Look at Craigslist for Hawaii and search monkey pod …. People do awesome work w it.

No I’ve not been to that coffee shop. North shore OAHU? That looks maybe like monkey pod. Not a ton of acacia here. There is ironwood or tepe? Invasive but beautiful.

West maui.

I like the acacia picks w the back hoe…. That wood is gorgeous. Poor man’s walnut even better.

Sorry y’all I went to maui for last week. Heading to Tokyo and Kyoto next week….little intimidated. @flushcut those are Capt Cook pines . They don’t like Capt Cook.. the pine is decent.. heavy tops.. shitty rope guy w lots of sap will hula hoop you outta yer spurs…. Haha @cory the litter...

Banyan in Kona, side busting off house, shit drips And a bunch of royal palm removals up hamakua way

In Kona Climbing Monkey pod.

Cool pictures, great to see the TH continuing on. My climb has been winding down a bit…. I dunno. I talked to a friend, also contract climber and he said Big island is the cheapest wages, and many many younger faster guys here will work for cheaper than me. Haha. It’s a race to the bottom...

FWIW I asked Nick from Wisconsin and he said he uses a double constrictor hitch. I think whip stitch locking it is plenty plenty…. I been using it and it’s a solid piece of kit.

These elastics are just bungee cords w the hooks slipped off…. The original binds look like these hog rings you mentioned… A mini carabiner fits perfectly.

So much to say about that. It is sad that it wasn’t used as a resource. Hindsight is a nag. The irony is now it’s a part of the base yard. Haunting….

Guess can do video’s directly now.

Got to watch the goats feet hooves… pretty wet here so I got big lava rocks for them to climb and scrape against. Really nice to have them off leash and running around. Looking for a couple more.. they just eat grass and fertilize. Carbon converters. Those are the logs from all the LaHaina...

Do you have an alternative? I wrapped them then stitched them together the legs of elastic…. Just trying to get a cleaner elastic than a knot…. Need to get some tight wire crimps er something.

Recent pics… I dunno if I’m a farmer or a rancher but I’m a fencer for sure now. Posts, Pins, Wire and Clips forever through 10 foot Cane Grass.
