    Basic system for tree ascent/descent

    Okay guys this is for Tim who PMed me some questions about a system to use for hunting and I don't have the pics hosted anywhere so I wanted to upload them so he can see what I'm trying to explain. The first pic shows a simple Doubled rope technique set-up . The rope is tied to a biner with a...

    Sometimes it isn't all about beauty.

    In 1893 the Kettle brothers left Canada in a wagon bound for the Wet Mountain Valley of Colorado to build a new ranch. They brought with them their worldly goods and a little willow tree. The back story of WHY they would take the trouble to transport a tree halfway across the continent is lost...

    For Tarzan-Olathe Mods

    Here are a couple of pics of what I did-eliminating the lower feed wheel and replacing the discharge chute. In retrospect I think making the bottom rolller smooth is a better way to go but this does work better that the original set up.

I have the Altec that I got from Skwerl and have run a couple of other Altecs, a Mat3...

    Governor

    Anyone know of a source for a Ford(perhaps universal) belt driven governor? The one on the Olathe 984 chipper EXPLODED (2.3 litre Ford 4 banger). I can still operate by setting the throttle to a reasonable speed and putting up with some bogging but I'd like to find a Guv'nuh.

    Suffer not fools gladly...but they are good for a laugh

    Today I was working in a trailer park. Several removals but I chose to do the climbing first before the already high temps reached the 99-104 variously reported as the high. ......So, I'm working my way up this moderate sized Catalpa removal when a tenant in the adjoining lot comes out and...

    Hog wild

    I returned esterday from this year's javalina bow hunt. For the first time in six years I came back without a javie.....but I had plenty of fun. First time for everything-I got attacked by a wounded Feral Hog. Charged me from about 20 feet, knocked me down and cut up my left leg a little...

I went and bought what new tubing was available-enough to replace the lower bportion of line that has blown out. Today at 5 pm the old ,swollen brittle line above the...

    Bow stringing

    Butch, I don't know why all of the other forums I frequent have such sucky software but I'm going to try to steal a bit of bandwidth from you to help out some other folks. file:///C:/temp/bow%20stringing.htm The proper stringing/unstringing of a bow involves bending the limbs by stressing them...

    Jamin slays the dragon

    Okay, I'll admit that is a bit overstated but it sounds more exciting that "Jamin deadwoods a large tree". Unfortunately there are no dramatic action vids or even awe inspiring stills of monster limbs free falling or hinging onto the rope. I further apologize to Jamin himself for my being so...

    Laptop for college student.

    Help! I need to buy a laptop computer for a student. It doesn't have to be a dualcore with some super graphics card at this point- but I need to find something suitable for a freshman to get started with. Economy is important but it needs to be adequate. I have really no idea what kind of...
