Negative Ghostrider. That's a great way to ruin your harness and gear with sloppy crap, trash your rope, gum up your climbing device or hitch. Trunks are one thing, painting tops is another matter. Ever used wound-seal aloft? That crap gets EVERYWHERE!

We had a long journey to work today, and I was impressing on my young climber the need for him to throwline/srt/spurless. He gets it (he says) but he mustn’t get stuck with me in the mid 90s, though to be fair it is rather cool here, no mobiles, girls look better and Weezer have released ‘Just...

Just remember rope is a consumable and should be replace regularly. I’m not saying that line is burned up, far from it. I often get the impression a lot of tree peeps keep their lines forever. After 10 trees and say $20grand in gross revenue a $150 line can be replaced often.

So sorta make a clove hitch and send a loop thru

The ergonomics are better. I'm definitely for efficiency, however I'm thinking career long marathon not daily sprints. I have taken an hour for a hard shot at 80'. That's where the work was, 2 large fir branches to prune from over the house. It wasn't a tree to advance from the bottom...

Cutting for scale is its own skill.

I don't see the chain on my phone. If the chain dangles without girdling, it's a warning.

it‘s common around here, young trees or suddenly exposed beech trees get painted.

Our youngest daughter is doing a two-week class at Dauphin Island Sea Lab. They are partnered with the University of North Alabama where she is attending. So we hitched up the camper and came south for a few days to see her and the beach. Brought our middle daughter and her three kids along. Got...

Welcome!

Doood! I’m telling ya she and D would make amazing puppies! 🐶

I don’t think I have ever seen a whitewashed tree here, ever. I have seen sunscald on trees that have had heavy canopy work or storm damage, mostly young ornamental trees.

Maybe keep the tubes suspended a couple inches off the ground like I seen em do with plastic mesh used to keep buck deer from rubbing off the bark

Apple orchards do it. The other way the protection is done is by using PVC tubes. The problem is rodents like to make a house at the bottom of the tubes

I never heard of it but it makes sense
