    I've named my telescopic reach tool...

    Following up on this post, I've used some small dia. paracord and a little metal jewelry claw to keep all the inner telescope tubes from extending. The paracord and clip keep the tool retracted when not in use. Unlike my trusty old Sidekick, this 'cable reach' solution does NOT lock closed...

    Undercutting hung up trees

    This leaner is a bit bigger than it looks in the pic. The illiustration w/the green line REDIRECTED is what I SHOULD HAVE done. But I ran it straight down to my pulley system. Far away, which I thought would soften the angle enuff - but no. Eventually I realized the angle was too oblique...

    Best choice for hardy visual barrier/privacy screen in Northeast PA?

    Best choice for hardy visual barrier/privacy screen in Northeast PA? A friend of mine would like to block out a very rude 'neighbor' in back of his property. This guy has parked (and left to rot) an fugly, dead box truck right along the rear of the property line. It's a regular neighborhood...

    I totes McGoats appreciate this info on the MonkeyBeaver. Don't kno this one. it seems I am obliged to check it out, cause my bestie's 4 yr old grandaughter Sadie Mayhem has been trained (by her pop-pop) to call me MONKEYBUTT. :rolleyes: always like to know what's the haps in the world of...

    Did TuffBurger actually DISCONTINUE the dual-rope bridge on TreeMotion?

    It's close. But the Essential doesn't even have a snap on the cinch. Really? for $500?? Sounds like SHRINKflation to me. That's a little too 'cheap-out' for me there, Mr. TuffyBerg. One of my initial complaints about TreeMotion was the waist belt loses it's sizing. I often have to...

    Climbing a tall tree with shorter rope(s)…

    Here's one way it can be done... when Tim Kovar and Tree Climbing Planet hosted their guided climb near SantaCruz in spring 2022, he installed his 11mm SRT lines this way. (pictured) Fixed loop choke w/something like a grapevine backup, and some elements of a constrictor hitch. These lines...

    Did TuffBurger actually DISCONTINUE the dual-rope bridge on TreeMotion?

    TY for showing me ArbSession As for the caution, always love how we look out for each other here. (y) But I don't see how. If I twist, (ha! sorry, WHEN...) the rope bridge mitigates lateral movement by... being made of rope. Plus, I only 150lb. I'm not gonna violate that structure anytime...

    Did TuffBurger actually DISCONTINUE the dual-rope bridge on TreeMotion?

    LMFAO!!!! Yeah, when you visit their website you can see, they just a wee company, struggling to survive. :rolleyes: And, that's xtra hilarious to me cause they put the same expensive para-grade snaps on both leg cuffs as on the waist cinch. Both of which i NEVER use. i simply step thru...

    Did TuffBurger actually DISCONTINUE the dual-rope bridge on TreeMotion?

    Stihl MS194T powerhead, no oil for 2nd time now

    This problem 'fixed itself'. And here I thought that kind of thing was only a myth. I took the bar off, all ready to hit the oil groove w/air, and when I started it up, the oil was pumping forth. This in contrast to running the powerhead for several mins the day before, at different RPMs, and...

    Stihl MS194T powerhead, no oil for 2nd time now

    I've posted about this before, in this thread: https://www.treebuzz.com/forum/threads/theft-all-4-of-my-saws.46501/#post-720960 I called the shop and asked if blowing some compressed air thru the tank, maybe with some kind of makeshift rubber stopper w/hole in center, might help. The lead tech...

    I've named my telescopic reach tool...

    Here's a retrofit I did to that reach tool, made for wires, that I got as a backup to Christina Reachy. Even the largest hook available to order as an accessory for that telescopic from CABLEORGANIZER.COM was not appropriate. The inside of the hook has serrations, which might possibly keep a...

    new Stihl tree saw already cost me for repairs (also, M-Tronic tech tip)

    Thanks Reach! That's a nice cool mist of fire suppressing wisdom on my friction inducing frustration! It IS a good saw. The price is a little LuLu, but then again, so is just about everything right now. Except for HotWheelz. I saw a thing onna news. But prolly just touching a...

    new Stihl tree saw already cost me for repairs (also, M-Tronic tech tip)

    i love that you brought up Battery Jets. I have a little bit o' absolutely unfounded, unverified, personally paranoid conspiracy theory rhetoric for you all. Okay class, gather round... Iiiiiiiiiiiiii think... the reason Y the US gov't is pushing SO hard for EV's, is cause the...

    new Stihl tree saw already cost me for repairs (also, M-Tronic tech tip)

    well, of course, it's ALWAYS the way right... since it was a very local job, only a 10min ride, i fig'd i'd only take 1 tree saw and a MS250 18" for felling. if i traverse far, of course i go redundant w/saws. but the 201T had never given me reason to doubt it (in all my LONG 8 months of...
