(might have missed it) Got a good First Aid kit?

My little green ISC block gets used a whole lot more than my DMM one. And if you are gonna be doing any natural crotch rigging, you would be better off using 1/2" Arbormaster than that Stablebraid. The Stablebraid cover picks and frays on rough bark too much for my liking.

I welded up something similar, Steve. The ratchet strap eliminates all wiggle. Also have a vise mounted on chipper fender. Those little stump vises certainly work well. Particularly nice if you have a high stump so you're not stooped over.

I believe you! You savage.

The clean up is about as enjoyable as the grinding. Would prefer to do neither, given my reluctance to do tedious, monotonous, boring work. It is on par with picking rocks off a field / piling stone on a hay wagon after plowing...

Jose, I own a small (Rayco Super Junior w. 25hp Kohler engine) stump grinder. The last couple of years I've used it as few times as possible.....the bloom is off the rose. It is about as fun to run as watching grass grow, even if the teeth are sharp. They don't stay sharp long - this is rocky...

Jose, if you are gonna invest 10 hours screwing around with a stump, I think becoming an archaeologist might be a promising career for you.

Am content with a ZigZag, but a Blakes hitch paid my mortgage for a lot of years. Suprising how novice climbers have just gotta have the latest and greatest gadgets and gizmos. The best of everything. guys with all the fancy shiny gear. Kids nowadays! Makes me wonder how I ever got so much...

1/2" Arbormaster is what I use (for rigging) about 90% of the time, Jose. Have never tried vertical speed lining yet. Been doing this stuff for almost 30 years. Go figure.

Hola, amigo! Glad you're still amongst the living, Jose.

Sorry for your loss, Jose

I frequently just use a ladder & small chainsaw than struggle with a pole saw. I rarely use a polesaw in a tree. Also have a Stihl telescoping model (131?) that tends to wear me out (shoulders) worse than going up and down a ladder. 1/2" rigging rope is all you need, Jose. Particularly at this...

My wife would be very upset with me if we lived only a short drive away from that place. :D Ordered a Sequoia last Fall after Expo, and it was back ordered for about a month or so. I called them thinking the order might have got lost in cyberspace, and Nick offered to ship me a TreeMotion for...
