    DMM Gyros

    Neat little doubles from DMM. They're super smooth and not at all floppy like some of the other rotating side plate products. Nothing to say, just dicking around. 8) Still paying around with the setup and components a bit. . . Cheers.

    Little Stump Grinder

    Hey guys, I'm going to check this thing out tomorrow afternoon. If everything checks out I'll almost certainly be bringing it home with me. :) https://greenbay.craigslist.org/for/6100587821.html I'd like to put a green wheel on it. Can stop giving away all the grinding around here. . ...

    Cable core test

    I know the internet is replete with examples of this, but I've always wanted to try it for myself. You honestly probably wouldn't even notice. . . :\: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6iERnPNlWe8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Thinking about getting a chipper

    So I've been mulling this over for a few months. I'm leaving a lot of money on the table by not being able to do any meaningful cleanup. 95% of the work I do is rural, and if I had a little chipper I could blast into the woods with, I'd be cruising. At work we've got a Vermeer 9" 935. I...

    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...

    ABR mid-line SRT re-direct

    So being a sucker for new kit, and wanting a Singing Tree Quickie but not really having a use for one, I nabbed one of Treestuffs SRT mid-line retrievable redirects. It works well. Overhand knot is a little difficult to pass the crab, but it does fall out nicely. The cross piece keeps it from...

    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...

    Your Oldest piece of kit

    And I would define "Kit" broadly. What is the oldest bit of gear in your arsenal that you still use regularly? Could be a ratty old sling that you still find yourself grabbing, or your favorite old chainsaw. Maybe a porty with grooves worn in it, or your work truck with a million miles. Old...

    Portable Winches?

    Any thoughts on the PWC5000 and the like? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one. Thanks.

    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.

    First thoughts on the MCRS.

    Friday after work I had a long awaited box sitting in the back of my pickup. Initial inspection was a treat. Everything looked excellent. Workmanship was exactly what I expected. After half an hour setting the initial adjustments in a close aproximation of my old saddle, I threw a line...

    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...

    How far will you travel?

    I'd also be interested to hear how you bill for travel time ? Thanks guys.

    What's your favorite rope grab on a wire core?

    As many white pines as I'm in, I'm tired of fighting a glued up hitch. Any suggestions for the best Mech rope grab that can handle some sap? Thanks!

    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
