    Saddle Insurance...sort of...

    I pay about $500/year for Inland Marine coverage on all of my equipment. It covers saws, climbing, rigging, heavy equipment, and most other things. If it's lost, stolen, damaged in an accident, catches on fire, floods, etc. I'll get a check. The peace of mind is totally worth $500 to me.

    Co-Dom Removal risk vs. reward question

    From the picture and your description that appears to be a cabling and preservation job to me. I'd sell it as end weight reduction and put 1 or 2 3/4" Branch Saver cables in it to support it. The cables add support, and end weight reduction decreases weight from the point where it has the most...

    Husqvarna Battery blower. Anyone using it?

    I like mine a lot. It’s perfect for most small jobs. It’s also super nice to clean up with a quieter tool after running saws and a chipper all day.

    Portable Winch Worth the Purchase?

    I’m fortunate enough to be able to borrow a portable winch like the one you are looking at, when I need it. It is a huge labor and back saver. Yes, sometimes it can be done by hand quicker, but I would rather save my body. I’m just using it when working by myself, or in a team of two when doing...
