Co-owner. Other ground men have steel toed boots, climbers wear Arbortec climbing boots, but don't change out once they're on the ground. :? I'm puzzled that both Kyle and Justin are getting on to me for making the same elective, conscious choice they chose to make in their respective...

You could "accidentally" knock another (low value) tree over while felling, and then they add the chipping/brush removal to the work order. Of course, this is just theory... August's last video showed a freebie penance tree, but there could be graceful ways to monetize such situations... :/:

I've always lamented the westernized wheelbarrow that is virtually unchanged from the Dark Ages design wherein the laborer does a good portion of the lifting (lever/fulcrum principles). The Asian designs were far superior with balanced loads directly over the larger wheel. This variety at least...

Mine would have to be custom made, due to the width issue. Footwear is a constant problem for me, as I wear shoes out in 3-6 mo. typically. But ill fitting footwear is also brutalizing my ankles and arches, and the rigid foot makes bending my foot difficult (esp. on terrain), so it's a vicious...

I don't expect a composite toe to stop a saw -- that's why I don't keep my feet in harm's way; saw's going to hit dirt or pavement between my feet if it drops. The hard toes are for stick kicking, notch kicking, log rolling, crush resistance when something falls off the chipper, etc.

Just got a pair of these New Balance Industrial boots: Liking them a lot after just one afternoon of stump grinding. They feel very rugged, durable, waterproof, very good traction, and even at 4E width, feel decent on my wide toes!

Being so wide footed, I can't buy retail. I have to special order my size, and usually stick with a shoe model I know fits, generally New Balance since not much else is hitting 6E widths. So I make sure the online seller offers returns/exchanges.

If Tom can jump a couch, surely people can jump a log to limb the backside. <iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/9rnSh46IvgcdW" width="480" height="361" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/tom-business-career-9rnSh46IvgcdW">via...

These stats are pretty old (36,000 injuries annually in the US), but do show the breakdown by part of the body: Leg injuries are 8:1 compared to foot injuries. I was surprised to see that hand and arm injuries are comparable to (and exceed) leg injuries. I would suspect that being due to people...

Exactly my thinking re: chainsaw protective gloves & boots -- if you're hitting the back of your hand doing ground work, something is seriously wrong with your technique -- two hands on the saw, full thumb wrap on the wrap around handle. If you're hitting your shoes, your stance is likely off...

No, normal steel toe work boots -- but they're a bit stiff -- thinking of composite toe for the next pair. I highly doubt anyone makes anything in my width (6E) for specific chainsaw boots. Not planning on sleeping in the bed of Procrustes. Our climber has these climbing boots from TreeStuff --...

I have wide feet, so I have a pair of New Balance work boots that are doing okay for me. Before that, I had a pretty resilient pair of Keene steel toe work boots that would fit normal feet very well, just not quite wide enough for me to be comfortable all day. For gloves, we've found the Hardy...
