Sure shows how all the holding power is behind the new wood that compartmentalizes over the lag bolt. you can even see a gap on both sides of the bolt in the heartwood.

Prototype of the Metolius Porta-ledge?

Your theory sounds more plausible than mine. I thought maybe one of the three bears was so angry upon finding Goldilocks in his bed, that he threw the bed out of the window and it lodged up there.

While removing an old silver maple years ago, we found the carcass of a dog in a branch union cavity. The branch union was about 10-12 feet up and the hollow about 3-4 feet deep. The dog was either an Irish setter or long haired yellow lab. So, we figured the dog was chasing a squirrel or racoon and fell into the hollow at the union. It was about a 56" DBH tree.

I share this story whenever someone says they've never found cat skeletons in trees...no...but at least one dog!

Nice to see life back in a great old thread

I've found a wonderful career in the trees

My steel toe boots only need to last a few more weeks. I've been gluing them back together for a while. I was going to throw them in the trash at the end of my last day of
Work. Now, after reading Scott Baker's idea about leaving them in a tree I have better ideas! Screwed to antree with the toes up might make an inviting nest hole

So, you really are hanging up your boots for good. Your making me sad Tom. Are you really saying goodbye to the canopy forever?

I hope he's not heading to North Korea for that.

No...not hanging up my only pair of boots just the ones I'm required to wear at work. These steel toe boots are going away. Then I can wear boots that are comfortable and better for climbing...my Asolos
