I think I'm done with the pitchy trees til winter unless something non optional pops up. I should have known better, and taken more precautions, but now I know how bad it can get.

On the subject of removing pitch from gear... Is it absolutely necessary? Doing my pine this weekend, everything locked up tight from pitch. It was pretty much unusable. I'm checking out some of my gear now, and it seems... not so bad. Will I regret it if I try to use my stuff, especially...

Are there any general guidelines for finding seeds in cones, eg length of time after forming, stuck to the tree or not, so on... I've looked a few times, and never saw any seeds.

I think you might be disappointed :^D

Out this way I'd say white pine. I always joked that you only had to walk near one to get sticky, but damned if I wasn't on a job last year where I was checking out the trees while getting ready to do perc tests, and got sticky fingers after walking under a white pine. I touched nothing on the tree!

Anyone try powder on pitch spots? Maybe talc or cornstarch. A little plastic bottle would be easy to stow on the saddle. Maybe a rock climbing chalkbag, but I think that might not workout.
