Have been climbing on the bdb with elongated bollard now for a few years. Almost exclusively on Yale bifrost. The other day it was quite hot out. But it was the first and only time I have had slippage on descent. There is decent wear on the lower bollard and maybe it is time to flip to the other...
It’s also easier in my head to orient the pins of the quickies away from the trunk when I have two aligned. And no fear of weird twisting once you send it up!
I’ve got my hands on the kbnest recently and that thing is pretty slick. No need to isolate. Ascend on a base tie and advance and build...
I’m just going to leave this here. Haha I’ve posted this before but it’s worth a repost. I use this quite a bit. It’s so nice to be able to attach midline on both sides. You could put a small shackle on for a soft retrieval if wanted. But it usually just either comes down the retrieval side of...
I have a QR code on my card that takes people to my website. At least if they take a picture from a friend who has the card. It takes them to the website and they submit a request for a quote from there.
Can’t wait for the day when I can afford a mt100 and bmg combo. Soon enough.
My Chinese mini skid just got an upgrade with the bucket grapple on the cheap.
Ha! Dealer still has it! They said it was a speed sensor on the fly wheel. They were waiting on that part to get through customs and then install and run tests. That was last week. Haven’t heard anything since. And I’m in no hurry as they gave me the loaner at no cost… minus my bump in insurance...
I received an email saying they have received my device and are shipping one out that is supposed to arrive in two days! Very speedy via dhl. They said they’re sending this new device while they work on a diagnosis of my current device. Which is sort of wild. But I’ll take it.
Had some crazy wind events in the last couple days. The calls, all for failed stems on sugar maples. The last two were almost identical pictures. Codom stems with lots of included bark. One fell on the house with minimal damage. I was able to clean that up in a couple hours. The other will take...
Ya and honestly for it to wear out to have bits replaced is wild. It barely shows any signs of wear. These are the pictures I sent them. Never bombed out of a tree on it. Not really used in sappy trees ever even. Freshly cleaned and oiled (I used krown). Wondering if it’s a fully new unit with...
And on that note haha, hope everybody has been enjoying theirs. I just had mine picked up by DHL today to be sent in to ISC. Hopefully it’s a reasonable turnaround.
I received a reply from ISC support. They’re going to take me device back and do something with it. Hopefully magic. I donno. I’ll keep everyone apprised as I hear more!
I think David Attenborough did a doc on how wildlife returned to cities after “lockdown” and just those couple weeks of less people being outside and what that looked like. Pretty cool maybe bezos prime or netflayx ?
Pretty cool article

Sounds like we need a humanity collapse and the trees will be just fine haha
Hmm that’s weird. Can you take a picture of your tank? I feel like we have the same chipper but with very slight variations like the exhaust placement. And maybe the tank? I wish it had a gauge.
Haha thank you. All is good here! 4 month old baby doesn’t leave much time to complete projects! But I also wanted to make sure I could fit under it before I added another 200lbs of corrugated metal roof on top, had to add a bunch of height to make it work!
Annnnd the loaner is a bit longer...
