    Which chainsaw protection pants?

    Of all the climbing pants that provide cut protection which ones do you guys like the best? I am thinking about trying a pair for when I go back to falling. They won?t really be used for climbing. I use to use chap inserts that went inside my pants but they are no longer allowed. I don?t...

    Buddy's Outdoor Thread/pictures

    I went on a hike today and took a bunch of pictures. I will post a few right now and some later. In the center of the first picture is a doug fir tree, just to the left of the top of the tree you can barely make out 2 tan colored spots. Those are the elk in the other 2 pictures. The first is...

    Treestuff gift certificate

    If anyone purchases anything from treestuff don?t forget to add the free gift certificate to your cart. I bought almost $900 worth of stuff yesterday afternoon and didn?t see that offer and when I called and asked about it this morning they said I was to late. It would have been a $100 gift...

    Triple hinge sizwheel fail

    I had a heavy leaning doug fir that I tried the triple hinge on. It failed miserably but I blame the frozen tree, rotten center and the more than average heavy lean. I had a line tied in it to but the tree didn't move very far before I got slack in the line and that was all she wrote, right...

    What caused this defect in the ponderosa?

    As you can see in the pictures almost every large limb on this pine had a dead strip on the top of it for about 24" out from the trunk. My guess is that there is a high probability that this tree is rotten in the center but I don't know for sure. I had to take the dead top out of it today...

    Tree top sealing, is it necessary?

    I wasn't sure how to title this thread. I have to remove a dead top from a ponderosa pine today and I was curious if there is anything I could cover it with or seal it with that would help prevent any future rot? Or maybe it will pitch out and seal itself.

    The Water Bottle Challenge

    I want to challenge you guys to place a water bottle on something or near something that you don't want to hit when falling or topping a tree. Post up some pictures of the aftermath. You can even set a bottle out where you think a tree is going to top out. I'm not real picky on how you do it...

    Trail clearing

    I spent yesterday out in the mountains clearing some trail. It was suppose to be a 2 day trip but I returned home late last night. I left the pickup yesterday morning at 8am. It's a 2 hours drive from the house and while I would have liked to have gotten an earlier start I didn't feel like...

    What's a good pitch remover for rope?

    Working a job right now and the pine pitch is killing me. I literally have to pry my hands off my saw to get rid of it and my ropes are getting coated in it. I have one lanyard that is refusing to adjust, it just sticks! So is there a rope soap that will cut the pitch?

    Some kind of rope grab?

    I have had these for a few years, got them with a bunch of random stuff from a guy I was helping move. Anyone familiar with them? They obviously aren't real modern, they aren't painted pretty enough.

    Dump Trailer???

    I am thinking that the next tool I need to add is a dump trailer. The most time consuming part of the work I have been doing so far is cleanup and if I could just dump the mess instead of hand throwing it all over again, that would be awesome. Do you guys have any recommendations for size or...

    I have a confession to make...

    So, I have started my own tree service business. It's a legitimate business, registered with the state and I also have insurance. It's only a 3 day a week job because I work for the Idaho Dept of Lands the other 4. Most of my jobs have been pine removals so far with one cottonwood that the...

    Flop or top?

    The motel owner in town wants me to remove a spruce tree that sits in the parking lot. This working around asphalt driveways and parking lots makes me nervous because I haven't worked around it enough to know what it will handle. I will provide some pictures if you guys wouldn't mind providing...

    How do paved driveways tolerated falling trees?

    Of the thousands of trees I have fallen I can't ever recall falling any of them on pavement. I have a few to fall on and across a driveway and I'm wondering if I need to take any precautions?

    Homemade port a wrap

    I got off work early today and decided I would build a new port a wrap instead of buy one. The materials only cost $15, way cheaper than buying one. I have some more polishing to do on it and then I will hit it with a little paint.
