No doubt about it, those guys were skilled with an axe.

Does Dan still do that every year? I haven't been down for it in over 10 years.

So I wonder, how many of you guys still splice 3-strand? It's still one of my favorite ropes to splice and there's so many cool rope tools that you can make with it. The late Brion Toss and the late Norm Hall were my splicing mentors and I owe them both so much for the time and effort that...

Just getting back into welding myself these days. Looking to get a Miller mig/tig combo.

God, I miss Jed and not having him here. He was the first one to show me and post about the sizwheel cut here way back in 2013 (I can't believe it's been 11 years). I am still trying to find the origins of this cut! @wiley_p I think that we can all agree that the sizwheel is more than just a...

Love finding out the history of our industry! Honestly though, I have to admit that I use mechanical hitches these days way more than the old rope-on-rope.

Here's a nice old training video. This is even before B's time in the Forest Service...I think? ;)

Yup, I hear ya!

Hey @Knotorious, I checked out you YouTube channel and just wanted to say fantastic job on knots! I love seeing new stuff like this. Surely, you must have gone through Ashely's Book Of Knots? That is the bible of knots and it's where I first got hooked learning and tying knots. Brion Toss was...

So it turns out to be needlecast fungi due to all the rain last season's rain, but as long as the trees are healthy there is nothing to be concerned about. Here's more info from the last time that this happened.

Just noticed all the brown Pines today here in New Hampshire. I'm looking into the causes right now. I do know that last year was a very heavy Pine cone year and I have noticed in the past that after this happens, the next year in the spring a lot of the older needles turn brown and fall off, as...

No I haven't seen it, but will definitely check it out, thanks!

That's a nice piece of history there, thanks for sharing! I can imagine after thousands of years of tying knots, it much be hard to come up with a new one these days.

Hey man, I know that we've been chatting for years here on The House and you told me your real name a long time ago. Just wondering if this is Rob Thigpen?

That's pretty cool, do we know who or when those names came about?

Honestly, I think that they should have kept the SRT acronym and just called it Stationary Rope Technique (instead of Single Rope Technique)) and they could have used MRT and called it Moving Rope Technique (instead of MRS). That's the way they refer to them both in Australia and New Zealand and...

Yeah, over here on the east coast in NH, we call the natural regen a "Pioneer Species" and never replant. 90 percent of NH is forested (I think). The pioneer species are the junk trees, Poplar, Alder, Birch, etc. (understory trees that shade the good stuff) and the "money trees" which are...

I just found out recently from Don Blair that he actually named the Blake's Hitch for Jason. Apparently, he was talking to Jason Blake when Blake first started climbing on the hitch (which Blake had learned from someone else). He was telling Don how he was going to make a VHS tape of how to tie...

What book is that?
