    Forestry mulching vs clearing — what are you guys doing more?

    How to decide would be based on what the customer wants. I normally ask customers what their plans are and how they plan on maintaining the area in the years to come. We don’t do much clearing these days and we do even less mulching.

    Equipment purchasing. Financing or not?

    Liquidity squeezes are a real issue to watch out for, strong liquidity is a huge and undervalued asset for a business. Normally $15-30k gets paid out of pocket. In February: I financed a work pickup. I paid for the trailer and upfitting on that truck. In March: I paid off the 2022...

    The ice storm hit west and north of me, it was a non event here. I haven’t gone over to survey the damage but in general I’m glad I didn’t have it here and have to deal with working in it. I had 70 gallons of gas for the generators on hand and backup Internet in case the fiber got pulled down…...

    Biceps and forearms cramping

    I take magnesium glycinate, not specifically for cramping, but it's a probable aid there as well. Most of the cramping problems I had climbing were in the hot months. Is it possible with you being green that you're overexerting compared to what's required? Typically when I start something new...

    Sewn vs spliced eyes

    I don't reckon it would change the life span appreciably, unless I'm missing something?

    @SeanKroll , my barn for the equipment, roof and one wall to block the summer afternoon sun. Next year I'll probably add the other lean to and maybe enclose the middle for a work space, although I may build a separate structure for the shop. The only unique thing is a felt like material on the...

    splice failure

    I think strength would be compromised, an inch of pullout is bound to be most of the full diameter burry.

    splice failure

    A slipped splice is a failed splice. It's possible it could be reset, but cutting it off and resplicing is better logic.
