    Beginner Tree Climbing Tips

    Ropes can go in a chipper just as fast in a bucket as if you're climbing. I try to hang the rope on something that will tear away. In this case a plastic saw scabbard.

    Official Guns Thread

    Maybe you would know it as SS109? To us it is M855, to NATO it is SS109. 62 grain 5.56x45mm with tungsten steel penetrator. Ours has a green tip. The green tip does not mean it is M855, it means it is not M193 if that makes sense.

    Official Guns Thread

    Did a little online shopping today. 840 rounds of M855 and a new trigger from Larue for one of my AR type rifles. Haven't been doing much with the guns of late, but I'm getting excited about building a range again.

    Motivation

    I'm a one man show who hires subs for the work I have. I myself also sub as a climber. Last year I just friggin' hated doing tree work. I was beyond burned out with it and just about everything in life. So I jacked my prices way up and became honest to the point of rude with customers hoping I...

    Friction creator?

    Not taking that bet ar all. I love me some toys but I still use a Blake or taughtline on conifers or other trees where I climb on a rigline because I don't want to gum up my good stuff.

    Let's fight about ropes vs wedges.

    Side one: Arborist. Hanging a rope only takes skill and a throw ball. I'm not working with forest trees, I have huge canopies with hard to judge weight that loggers just don't see.

    Tree pruning after wind damage

    Reduce canopy and thin lower for wind penetration. Or leave it alone and clean it up when it blows over. I'm a tree guy and not a cop so do whatever.

    Good Morning!

    Good morning indeed! Putting my boots on and heading out to a sub job. No idea what they're going to have me get into yet.

    Friction creator?

    This would just be for crane work, so normally a shackle or bull ring on the cable. It's only an issue when I'm hanging slings for another climber, which involves me bombing out of the tree as fast as I can 20 or more so times.

    Wow! That might be what I'm looking for...

    Friction creator?

    Butch I feel that we both know that will wear out, plus it doesn't look very cool, and the whole point of tree work is to look cool.
