Only decent cut I've gotten has been from a Silky -- a series of definite punctures. The 395 dog puncture of my kneecap wasn't too bad by comparison -- more of a blunt instrument.

This one sure is. If it were real, imagine the look on the girl's face after she gets spattered with "bar oil," googles or no goggles!

Back to the original question You know you're a tree climber... when this is your idea of carving a turkey: Simply clean out all the bar oil reservoir, fill with basting oil, and you're good to go. Note that he's even one-handing it! Of course, this is my idea of carving a turkey with a...

I've gotten to where I can hit the pintle on the chip truck about 8 out of 10 with no spotter. Of course, one practice run mashed the light hookup cover. *sigh* Just keepin' me humble! We are thinking of adding the backup camera to the Garmin GPS system.

My dad actually had to do that once. 4 am, just getting off his factory job after pulling a double shift, his 4 speed Datsun was stuck in reverse -- 5 miles from home. He went for it, made it home safely and without any police intervention!

We replaced the ignition on ours with a Bobcat one, so a replacement key is no problem. (And like Brian, our key stays in the chipper ignition. May as well super glue or thread lock it in place -- it's probably rusted in place anyway!)

Certifiable usually has a far different meaning around here... usually implying rubber rooms and straight jackets... :|:

MB, we have a couple of children's saddles, just didn't have them for the spur-of-the-moment park adventure. So it was more the improvisation method for sure. Stephen, our foreman started climbing when he was 12. His dad (tree surgeon [remember that quaint term?] for Davey Tree in Virginia)...

All that to say, I think the 65 lb. and 90 lb. children were well within safe working limits of the available equipment. Geez, I thought you were going to chide me about turning a 9 year old loose aloft with a Silky...

It's a steel carabiner that we usually use for medium lowering duties, not actually a climbing 'biner. Hard to make out the writing on it, but it looks to have 2012 lbs. as the working load. Definitely heavier duty than this Rock Exotica, which is 50kN, 1011lbs. working...

Not sure what I was thinking -- the carabiner was 2,000 lbs. This is the rope. Eyelets spliced on both ends (except now it is 2 ropes :/: ). Tensile strength 7,100. Pulley is stamped "4000 lbs. Safe Working Load".

You take your children to the park to climb trees. Somehow a 7,000 lb. climbing line, 2,000 lb. carabiner, 4,000 lb. pulley and Silky hand saw get involved in that simple childish endeavor... :/:
