcontracting Opportunity

    I wanted to throw out the idea of traveling for larger projects. I know all the storm work is done but I'm sure there's plenty of storm related work where a grapplesaw crane would be beneficial. I'm available for projects and would be happy to put together a price for a 5 to 7 day work period...

    This Was Crazy

    Curious what thoughts are on this. Can’t say I’ve seen all this going on at one time. From a distance I thought it was a fire but it wasn’t. Next thought was dumped chemicals but no way to verify that under the circumstances. Just unfamiliar to me. Curious what the experts think.

    First Eagle Banding Day Yorktown Virginia

    First day of Eagle banding this year. Was along the York River in Yorktown Virginia. Had 3 nests I've never done before. Tall trees and not the easiest access. One I almost aborted but found a trap door on the back side they left me. Not much for canopy overhead. Found a skull from a chick...

    Decision Point Approaches

    It's becoming crystal clear the time for decisions is closing in a breakneck speed. I had spent the majority of last year making sure I had funds to cover the business expenses for a while in case things slowed down. All the while I never really thought (A) it would slow down (B) I would have...

    Aerial Recue Device

    So Petzl has the Roller Coaster. Does anybody remember a video of a guy who was a firefighter who had invented a device that sat on top of a spar for a sort of fair lead for doing a spar rescue. The video had him working on a pole. He was a big guy. Maybe a northern type like Michigan. I...

    My New Favorite Tree

    I found this today. I’m working on permission to score it and maybe get those vines out as an excuse to climb it. Those lower branches are something I don’t see on Oaks. Such an interesting growth pattern. I have a video but the buzz never lets me post a video.

    Vision Changes and Issues Connected to Them

    Just a little note to see if anyone has experienced any of the similar issues. SO I've been operating the crane for the last 5 years. Occasionally climb, almost never fell trees anymore. Work is super slow so I worked with one of my good customers doing a land clearing job. I spent the day...
