Has anyone else seen this? I am assuming that it is with Paul's blessing? Hope so because I just ordered one. https://climbing-innovations.myshopify.com/products/hitch-hiker-x-without-swivaeye

I am by no means a rancher or farmer but have always preferred working with natural solutions. I was viewing this video and was wondering what some of you that have more experience in these things, like FFZ, thought of this as a way of improving diversity and land use potential...

Lately I have been using this knee ascender set-up and have pretty much stopped using any hand ascenders. This works so well and your arms are free to be used for balance, passing limbs, whatever. You don't even need to take it off for moving around the tree if you don't want to. Just unclip...

With everybody experimenting with the rope wrench/SRT, I thought I would continue updates on what I have found with my preferred tool for SRT, The Unicender. 8) With all of its positive and unique properties, the Uni is still lacking in some areas. Tailing the line is one of them. I...

I would like to get one and could use some feed back from those that are familiar with their use. Burnham, you just mentioned in the resistograph thread that you use them. What can and can't they do? Are the smaller sizes .169" or .200" large enough to get readable cores? What about the...

Reading the 82 yards with a Bow thread reminded me that this forum is home to some very fine woodsmen. I have asked this question of many of the younger generation and have not gotten satisfactory answers. But I feel confident that this group will prove that this knowledge has not been lost...

Had the pleasure of entertaining Bob Underwood and his lovely wife, Nancy, last night on their way home. My wife is taking classes from him on-line. Quite an informative fellow. I couldn't offer him any fantastic trees like some of the west coasters were able to do but I figured anyone who...

I was asked to take a look at this tree to remove. I can't remember seeing a Ponderosa with more of an S bend than this tree shows. Can't quite figure how it achieved this shape because it is growing in a stand of "normal" Ponderosas so it should have had the same protection they had during...

Just wondering if any of you guys use this technique. When I see a heavy head leaner, I always look to see if I can accomplish this. I found if I can remove the heavy head, on many tree species the wood is tough enough to hold on the hinge. And if I cut the appropriate-sized face cut I can...

I searched for the "Stupid Questions" section, couldn't find one so I'm sticking this here. My wife and I were talking to a logger awhile back. He described how one of his buddies hauled out a large burl off a redwood with great effort got it to a wood dealer who proclaimed it a "bunion" and...

Ok, so I guess I waited to the last minute to ask this question seeing as how I will be using this on a crane job tomorrow. For those of you who use the podium with the Petzl Sequoia saddle, what do you use as attachment points? I got the Podium which is the large, board type seat because it...

Got a call from a homeowner concerned about his trees that had been planted last fall. Had a high mortality rate and the nursery is telling him it is his fault. The homeowner built the berm, laid the sod. The nursery just came with an auger, drilled the holes and set and braced the trees...

The Public Works Director from our city asked us to swing by and take a look at this situation. And offer suggestions. Trees are mature silver maples, probably between 95 and 125 years old. His thoughts were to cut the cement and reroute the sidewalk away from the trees. Then, either pack...
