Anyone headed to the baltimore expo? Im registering/booking a hotel tomorrow. Does anyone going or familiar with the area have hotel recommendations? I'm thinking about the "host hotel" just to make things easier, but it is more pricey. I'd love to meet up with some fellow housers while I'm...

I've read the basic tricks for rope tending with a foot ascender: Set someting heavy on the rope Tie something (rope bag) to the rope Have someone hold it Has anyone tried clipping to a carabiner on the rope bag and clipping the tail back to your saddle? Just to clarify, the tail from your...

Or I am putting together an estimate for removing 8 or 9 stumps for a regular client, I had mentioned it briefly in another thread and I felt it needed its own thread so I can ask for help. It was mentioned by Sawman that stumps locally (he's about 1.5 hr drive from me) are $5 per inch. So...

This is probably a dumb question, but I feel not asking would be even dumber. . Is it too late to prune maples? I've been trying to get together with my client for about a month now, and we are meeting next tuesday (jan 19th). Assuming he approves my estimate, I'd like to do the job later in...

I'm looking for a lightweight ground saw for my dad. He works with me pretty often, and is very fond of his old homelight, with the 2 position handle (dual triggers). My echo cs450P gets a little heavy for him when cutting up limbs on the ground and it is overkill for cutting limbs to reduce...

I got my runner about a month ago and love it. However, I am having issues getting it to tend nicely, and I am considering getting a new climb line (not because of the tending issue). I am climbing on Tachyon that I got in a bag-o-rope and its under 100 ft long, closer to 75 I think. So I am...

I am the proud new owner of this '04 F250 Does anyone have recommendations on building a chip box for it? I have a load handler and am planning on putting the sides inside the wheel wells to better fit the load handler and then build tool storage into the outside of the box. Other than that...

I have climbed 2 trees now in the new tribe onyx, and it was not the armchair comfort I was expecting. I hung from it and my current rock climbing harness back to back off a beam in my basement, and it is a whole different ballgame than my rock climbing harness. Moving up to a tree specific...

I have discovered lately that I am severely overloading my trailer on a regular basis and need to upgrade. I am looking at around 16 ft trailers with dual axles and electric brakes. Their gvw's go beyond what my 4runner can pull (trailer I am looking at is 7000lb, truck maxes out at 5000), but...

I'm sure this has been beaten around like the proverbial dead horse, but here goes. . I currently have a 2 echos, 355t and 450P. I love them both and have no issues with them, but I am considering buying a larger felling saw. The 450 has an 18" bar on it, so I wish I had more bar pretty...

I have the husqvarna sawpants, and they are due for a washing. The tag says hand wash, but that sounds labor intensive, I try to save that for actual work involving money at the end. I was thinking setting the washing machine for a full load and only putting in the pants and a few shirts and...

I struggle with bids, and after completing a recent job that went way beyond scope and as such way beyond original estimate, I realized that I am not only guessing at how long something will take, I also don't know how much to charge for the labor hours. With all the hourly figures in front of...

I am looking at ordering a 9/16 Sterling Atlas rigging line (unless there is sufficient argument for something else) and I don't know if I should get a splice on it or not. I figure I'll be retiring my climbing line this summer and can use that as a rigging line (close to 1/2") so i'm going a...

I've been adding tree removal to my mowing service and its been going well so far, working a bit here and there and adding equip very slowly. As I get more work coming my way I realize more things that I don't know, such as. . When is the best time to prune trees and how is it best done? I am...
