    kiwi klimbers

    Anyone interested in a pair of carbon fiber kiwi klimbers with trees spikes? They are perfectly fine, I just prefer geckos. The titanium spikes and ascender Are on my geckos, and I'm definitely keeping them Thinking $200 but I'm pretty flexible

    Harness bloodstopper pouch

    I'm thinking to get a bloodstop pouch to fit in that neat little holder on my treemotion. Had a Wesspur order built, but called to ask about their "bloodstopper pouch". Apparently it just contains a normal compression bandage. Does anyone know who sells a hemostatic gauze kit that fits on a...

    066 rebuild no start

    I've had an old 066 kicking around for a while not running. Last fall I put a new piston/ cylinder in it and got it to catch for a bit. After a min of running it sputtered out. Replaced the air filter, spark plug, carb, intake boot and impulse line today, but it won't catch now. Can you saw...

    On site diesel

    Does anyone have an on site diesel pump setup? I'm looking into getting biodiesel delivered, but pump and tank would have to be away from power source. Any suggestions for battery powered transfer pumps? Is containment needed for 250gal fuel tanks?

    Sailing

    I've been learning to sail for the last few years, and have totally fallen in love with it! The lines, rigging, gadgets, gear, demand for focus etc. remind me of what I enjoy about tree work. So far I'm just day sailing, but toying with getting a small cruising boat or live aboard. I'm pretty...

    066 parts

    Looking for a piece for an 066 that I'm rebuilding. It's a small circle with two tabs on it, holds the carb on. I think it's got a threaded stud for the cover to mount to. I've seen other 066 that just have a solid piece the air filter goes on instead of 2 like mine. Anyone have an 066 parts...

    Swiss Logging

    Saw this cool video of some Swiss loggers the other day. I thought their little woods camp was delightful, sort of reminded me of stories I've heard about old Maine logging camps. Moving logs by river was made illegal here 40 years ago, the last log drive was in 1976. Any euro folks know if this...

    Anyone getting rid of a portable winch?

    Just used a pw 3000 for the first time yesterday, and was blown away. Anyone on here have one they don't use? Found I'd ask before getting one new.

    Petzl Pantin Failure

    So I bought a Petzl Pantin a few years ago. After a bit I nicked the webbing strap with a handsaw and was figuring it would eventually snap. Not the case, kept hanging on for the past year or so. Last week I was doing some view pruning, lots of up and down climbing srt with foot and knee...

    Kask Ear Protection

    I just bought a Kask helmet with the new 3m ear muffs. Super comfortable helmet, but the ear muffs don't seem to do anything. It feels like there is not enough pressure to form a tight seal, so it is virtually as loud as not having them down. I ran into this same problem when I borrowed a...

    WTB Hitch Hiker

    Picture of 201T Handle Inside

    My coworker dropped his 201 from about 50 ft, and smashed the left side of the handle. I took it apart today to glue it back together, but can't figure out how to arrange the linkages. I would rather not take apart another handle to figure it out. Does anyone have a picture of the 201 handle...

    Integrated Soft Shackle

    Our summer intern sent the winch line through our chipper this year, and the next week another local company did the same thing. It ended up being a cheap fix for us, but cost the other guys a few thousand. For both of us, most of the damage was done by the steel carabiner on the line. That got...
