    Chipper winch line protection

    I like the idea and had considered it but I imagine we'd jacking up peoples driveways, sidewalks, lawns, and the road in the process.

    Chipper winch line protection

    I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a creative solution to protecting the first few feet of the chipper winch line. I work for a municipality so we drag a lot of brush/logs across pavement and sidewalks. This results in the line getting frayed relatively quickly and failing. Not a big deal...

    Arborist Technician. Burlington, Vt

    Much like throughout the country cost of living has increased. Especially in comparison to almost 20 years ago. We do receive an annual COL adjustment to our pay.

    Thanks for the replies guys. I work for a municipality and through GIS was able to create a survey that's accessible through the related app. Should streamline the process.

    digital pre-job brief

    Trying to formalize and record our pre-job briefs. As of now, I came up with a form that I then laminated so it can be reused. However that makes recording it difficult, short of taking a picture of it. I'd like to avoid a paper form due to clutter/lost paperwork. If possible I'd like to find an...

    New WA climber looking for tips on navigating slow season

    I'm in Vermont so I found myself in the same boat come winter, luckily I now work for a municipality so I'm employed year round. Anyways, I didn't spend much time looking for tree related work mostly cause I had bills to pay and small jobs here and there wasn't going to get it done. I looked...

    New eye splice on existing rope

    So I've got a hank of Yale Aztec that I've been climbing on for about a year. I was always told to not get an eye splice on both ends due to milking. I'd really like to switch ends, which I believe is recommended by ANSI anyways? So my question is, can I send the hank back to treestuff and have...

    Making your own chains

    What is everyone's opinion on the feasibility and affordability of making your own chains? Is it worthwhile or just easier to buy pre-made chains. Working for a municipality the driving factor is cost. A majority of our saws have the same gauge and pitch so we could in theory buy one reel of the...

    Planner Gladiator ventilation pants

    I bought a pair (in obnoxious bright blue) a few months ago after my Ventilations wore out. Didn't realize the size difference between the two because I ordered the same size. Was all stoked for my fancy new blue saw pants to show up and when they did I could barely fit the damn things around my...

    Fear / Hesistancy with Lift / Bucket

    I've been using buckets a lot for the past 4 years and I still sometimes get that tingle in my guts for a hot second when I've got both booms fully extended 75'. It's like my mind is screaming "this fucking thing is going to tip over!" I've also worked from and reached places I didn't think were...

    Rookie mistake

    I've got a good one from a couple weeks ago. Out on the end of a leaning boxelder. Holding the top with my left hand, handsawing the shit out of it with my right. Like trying to cut through it as quick as possible. Fully aware that my left forearm was in danger, I've tagged myself before with a...

    While I'm thinking about it. I wonder how well that drone would perform if it was windy
