I’ve been thinking about lessons, practices, and procedures learned to help mitigate mistakes because the mistakes had pretty annoying consequences. Please share your tree life lessons!!
1- Chainsaw fueling and oiling: Open cap, add gas, close cap. Open oil, add oil, close cap. Seems simple but I do it in that order for a reason. It has to be regimented. I’ve filled my gas tank with bar oil as well as moved the saw with caps open. I haven’t figured out a way to consistently avoid overflowing the tanks😁
2- If you miss your shot with the throw line it’s probably a good idea to remove the bag before pulling the line back if it’s over many branches. I have all the throw bags I purchased but I’ve had to climb to retrieve.
3- Don’t pull the spliced eye end through a tight crotch when retrieving your climb line. It can/will get stuck, requiring more climbing to get it out.
Let’s hear em!!
