Use to climb a ton. Still regularly hit up some simple ridge climbs in the 5-5.6 range. I like them I can move quickly and cover some ground. Usually it's only a few hard moves between scrambles. Started getting back to the climbing gym a bit this winter. I'd like to get back to climbing a bit...

Good feedback. I’m a small build. Not looking to get a new harness. Mines fairly new. Monkey beaver does look nice. Do you use the monkey beaver shoulder harness?

Hey, I have a petzl sequoia srt saddle. Looking for a shoulder harness recommendation that will actually take the load off my hips. Carrying around a bigger saw lately and really noticing the weight. The Courant koala chest and Tree Austria shoulder caught my eye. Anyone have experience with...

How many of you using a power pole saw regularly? Was it worth getting? Any recommendations on brand? Wondering if I’ll end up using it more than I thought or just watch it collect dust apart from that one cut a year I need it for.

Anyone use any apps or gadgets for tracking mileage on your vehicles? One of my vehicles is more mixed use versus just business and the accountant wants me to start tracking. Obviously pen and paper is simple but wanted to see if anyone is using sometime simple and basic. Thanks,

This is essentially what I did. I am sure it will be fine as I have already gotten other jobs from them after politely declining.

I'm not too concerned about the odd new client. In those cases I will put a crazy number or simple let them know I don't have time in my schedule for the work. It's more when and contractor or municipality that I work for keeps sending me jobs and it starts to be too much or I simple don't want...

Hey, Anyone have some good email script for declining work? I'm starting to come across more work that I just don't want anymore. Whether it be for staffing reasons, work load or it's just a tree that's I'm not into. I don't want to burn any bridges, so I'm looking for a good way to respond...

I will play with a shallower face cut. Good advice

Glad to hear a few other opinions.
