Dang! It's been a while since I've logged in, too long! I've been plugging away business wise, I now have two full time guys, one of whom is my brother. It'll be 5 years in business in November, time just flies! I've got three little munchkins now, Tay (8), Ryker (5), and Nash (3), all of whom...

My friend and I are having a mild bet. The query is whether the helmet David Driver wears in the video 'INTRO X-RIGGING RINGS video part ONE' is a Kask or a pfanner. Please help me out!!

Not my first choice, but I've been renting the damn thing for so long it feels like I already own it. Well, looking at the papwerwork, had I bought it last year when I started renting it I would nearly have it paid off by now!! 2004 BC1000XL with 2550 hrs on it, 85 hp cummins diesel. Paid 13.5k...

I find myself in the market for a chipper. Looking for a 12" Bandit with a winch, but quality (as in not Vermeer) 12-15 inch capacity with a winch will do! Anyone know of anything out there?

The Man Who Planted Trees: Lost Groves, Champion Trees, and an Urgent Plan to Save the Planet A great book if anyone has the time, or inclination. Here is David Milarch's Tedx Talk... <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3DsHHfu4_co?feature=player_detailpage"...

I give up! I've been trying to figure out the name of this danged shrub for years. I'm sure Paul is laughing at me...help!

I work for the manager at this resort. This bigleaf maple has problems. Site History/notes/observations: Many trees surrounding the maple have been removed in the last 10 years, due to pine beetle, or windthrow. The tree was not formerly mulched, the mulch has been added in the last...

I'm reading a book by Callum Coates, called Living Energies. Excellent read, and I've unearthed a great little tidbit I thought you fellow tree folk might appreciate. The following was formulated by a man called Walter Schauberger in the 1970's. During the course of its life, this 100 year old...

Some of you, like myself, enjoy landscape design and installation as supplementary business. I have come across a great product which I am currently using in a few of my projects. Its called 'Bender Board.' Its made from recycled plastic, so there is a kind of pat yourself on the back mentality...

Anybody have one they'd like to part with? Or know anybody who has access to one? I know, strange request and not likely that you all have one. Long story short, I need one, and they're hard to find around here.

I just picked up a new pair of boots from my arbo-supplier in Calgary. So far so good, but they haven't been up a tree or been beat up for a solid 6 months yet. http://www.haix-bootstore.com/forestry-boots/protector-light Really comfy, super light, but probably won't be the best for being on...

Happy Tree Day! I know there is an Arbor Day in most states, but Sept. 21, 2011 was declared to be Canada's first National Tree Day. Pretty exciting...right? We donated and planted a small Tartarian maple at a local elementary school today. Pics to come.

So, the fellas were out yesterday with the forestry unit while I did estimates, and I had left my climbing gear and rope bag on the top of the hydraulic oil resevoir (storage is at a premium on that truck) from the day before. Well today I went to grab my gear and was informed that my rope bag...

So, yesterday I was pruning a walnut and td'ng a siberian elm. All day in the bucket. Around 2:30 I was just taking the top outta the elm; cut, hold and swing boom to drop limb. I tweaked my back a little on the top and though little of it, muscle strain perhaps. Finished the day, but even my...

Maybe not threadworthy, but I took a pilot exam earlier in the year and passed. Went in there with a pretty vague idea of what kind of material the test would cover and somehow managed to get an 80% when the min. pass was 70%. Not bad for a bumpkin. The exam was the culmination of a long process...

I'm about to go and look at a young Plane Tree in Summerland which a strata is hoping to get an appraisal on before the tree is removed and was wondering if any folks here who have given appraisals on trees in the past might have some advice to offer me. I may have to step aside on this one due...

Hey all, Well I gotta start by saying that I've been on the buzz for a few years now and I've been kinda lurking here checking it out for a while now. I gotta say it seems like a pretty tight crew and the camaraderie is palbable. I'm just a young buck (24) and I love working with trees. I've...
