i'm converting from rock to tree. have gear. have more gear coming. studied all Winter. now it's time to play.

EVENTUALLY i'll do pruning in the canopy, maybe chunking/deconstructs, but "low and slow".

normally i'm on the ground with tools and winches and 1/2 the job is fixing hung up trees that either i take down, or they suicide :D

very thick forest here. too thick. so, i'm going to thin it and stuff.

Hahahaha, well how do I change it! Baha, and that is awesome man it is a very fun job, I only do it on the side usually, but recently I got laid off from the oilfield and it became a full time gig. I learned it all from my last job, I did line clearance for the city, I have climbed plenty of "hot" trees in contact with transmission lines. That will make your adrenaline go up when you feet are tingling! But if you ever have any questions let me know I can answer! I have a million and one tricks! Haha.
 
There we go, is my sig working? [emoji23]


Bladite couldn't handle my signature. So here we are.

yay no sig ;) it's just a waste of space - it's funnier when you get email from people on their smart phones "sent by foo mail". yeah, whatever. even more more annoying is the "your email scanned by machaffaffed", and as emails grow, 98% of the chain is just that message at the end, every growing...

there's some great books now, and a hundreds of hours of online stuff - some of it even good.

here's a question for ya: 98% of tree climbing don't use an arrest system (petzl asap lock for example)... what's up with that?

you'd think in industrial applications, where that's a known thing... petzl actually advises you have a backup and egress plan for climbing - but fails to tell you how to set that up ;) lol. well, they hint at it. guess the techno arb industry is evolving fast now. who knew?

fun thing to look at: husqvarna chainsaw company has an ELECTRIC arb saw. no gas. all the vroom. real saw. just ... quieter.

In on 2!

Yes... I said 2, you people with the weird page settings.... how 'bout them apples! I prefer Red Delicious, but Honeycrisp is pretty good too. Granny Smith is a little too tart for me to eat raw.

I'm so far behind... Testing of "stuff" in El Paso for the last two weeks...bees, chickens and other "honeydo's" on return...

I much prefer Honeycrisp to Red Delicious.

Oh, and in on whatever this page is with normal ("non-hoss") settings.
 
Active shooter training, room clearing, force-on-force with sim rounds. Good stuff. Doing it while still sick, a bit less so. 5 hours to go.

Yeah, you would be surprised to know that a good 75% are scared to try micro pulleys, zig zags, anything. They just keep that ol' blakes hitch. Half the guys I know won't even use carabiners instead of snaps. And yeah I actually tried out one of those electric husqis, the company I worked for used to run all Stihl saws, then one day have the climbing crew (us) all new husqvarna saws because we were doing well, we got a 372xp some smaller one, and the largest saw they have, 36" bar. I think it's an 8 somethin' xp. Anyway, we were pissed because we heard they were junk. But I have never ran a better saw, husqi stepped up their game. I was glad to get rid of my ms 261.

I don't see how those two could possibly be compared as equals, the red delish can't even touch the base of the support for the bar that the Honeycrisp has raised.
