I think you really mean:

www.masterblasterhome.com

The one you referenced is a clever diversion, not OUR MB.

And the pictures ARE awesome.

I WISH I could have gotten that domain name!

I'm kinda partial to the original gypoclimber.com
A better ring and without the suggestion that someone is mastering over anything. JMHO

I felt the same way once, but soon I got over it.

Kevin, those 30+ yr old leg irons have long ago gotten stuck in the shortest position. I finally got another set of Caddy pads for some Buckinghams. Definitely more comfy.... The shorty ones didn't bug me much if I wore my Wesco boots. Used to have some alu Bashlins/Caddy pads till a climber borrowed them and lost 'em.

you mean the pine pitch, eh, Butch? Weellll, it wuz on me pants from the looks of it in the stump pic....Now it's on 3 ropes from my most recent pine job. Gotta break out the boiling water and citricide soap again...remember the pics from last summer's stickiest tree ever?

The pic show Robert "Samson" Oxman, trying to bring down the pine temple......This is from a 3 pine removal that I just finished yesterday. Dropped a 60 foot stick after the self loader moved a 91 footer (which was what was left after I dropped a 62 foot top. 5600 bf of pine, 44 yards of chips...and many buckets o' pitch (some in our hair, heh). In the photo, we are lifting this 550 bf 5000 lb log with a 3 (or 4) to 1 pulley system, then pulling it over with my Toy truck, as the chip truck let it down. Watch the rope recoil as the 1/2 inch line parts company when I tug too hard.

Check out this 9 mb video showing the snafu.... more will be following...thanks to Llamabert for finding this hosting site....

And here's the last top flying away, 55-60 feet of it. We got 5 logs from this tree, which scaled out to 2100 bf.

White pine pays $400mbf, always the same for years, and usually no deductions for knots. I hope not, cause these wolfy sticks had many big knots, with mammoth cuts needed to get past the collars.

The job took two days, total should be $3750 after trucking the logs.
