Steve and crew great job. Forwarding the video to my brother in law in cleveland area who's a lieutenant at a suberban firehouse who also is a climbing (not trees though) authority. You two should certainly talk sometime.

Now, I'm even more disappointed I missed it. Nice work Mac, Eric, and Stephen.

Nice video! Thanks for making it available to us all. Although it didn't include the second half with Steve's awesome presentation, this video captures the quality of the demonstration! Thanks again to all involved.

Speaking of Steve....where is the pdf? I can't wait to get some conversations started with my local responders.

I think there was a size limit on TreeBuzz for the upload and they were looking to up the limits for Steve's presentation. Is that right Steve? It could take a bit...hopefully soon though!

I just got a reply that the hold up is with the "Host" increasing the upload file size on the homepage. It's all Greek to me but anyway I'll make sure to say something when it's up. Look for some great stuff coming from Mac and Whip on this subject. I don't wanna let the cat out of the bag yet. Really I was only a stage hand for these guys. I even carried Eric's bag to the expo from the hotel. I know I said it before but those two are the coolest "regular" dudes ever. Being rock stars in the tree world, you never know it by talking to them. One thing that really impressed me is how good they were about introducing me to everyone they knew. Made me feel part of the "crew". I truly enjoyed it.

There are always a few guys at the show I can't wait to chat with. While he is not on here often one of my favorite guys to chat with is Morgan. He is just so laid back and humble. Great kid.

Agreed! Morgan always gives me the feeling after a conversation with him, like he was the one honored to speak with me. Truly, I am humbled by his 'humbleness' every time!

At every conference or workshop I meet TB regulars. Some never post but check in daily to keep up. Others have familiar screen names.

I had a lot of fun...and learned a few things too.

Can they develop the app to track CEUs for next year?

oceans · Nov 15, 2016

I'd like to express my thanks to everyone that took the time to attend that demo. For real. We really had a great time, and @Steve Connally did a great job consolidating the info. I'm excited to see what comes down the pipe when it gets posted. So much room for continued development in collaboration here.

x2 on Morgan T. What a great guy!

I agree with that!! I met Eric at my employment when some big storms rolled through, his company came down and climbed like crazy! Saw him a couple years later at OHIO tree care conference and he was the same and remembered me and invited me out every night to hang with everyone. Down to earth people in the tree world are a great thing!!

On another note I would like to know more about this system!!

Thanks for sharing!!
