    Trimming a previously topped tree

    Just rope climb. The idea of spur climbing comes from laziness IMO. Poor trees have been through enough. Ensure your work benefits them, not harm them further.

    i broke my spar (with tip)

    I’ve always said that the tree inspection begins with just simply approaching the tree and looking at it. Then, touching it, snapping off some sprouts, thumping it with yer spurs (if it’s a removal), then feeling how the spurs dig in. Does the tree flex and move while climbing? Or is it rigid...

    Battery powered backpack leaf blower

    So to summarize the Stihl endorsement, “almost as good as the BS600”. Any off brands that really scrub heavy coverings of packed in litter?

    Soft shackles

    They are fun to make and fearsomely strong depending on what line you use. I made a couple of them to add to my off-road recovery gear. Check out the wall and crown knot

    Craigs list

    Is craigslist now not the cool place to go and look for stuff to buy? Or is there a better listing that I should know about?

    That’s price gouging!

    Person goes into the dentist, 15 minutes later there’s a bill for 800 bucks. Person complains, Dentist says “next time should I not use the Novocain? Or the harbor freight tooth scraper? Or how about I use the homeless guy that’s looking for work to clean your teeth?

    When do leaves stop producing?

    …and then the leaves breakdown on the ground and supply nutrients to the tree via composting. Nothing is wasted. (Until some rabid landscaper does their work with the blower)
