Iiiiiiit's time! Well almost. A few interesting trail cam pics from the lease. Time and date are screwed up on some of my cameras and I aint smart enough to fix em.

I had a customer give me an MS 310 with a 20" bar yesterday, said he didn't have any use for it and had only used it a handful of times. I offered to pay him for it, he said no, just take my son and I fishing. I was going to do that anyway. Anyone have any experience with the 310? It's obvious...

I came across this trio a couple of days ago. It's pretty rare in my experience to catch two snakes in the act. I watched the third one scent trail them down and try to join in on the action. Black rat snakes, just called black snakes by most folks.

About time to start a new fishing thread. Caught some redfish out of the 'yak this evening. They fight really hard all the time but while the water's cool, they are just brutes and will give you quite a ride.

The current track shows our town being center punched by Hermine. It's not packing much of a punch but no doubt will produce a good bit of work. After a storm, the county will normally pick up all of our debris for a couple of weeks so that's a big plus too. Supposed to make landfall about midnight.

Got a chance to fish little today, caught a bunch of speckled trout, sheepshead, and other assorted food items. My partner caught this jack crevalle, not much to eat, but great grouper bait and a heck of a fighter.

Pilate told the Chief Priests and Pharisees, "You have your soldiers, now go make the tomb as secure as you can". He didn't say "make it secure". Even with members of the most elite fighting force in the world guarding it, I believe Pilate had his doubts as to whether any man could keep Jesus...

Took a few hours and went to the woods yesterday to try and shoot a hog. I got skunked but my bro-in-law shot this tusker. It was his 101st big game animal. A sideways hog. Go figure.

A three strand whoopie or loopie sling is very simple to make and useful in a lot of applications. I haven't seen any instructions anywhere online so here goes. You start by twisting the rope backwards to create a hockle of sorts. Roll each strand to form a circle, laying them side by side...

Just curious to see what other climbers would consider to be their most dreaded encounter in the tree, be it honey bees, wasps, hornets, bumblebees or something else.

I haven't seen this posted and I thought it was worth the watch. Can't get it to embed https://youtu.be/LbLTPIFh1Ks

Made it home, what a great adventure it was! You westerners live in some gorgeous country. We camped six miles from the trailhead at 8,000 feet and hunted at around 10,000. I've got to admit, even though I trained pretty hard, that country was tough on a set of sea-level lungs. I guess there's...

Guided a fine southern gentleman doctor from Tallahassee on a gator hunt last night. Quite a character and quite a man of character, not to mention a good tipper. We not only had a great time, but I feel like I made a really good friend. I called up and "counted coup" on three other gators and...

My partner and I took down a 70' pine and a camphor over a mobile home yesterday. The camphor had grown around and into the pine from ground level to about three feet high. After lowering and blocking everything down, leaving a twenty foot spar on the pine, I cut through the camphor stump...

Anyone ever try these? I'm tired of face shields catching on everything and with regular safety glasses I still get junk in my eyes, not to mention the fact that they fog. TreeStuff's got 'em for $18.95

Merry Christmas to one and all at The Tree House! You have all been a great blessing to me. From my family to yours, have a wonderful holiday season.

I've got a hollow sycamore to remove. I was going to climb it and block it out but it is just a one inch shell of live wood on two sides and about two to three inches on the side away from the hollow. I can actually press in on the sides and they flex like a plastic drum. It's about ten or...

In remembrance of all who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. For those who have fought and prevailed against evil across the globe for not only America, but for the liberty of countless other nations. We honor and thank you.

Just curious to see who is the oldest active climber in the house.

I have a customer with four of what appear to be Mexican fan palms in a back yard that he wants trimmed and I've never put a rope in a palm with spiked fronds. They look like they would do a number on a climbing rope and I'm looking for advice. I know you guys in California have a ton of them...
