    BRAND NEW Logger heel, steel toe Red Wing Boots

    I have another pair so I have no need for these. Nor would I want to invest the money resoling brand new boots. Just looking to get these gone! Glad there sought after boots though!

    BRAND NEW Logger heel, steel toe Red Wing Boots

    selling a pair of brand new, never seen a day of work, Red wings. Boots are 9" tall with steel toe and logger heel. All black leather, men's size 10. Given to me as a gift, but Im not a fan of the tall heeled boots, never have been. People see "logger heel" and assume that's all us Arborists...

    Your least favourite tree to climb, and why.

    Black locusts for the reason that I can't seem to get in one without first hanging 2 or 3 throw lines In it all jammed up. Or any kind of spruce for sure, nothing worse than needles down the back, especially when bundled up in New England.

    Ran into a family of raccoons I've time living in a cavity of a big horsechestnut, as well as recently a whole colony of small flying squirrels(winged squirrels, whatever they are called in New England) about to be fed through the chipper! Also, not technically found in a tree, but came across a...

    Buying a shop on a main road

    Vet, you make avalid point, if they need there fix there gonna do whatever it takes .I guess the ultimate solution would be to shoot for a spot with hi vis exposure, that's not in a drug ridden area! If you don't need the exposure to help grow your business then off the grid is probably the way...

    Misc Gear

    Adam, did you ever find a buyer for the Toss wand? If not, is it the size that's made for 1/2" line? and also how long is this it? Looking for one to do some 16 strand splicing, wondering if this is my ticket.

    8mm vs 10mm

    Thank you everyone for the replies! Gotta agree with you guys, the small size cordage certainly does get hot on the fingers when coming down! Think I'll give the 10mm armor prus a shot and see what kinda luck I have with that. Thanks again for the suggestions!

    8mm vs 10mm

    Hey guys, new to the buzz here and glad I found a forum on this subject. Had been climbing Ddrt with the 8mm HRC cord for a while, seemed to work out pretty good.
