I think new and changing gear is a good thing. If getting from point a to point b means less fatigue then anything you have to perform is going to be more efficient. Less stress on the body and more awareness. Basics are good but improvements are better.

Hey gerry it's the saying proper terminology promotes clear communication, but they have to be willing to learn the terminology first. Probably worked out for the best, I think your book is perfect. My mantra is : ten feet higher, wow I made it, ten feet higher wow my hearts still working etc...

I've been climbing all winter. Getting better I think and more confident. I'm using the hitchclimber pulley system and really enjoying it. I've been trimming trees, just friends and family sort of things. Light rigging and set up a half ass speed line just to see if it would work. Since losing...

A friend of mine did the same thing. Jumped the last three rungs and got her wedding ring caught. Ripped the finger clean off. Her son came running into the barn when he heard the screams. When he got there she told him to find her finger, held up her right hand and wiggled her fingers and told...

The very first time I tried climbing I got my rope up in the tree and did my bounce test. All of a sudden about ten things came crashing to the ground around me. It was then that I realized it was a walnut tree. A helmet was my next purchase!

I thought I was the only one that practiced on stumps!

Good evening. I'm looking to buy a new saw. One for cutting firewood and general work around the farm. Stihl has the ms 250 on sale,60 dollars off the normal price. I've read the publics reviews and it sounds good, but I wanted to check here before I buy it. I value the tree housers views way...

There are a lot of them here in Missouri. We hunt for them here on the farm. They usually have their heads down rooting around in the creek or spring banks. Do a lot of damage. We have open season here like Ray said,365 days a year. Good eating, especially if you bury them and let them cook for...

A little! I'm working on lough Erin shore now. It's a song by the irish group the corrs. I bought a tuner and leave it on while I'm playing to see how close to the notes I'm getting. Different world than the guitar.

Yep Ibanez is made in Japan and has been since the 1930s. Before then it was started in Spain by salvadore Ibanez in the late 1800s. He made the first double neck guitar before 1900. I think he died in the early 1920s and about ten years later his family sold the business. That figures! The...

I bet it's worth it. Especially if you just love to play and it doesn't slip out of tune. Mine cost about 1500 in late 90s. I'm kind of afraid to get it out actually. I say get it. Worth a try

Checked out the site. Lot of pretty inexpensive copies. I like how it says chibsons! Ha. May be worth trying out a 200 dollar chelecaster. My 100 hondo still plays good and it's 30 years old. It's a strat copy.

Nice! I love ibanez. Good sound and fast fretboard. I had an older ibanez electric that my oldest son inherited. Floyd rose tremolo. He's into really hard stuff now. I showed him crazy train when he was 12 and now he's playing music by bands that sound like terrorist groups.

Sorry 2x8s! Yep dio gives me a headache now!

I've got an ibanez acoustic electric, an Alvarez acoustic, a white les Paul classic, a Jackson electric and an old hondo electric I started on. A little peavey amp and an old sunn sound system two 4x12s and two 4x8s. And a Chinese fiddle kit!!!
