    Fungal Infection of Black Locust

    A customer had a black locust fail this week, and a second locust nearby partially fail today. I inspected the stumps after removal and discovered the wood had a white substance inside. I tried to clear the small rocks off, but they kept pouring in from the bank. I'm thinking it's a white...

    Mimosa? Or locust?

    thanks everyone. I was thinking it could just be very late leafing out because I saw some gleditsia’s do the same last year, but it’s so late that I’m leaning towards it just being finished.

    Mimosa? Or locust?

    I came across this tree in Vancouver, BC and am having a tough time identifying it. I couldn’t really see the leaves which doesn’t help.

    Mystery Tree

    Thank you guys. That’s funny because I looked into it being a mimosa but thought it’s leaves were too small. I’m sure it is one.

    I'm really struggling to ID this tree. I have never come across a species like this before.

    Fungus on Timbers?

    Thank you for such a detailed response! I'll be referring back to this post many times in the future I'm sure!

    Fungus on Timbers?

    I haven’t had a chance to see it in person yet... they’re worried about it being on a playground. What is the name of it?

    Rope Runner

    I just got a rope runner (just before the news about the rope runner pro) and used it today for the first time. It was flattening my yale 11.7mm rope quite a lot. Am I doing something wrong, or is that just part of mechanicals? Also, if it is okay, should I use my zig zag on a separate rope or...

    Battery Powered Chainsaw/Hedge Trimmer

    I live in Vancouver and we have a husky top handle and a husky pole saw. I mentioned Vancouver because it rains here.. a lot. I have only had an issue with the saw not working once when it was absolutely pouring. Other than that, it’s been great. The ability to switch batteries between the saws...

    Sumac?

    I had no idea it suckered that badly from the stump. I don't know much about tree of heaven.. were they planted for a time before they were considered invasives?

    Central Tokyo Rigging

    I went to re-watch this again and found that it's private. Too bad, it was such a masterpiece in rigging.

    Maasdam Failure

    Oh I got it, thanks guys. What do you guys think of making Tom Hoffman's urig system? Better, worse or the same as two omni blocks? I like the fact that the prusiks and rope don't rub on each other in the u-rig system.

    Maasdam Failure

    Sorry guys not entirely following what you mean by the 90 degree corner for tending prusiks. What do you think about Htp? That good enough?

    Maasdam Failure

    Yes, that is exactly it. I just wasn't sure if an omni block with its swivel would be a little long for a prusik (I suppose I could have just used a longer one if necessary). Most 5 to 1's that I've seen have pullies such as...

    Maasdam Failure

    I'm thinking of getting two of these omni blocks: https://www.nugreenstore.com/collections/rigging-pulleys/products/rock-exotica-omni-block-pulley-2-0-double Will connecting a prusik to the swivel via carabiner be an issue? thinking of getting 7/16" htp for the rope, or similar

    Maasdam Failure

    I’m looking to buy a 5 to 1. Do you guys have any suggestions for a kit, or should I just buy the pieces individually?
