    TCIA Tailgate Safety Manual.

    Yes and No. A lot of safety measures/ safety culture reduce the likelihood of something hitting something against their head. Call and Respond reduces Struck-by's, the leading cause of death since they beat the Don't Get Electrocuted book so hard. Electrocutions went down. Struck-by's didn't go...

    Latest helmet comms

    Muting the mic would be a super great feature. Obviously, covering one's microphone is plenty possible. Having the habit of clicking the mic in/ out would avoid an employee starting a loud conversation with a customer in the distance and right in my ear while I'm in the middle of something...

    Neurodiversity thread

    How many autistic people and neurodiversity people do you work with? Do you know about verbal language accessibility/ inaccessibility for ND people? Hearing ,"It's not the thing" is hard for me to clearly and inambiguously understand what thing they are not talking about. If you don't...

    Neurodiversity thread

    Mick, I've had a bunch of good employees. They generally have understood chain of command, protocols, safety procedures, can absorb training, etc. A guy went from my crew to a HotShot Wildfire firefighting crew (federal gov't job that's hard to get). One guy owns his own company, locally. He...

    Side note: I soak my mulch in the wheelbarrow when planting if it's dry.

    San Jose aerial rescue

    Have your own SRS system and self-rescue at the first sign of a problem. I do 99% of cutting on SRS. My rope never needs to move. It could have a 1000 pound log pinning it, and it wouldn't affect bailing out. Most trees can be bailed from in a few seconds. I had a climber feel iffy...

    New Promo Video!

    Great! Chaps at the chipper at the end, less than ideal, better than no leg pro. People say dollars then people. Personal safety/ health is way more important than property damage. The military/ gov't talks about billions of dollars first, then the lives lost, without mention of shattered...

    Neurodiversity thread

    @evo didn't you start a thread? I can't find it. Olympia is a powerful magnet for neurodiversity. ADHDers, AudhDHDers, autistics flock to The Evergreen State College. Many stayed in Olympia, since the late 1960 or early 70s increasing the genetic pool, to my unconfirmed reasoning. I'm...

    Cable hardware question

    New products to installers with some working and some not makes me wonder if the are correctly sized/ positioned/ tightened. I had trouble with having 5/16" cable and 3/8s WG. Took the correct size to grip. Not a easy to get to bite, all the same. The variable of tightness is a problem...

    Am I going a little overboard with this?

    Both anxious and maybe reasonable. That's an anxiety issue that could likely benefit from support. Best wishes! I know many people with anxiety disorders. It's real. It's manageable.

    I'm growing the PHC side of my business. How can I better utilize my one-ton service truck?

    Air spading has little competition. RCX and SGRs abound. I'm going to be getting one.

    Do you ever have the occasional customer service experience like this?

    Thankfully, there are podcasts. How about a good ebike?

    Someone please design an industrial level version of the fiskar telescoping pole pruner

    Just a related tool...Baby Bear pole chainsaw. I picked up the extension shaft the other day for a little reacher-zipper that's quick and light. I use the gta 26 for orchards and little work. https://www.stihlusa.com/en/ap/gta-26-extension-1027528 I have the Kombi chainsaw attachment and...
