HH and HH2 here.

I use the maasdam often. I like, when possible, getting the pull line as high as high can get, somewhat bow the top over, as the back cut is made the tree straightens it's self, into the lay. Only good on green green green healthyish wood. Got decay or defects I rely on the stretch of the rope...

old Camo paint from the army. Anyone who used it knows it's pretty impossible to remove. ;)

Ha! That's awesome!!!

No solid answers here, I'm wondering myself.

Another maple, pretty much every stem had this.

Just a few pics, external and internal. Thought it might be of interest.

I've only been in situations where I'd top and brush the tree, if it's a heavy leaner, I'd chunk it down, but I sometimes leave some branches to favour the intended direction of fall. Add a pulley you have 3000lb pull. It's not an answer for every situation, but it's the answer for the ones I...

Maasdam rope puller is what I use.

I feel that the cursing tends to loosen up the snag, but that's just me. ;) Well, that and pulling at different angles.

Are points awarded for excessive cursing or showing a measure of restraint?

The finger stretches have given me some positive results. Thanks all.

Avoiding craps and sore fingers, it's a good thing. :lol:

My day gig is an electric motor mechanic, yes, a lot of hand tools, been shifting to larger easier to handle tools to avoid gripping (ie nut drivers), my fingers don't tend to curl, I like them flat when I'm at rest, doin' nothin'. Past 4 years been climbing part time, usually once or twice a...

These are what I am using,(from Australia, they have to be good!!!) 1 package per 200ml. When I have them in my truck on the seat the girlfriend always takes a second glance at them, sometimes she thinks they are condoms.

Not gatoraid, it's powdered electrolytes add to water, right next to pedialyte, but hey, I'll try anything a few times! I've already seen my Doctor about it, he's so concerned that he's going to watch me trim his trees and suggest treatment........ hey wait a minute.......:/:

Cramping and contracting into a claw, yes on the high as possible TIP, pedialyte no, but some powder equivalent from the pharmacy at least 1L before the job. I have a petzl chest harness I'll probably start using a bit more, keep upright with that instead of my hands.

Yes, both foot and knee. I've been doing some stretching but not as in depth as the links provided (which I will do now, thanks!) and have been taking electrolyte additive to my water from the pharmacy, as well as a banana or two before a climb. I'm on a full 1/2inch rope. Luckily 4 hours...

The video is blocked in Canada, SME copyright it says. I'll just try to imagine it. ;)
