Well we have ran the Stihl saws for a while, I have ran them all my life. But times are changin at our camp. We got a new 562XP and now 2 540XP saws and man o man they RIP! We still have the 660 and a couple 261's and 3 200 T's but the Husqy's clearly are the better saws. Now before you flog me...

Hey guys, my mentor turned my lose today in a smaller River Birch and said "Get it done". It wasn't anything crazy, had to rope a few stems off and drop the top. Also had to rig up on both trunks to pull them over in a smallish drop zone. Everything went good, no damage and it was done in a...

Just talked to Luke over at Tree Stuff. I noticed the other day they had some nice bags at a real good price that are their brand but they didn't have the Tree Stuff logo on them. Luke said if we get one of their bags just to ad FREE PATCH PER LUKE in the comments box when you buy the bag. Just...

Hey all I need to get a hold of something just to practice with. We have some decent saddles at work but they stay in the company truck so I cant get one to play with at home. I am just wanting to try out a VT setup and do some "in trouble scenarios" close to the ground. I just ask that its safe...

We ordered some steel DMM Ultra O biners and got them from TS yesterday I think. Man o man these things are slick. I am not saying our petzl ones aren't good but these are far better. The action is super slick, feels like your pulling the bolt back on a tourney rifle. There is absolutely no...

I have a nice set of clubs I no longer use. Lynx Super Black Cat titanium driver Fairway woods (off brand) Ping Eye Copy irons, really nice irons from a golf smith with temper steel shafts Couple different putters Max Spin Wedge (illegal for tourney play) Cook chipper Several Callaway Balls...

Hey Butch you think we could get one more forum spot for our corresponding locations, like states or even regions?

I am heavily considering grabbing the new Arbormaster rope in the hawkeye color (they finally made a lime green one :) ) and I think I want a tight spliced eye on one end. If I have read correctly the spliced eye (if done correctly) is stronger than any termination type knot. Is this correct?

Found a decent buy on some Bash's http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bashlin-Tree-Spurs-Gaffs-/131483575786?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e9d0825ea

Found this sell on Fleebay, guy says this stuff can sell for 2200 bucks and instead of laughing I got a little ticked because thats some BS. I wonder how many new guys he has got with that silver tongue. I am green but bought gear before so it wouldn't trick me much but others may not be so...

Hey all, I just got a new WesSpur catalog and I was looking at the French Prusik/VT Kit. Is this better than the Blakes hitch with a split tail? And I was at Nick's site and noticed most of the split tails are 10mm instead of 12mm/1/2" . Does the 10mil grab better and is it just as strong as a...

I used to be a sales rep and supplement adviser for a few companies a while back and still keep up with the current trends. If anyone needs advice ( my advice will be considered opinion only as I do not have a doctrine or any medicinal license) I can help you out and maybe point you in the right...

Hey guys I been looking at the caritool and singing rock tool biner and I am stumped by something. They are both PLASTIC???????? Why would you make something that can hold a $500- $1000 saw plastic??? The only reason I can see is that since it is in the upright lock position it will break freely...

Hey guys what do you all use for the biner on the side you clip your lanyard to that has the slack tender on it? We are using these http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=159&item=1134 and i really like it but it seems my biner is never in a comfortable position like it's trying...

Found this very nice looking old DB saw. It's in the local CL thought some of you might want to take a look at it. https://knoxville.craigslist.org/atq/4919797865.html

Hey all, your favorite green mean climbing machine here again to gain some knowledge and maybe some cooking recipe's. We have Buck spurs right now and they are great, the stick good and feel solid. What sucks is they have the weaver leather Velcro pads and they are terrible imo. The leather on...

Well i ran the 660 all day today (8 am - 4 pm) because all we had were felling's. We had 6 big deadish Oaks. I haven't ran a big saw all day before and man it tried to woop me a couple times lol. The hardest part though imo was caring the saw to where you were going. When you get there you just...

Hey again! I am shopping for a good pair of climbing boots. I am confused between 10" and 16" calf heights. My gut says go with 16's and get used to them because your legs will thank you later because of the gaff protection. I really want a set of Wesco's or Hoff's but I just can't swing that...

Hey all I am still fairly new to the arborist part of tree climbing but have experience with harnesses. I am currently in a weaver cougar and I do not like it at all. I have adjusted it every way I know, lengthened this, loosened that and it still isn't comfy for me. The problem is it feels like...
