I got a call about 10 years ago to cut some trees at an isolated property. 800 acre ranch. Looked at the job and noticed pretty quick that this person had quite a bit of money. Was dealing with the wife. Turned out to be Jerry Van Dyke. He was on Coach, Yes Dear and several other sit coms...

Since I got the APTA I've been messing around with 12 volt compressors. The kind that plug into the cigarette lighter. I have a tiny Slime compressor. About $10. Takes quite a while to pump out air. Works good and if it was all you had it would be just fine. Puts out about 40 psi. I have a...

I stay away from the politics and religion forum but one caught my attention and I was reading through it. No intention to reply. At the bottom it read "You have insufficient priveleges to reply here". I've not seen that before. It's on every thread in the politics and religion forum. Am I the...

I throw by hand 99 percent of the time. I've had a big shot for about 10 years and only use it about 5 or 6 times a year. If I was more accurate with it I might use it more. It's nice but it can still take a few times for a very tight spot. I've been rec climbing some taller trees lately and...

I'm needing another rope. My 150 ft aren't cutting it anymore and need at least a 200 ft. I've been climbing on Lava Surge and Samson Vortex. I like the fatter feel of the Vortex but the Rope Wrench slides through the smaller Lava line better. I'm mainly climbing on the Rope Runner Pro lately...

I figure everyone but me has seen this but I find it may be useful someday. I'll bookmark it on here so I can find it again.

Pretty cool idea.

Yall think this would be worth having?

I've been having an abnormal amount of vehicles driving up the 1/2 mile gravel private drive to my house lately. My parents live another 1/2 mile past me. It's a dead end. I have a gate but usually leave it open since I'm in and out a lot with equipment and hauling brush home. I have a sawmill...

I can see a few uses for one of these.

I could have used one of these Friday.

I've been getting in to rigging rings lately and splicing my own slings to make exactly what I want. I can see a lot of options with this ring. Is a Beast ring good enough? Triple ring sling? Bend right ring? I'm looking into options for a terminal rigging point for possibly heavy loads. I was...

I finally bought a vacuum packer. Was going to store some beans and rice and mainly for deer meat and hamburger and other meats. I ordered a few rolls of bags and some O2 absorbers. I vacuumed some rice last night and had a couple that leaked off overnight. I went back and cut the top off and...

I don't think I'd buy one but if one was given to me I'd find a place for it. Looks to be about 15% faster than. Silky.

This is an article that was written about my Great Grandpa Opal Cardin some years back. He was a character. A wolf trapper and a Game Warden. Almost everyone I run across has a story about him. He passed on when I was about 2 so I dont remember him. He and his wife are buried about 2 miles from...

In addition to a lxskllr's thread about the Rope Wrench. What do you use for your hitch? Hitch cord? Mechanical? Base tie or top tie? When and why? Redirects? SRT or Ddrt?

What do yall think about this? Would you trust it? I've not been around one of their saddles. Personally I think I would just shorten one of the rope bridges. I'm not going to buy one of these saddles I'm happy with mine. Just trying to find advantages and disadvantages.

Does anyone recommend any good suspenders for your saddle? And where to get them. Thanks.

I've recently found myself in an odd position. Got a call back in April about a tree on a house after a storm. I was on the other end of the county. My partner, who also owns his own business was in the area so I had him bid it. He got it. We worked the job. My policy is I get paid before I...

This older gentleman will flat go right to the tip top of a tree. I could use his help on some of those skinny pine tops.
