Not sure what forum to put this in. I find the whole thing fascinating. Our electric company brought the local paper out to observe and photograph a tree crew at work. Then they got a reporter to give their side of the story for why rate hikes are needed due to reasonable increases costs with...

I started out on a chilly early morning with a light pile jacket. As the sun rose I got overheated. Any tips for heat management when you have a variety of temperatures in one climb?

Anyone remember the Treehouser who discovered the bargain RollGliss on eBay?

Looks like Skylotech makes a Milan rescue hoist similar to the DBI-Sala RollGliss that was McGivered into an ascender powered by a battery drill. Makes me think the partnership of Skylotech and Husqvarna is a good pedigree for the new ascender.

How does it work?

I don’t know if I missed a memorial in another place in the Treehouse. If anybody can direct me to it I would be much obliged. If there is nothing anywhere else, then let this be a start. He had a sense of humor in at least three languages. Opinionated and confident but sometimes able to listen...

Welcome, Mine.

Is that little orange light inside the cavity daylight shining in?
