    Chainsaw Dawgs! (Falling Spikes)

    More about this little 550XP. . . So having one large dog on the saw was only marginally better than the small single that it came with. I lost about 2" of bar without any real control or accuracy gains. It kept the bark off the muffler, but that was about it. I did some prowling around...

    Bridge failure in Ann Arbor

    Ann Arbor Michigan Ooof. Evidently a seven year old saddle. Change out those rope bridges!

    Spur Ascenders

    I was really skeptical of these devices, and thought for sure I'd spike my leg. I know some of the more traditionally trained climbers on this board thought they were a bad idea as well. On more than one occasion I've wanted to be able to SRT up with my spikes on, which seemed like an obvious...

    Tree ID question, with photo!

    Any one have a guess? It was taken amid numerous oaks and red pine here in the U.P. Owner is not sure, and neither am I. Thanks a ton to any guesses! Sorry I don't have a better picture.

    This old Desk

    So I started out with a General Fireproofing typewriter desk from the late 40's, which I found on Craigslist for $100. One Desk to Rule Them All. One Desk to Find Them. One Desk to bring them all, and in the darkness Bind them! hahaha :lol: 8)

    AP dissection

    This is one of the first pieces of AP I tried. It's a few years old. I retired it when the cover started to get too stiff. Used in rigging for a little bit. I wanted to see what the core looked like. My last few trips on it I really tried to burn it up. . . There was the slightest...

    Cut and lower today "non-critical situation"

    So we had some pretty strong winds along lake Superior this past week. Noticed this red pine had given up on her roots and was leaning in an adjacent tree. The property managers were concerned about their fence and tennis courts below. . . I had a pull line set on the tow...

    Looking for a new rear handle 'in tree' saw.

    What's your poison? I've been thinking a Stihl 362 or a husky 562XP. Might want to go a little smaller? I'd be interested in hearing what your thoughts are on the next step after the top handle. Thanks. Stay warm. (brrrr) ~Sam

    Red Pine takedown

    Promised I'd come up with some pictures of me actually in the tree. This red was banging into the structure with a north wind. Beautiful day on Lake Superior :D Cheers ~Sam.

    My new 390 XP-G and friends.

    Just some quick pictures of my new weapon. I've never owned a brand new (big) saw before, and I'm pretty happy camper right now. :) Got it from a great local shop for about $1100. She threw in 3 jugs of Husky pre-mix, a couple files, a free loop of chain, hat, and some other swag. Talking...

    Hello everyone

    I have been enjoying this forum to no end, and I just wanted to introduce myself. No professional here, only aspiring. I got it in my head that I wanted to learn the rope side of tree work for myself two summers ago, when we had a new tree service crew come in and do a number of removals for...
