    Huge sale

    I hear you, but when I first clicked on his name, it also showed only 5 messages, which is regularly enough a red flag. Some of the more advanced scammers open accounts on tons of sites for later use, when enough time has passed to help them look legit. I'm not bothered by your grtting offended...

    Huge sale

    I must not have been here the day we stopped looking out for each other... Maybe we'll just pretend that didn't happen and keep lookin' out for our friends if it doesn't bother you too much.

    I didn't look very hard at the rope, but I see it's way different. That's pretty interesting, if not a little heavy. I'm not always bothered by that so you've got me curious to try it out.

    Shadow Puppets???

    What the actual fuck?! What an incredibly frustrating thing to read. I'm all for playful shenanigans in the right context, but you just don't "fuck around" with heavy equipment.

    Fruit tree holding on by a thread, client wants to get another year out of it. Thoughts?

    I have a weeping blue atlas cedar- very different tree type I know, but follow me for a sec- and I have been weening it off supplemental water for many years, and this year, I thought it should be established well enough to cut it off from direct water. There are enough irrigated plantings up...

    Switching between SRS & MRS....

    There is definitely a chance that you end up with some rope on rope action on retrieval after some jostling, more so with stiff ropes. I have looked at that idea, but it looked unstable giving it a few shakes.

    Arborist/ Climber job listing details--- your thoughts

    I've always felt that Brando was articulate, but some posts in the last several months have been absolutely stellar.

    Mike Goggia used to do that! I came back to working for him after a stint with another guy and he had a big deadwooding+removals job at a trailer park, and they were lifting my buddy up with the bobcat while I raced him on a ropewalker setup. I got setup faster and made it to my TIP way before...

    Switching between SRS & MRS....

    I knew there had to be a creative way to cinch an X-ring in there! I haven't gotten a cric yet, so it hadn't occurred to me, but does it do the one way spin thing as well?

    I hadn't thought about it in a good long while, but I used to do similar stupid shit when I was just getting comfortable with my first saw, a 550mk2, dismantling grey pines I had jackstrawed into piles before I knew how stupid that was to do. Man, the more I think about my first year and change...

    Before I had any ascenders, I put prusiks on each of my feet and had a chicane one my ZZ. I did that at a job interview, and it must have impressed the guy because he hired me, and we kept working together on and off for 5 years until I moved.

    Shagbark Hickory preservation

    I am not the OP, but I don't recall any pre construction documentation. Yea, at that size I really doubt they grew in the last two years.

    Shagbark Hickory preservation

    I agree that it looks like it’s been buried a good while. That has me worried that this decline has been a long time coming. What about air sparing a drainage trench and installing a French drain?
