    January TCIA feat. The Buzz and Mark Chisholm

    There's a lot of wisdom in the discussions here - that's why I read all I can. I think it's great to give the wisdom here a larger audience.

    I had a challenge Friday. It was an 80' tulip poplar leaning over a power drop and near the house. I couldn't pull it backwards because of other trees in the way. I didn't feel comfortable climbing it high enough to rig pieces short enough to clear power cable. After a lot of scratching my head...

    Rigging ring as primary rigging point for negative rigging.

    Here's a physical (physics) observation about double rings. They don't accomplish what they are advertised to do. I understand the reason for using double rings is to increase the bend radius so there's less internal stress in the rope. As I look at the double rings, I don't think they actually...

    Money & Time

    Ah, a philosophical question! And the oldest answer we have is that Adam was created and placed in a garden for him to work. Day one - work. Purpose - subdue the earth. Such a huge task that it requires community and civilization to accomplish. It requires free time, not just survival. Work...

    Logos, branding, shirts, etc.

    Pretty much word of mouth here - no advertising. A couple jobs came from Facebook or Google. But I'm just part-time so I don't have the same pressure many experience. The logo makes people smile. My conversation and my estimates are in the format of PROBLEMS, SOLUTIONS, then details like clean...

    Anyone notice an increase in scam leads / calls / messages recently?

    Over the past 18 months - 5 scams. Two required a lot of time before I realized. Now for every inquiry I check online records to verify property owners and I check Zillow to see lot lines.

    Before ‘SPAM’

    Backpacking in the Philippines, stopped at a ‘restaurant’ (far from electricity). Ordered pizza. The toppings were Spam and eggs.

    Selling a ton of gear

    I texted him, interested in the Rope Jack, 2 rope bags, and the continuous sling. The Rope Jack was already taken. I didn't take the bags and sling because the shipping would be too much for the inexpensive items alone.

    Removing trees that others were hurt in

    I finished a tree once, not after the end of a life, but the end of a career. A helicopter flew overhead and I went to see what was happening. It was a life flight, landing in a cul-de-sac down the hill from my house. I watched while neighbors gathered to see what was happening. One told me that...

    Today....

    Yesterday was a challenge - that ended successfully. It was a 30-inch DBH 100-foot tulip poplar with a hard back and side lean that needed to be pulled over. It's the one in the picture with the stem covered in vines. The stem landed suspended on the stump in the third picture. It required...

    Blue 32!

    I thought the 5400# standard was that high because they know that any knot will reduce that, and many splices as well. When I read the info sheet I assumed they were bragging that their patent-pending splice was so small, yet still had such great strength.
