Burnham, good measures. Is it so that one must perpendicular park a pick-up truck by backing in with Gov't or USFS vehicles? Visibility is bad backing out. When backing in, one controls the lane of traffic, as opposed to being the one required to yield. In an emergency, a person should be...

lefty onehanded hunt and peck before, a few minutes ago, now the right is free, so more punctuation, and no txt-ish quickies.

sop for me for passenger, who is likely going 2 have to get out in 1 minute anyhow, 2 be an extra set of eyes. shouldnt have 2 baby driver, but way cheaper and easier than fixing something broken. no down time for repairs. no traffic ticket 4 a broken lens,etc. cheap, money saving sop. makes...

thx stig

yes Stig, for the production faller, it makes all the sense to carry the proper gear. for anybody that wants to try it, they can, if they take the time to cut some onsite if they dont have the proper shims along,somewhat akin to cutting springboards from limbs. for residental work, keeping some...

cut wood blocks out of your facecut or other solid wood rather than carrying around shims to remote locations

Stig, In your elm pic, I see two stacked wedges on top of the near stack of shims. Please explain.

We hvae elms at my house, and I know of some in Olympia, as well as reports of some dead from DED in Buckley, WA. I'm hoping to be too far away from other elms to have beetles fly my way.

Anybody seen some type old steel shims use back-when with old growth falling and know what they are called? I've had them described to me by my supervisor (58yo) who used to be the 'wedge boy' to some old fallers of big trees when he was young, maybe early twenties. I guess they had one...

Ropes can be easier SOMETIMES, but there really is something satisfying in pounding over a tree, especially a big backleaner.

That looks like the lift distance you'd get out of a Silvey tree jack. Maybe not the power, but way more than stacking wedges. Thanks.

Cool, thanks.

Jed, its Sean. Amy says the keys are hydration and smoothies. Other things that we've picked up on are separating iron-rich foods and dairy, as calcium inhibits iron uptake. Protein rich foods are good, and often people don't get as much as they should. We are a carbaholic nation. With the...

What material do you use for your shims, Stig? How much max lift have you gotten on your backcut?

I thought it would be very screwy head to toe, somehow, but people use shims this way (head to toe) in carpentry, and old school rock climbers chocks/ stoppers/ nuts this way in parellel cracks. Effectively, this is making a thicker, dual taper wedge. Where do dual taper wedges work best...

So I am looking at p 332 and am trying to picture what you mean here, especially not knowing the shapes of these brands and sizes. "I can then double up both 110s which will loosen up the 7d and flip it upside down and mate the bottom flat part of it to the Scottsco and get more lift"...
