    Satellite communications.

    Secondary tie-in for spurring: choked split-tail climbing line -OR- running bowline -OR- ??

    I worked for a company that required you climb with a friction hitch around the tree as you flipped up. You had to be able to gaff out and let go at the sound of a whistle. It can be done with practice. I always thought it was over kill my self. If your not running a saw why do you feel you need...

    How many actual line clearance trimmers on site

    I have years of experience as an Arborist, but only in the last 90 days doing line work in Calif. Don't know how other places do it but our work orders spell out what we do to the trees with little regard to the property owner. If the work order says top it below the lines its gets topped. If it...

    Notch extending pole saw.

    I started doing production line clearance. I'm not certed but we maintan our MAD. Lots of times I could finish a tree if I had a 20 ft polesaw. I wouldn't use a aluminum pole saw like a silky for obvious reasons, and the foam filled poles issued are to flimsy at 20 ft, but Notch makes a...

    Info on Eco-tree top Tourism.

    Are there places like in the north west, or Costa Rica, that offers non-climbers an Opportunity to, let say wraptor up a tree and spend the night. In a treepi or something a little more high end. If not could it be done safely? Just an idea kicking around in my head. Thanks for any feed back.

    Favorite Come-Along

    I worked for a company that issued maasdams to use for pulling over bug trees. Though kind of slow they worked ok, but if put under a lot of stress they can slip. I personally saw a near Catastrophic Accident when one slipped while under a servere load. I think I'd stick with a 5 to 1 over a...
