    ...or feelings. Iceland has strict laws that govern the naming of children to preserve the country's linguistic and cultural heritage. These laws require that all names follow Icelandic grammar and pronunciation rules, and be compatible with the Icelandic language. ***Produced by Google's AI***

    Dedicated stump grinder vs skid steer with grinder attachment? Pros and Cons?

    Access and lawn damage with the skid steer. I've taken the duals off of the Carlton to get through gates many times. I almost sold a job where we were going to crane the grinder over a fence with the Grove 60 ton.

    Dedicated stump grinder vs skid steer with grinder attachment? Pros and Cons?

    I've heard them called Bear Traps. If a bear were to rub its back on one, it could dislodge the top.

    Wildlife reintroduction in PNW , Grizzly Bear ... really ?

    I’ve only done small stuff, but I’ve found that it’ll always go sideways (depending on pressure on the broken top) you just have to work out which way it wants to go.

    Protocol here is : " Run, Forest, run!!!!" Just get the hell out of Dodge when it goes. When I start clearing an escape path before falling a tree, my apprentices know, some heavy shit is going to come down.

    We call that a squirrel bridge. Usually try to fall them over backwards, straight away from the hanger. Bridge is usually pushing the stem in that direction. That, or mash the hanger down with another tree.

    Tree Swing - Rope and Anchor Tie

    I used to be big on swings growing up. Had a killer one at my treehouse. On the side of a hill. You could go sideways and do a big circle or striaght. I had a 5/4 board with a hole drilled in it and a knot under. The board split and a girl did not hold on. Fortunately not way up in the...
