It would be nice if you could choose your bridge option when you purchase. I like the shackle to sewn mini webbing with a ring.

Nice video.

I have a silver maple infected with Armillaria. What is it and where do get the inoculant?

Shelby stanga is the reason I like to watch as well. Did you see that episode last season where a cottonmouth bit him a bunch of times? That guy is crazy beans for sure.

Looks interesting. Watcha want for it?

That makes me think of the plankton in sponge bob square pants. Maybe they have already taken over the world.

That white one looks like mother goose from my vantage. Here in Idaho, seems like winter was here only a few weeks. Now with the days getting noticeably longer seems as if spring is just around the corner. I just finished putting the finishing touches on two yards of compost. It's super...

Gears of War I play when time allows. Sometimes get wrapped up in it but I can be just as neglectful when working on a garden idea or building a deck.

Doing a little false removal is key. If that doesn't work smoothly then I will take a full wrap around the stem just above the desired crotch.

Those kilns are cool. It would be cool to know some history on them. Along with old pictures of the men and environment.

I don't think a friction saver could be incorporated into this technique though.

Here it is photographed with phone out of art and science of practical rigging. I have used it with a regular bowline. I should use the one pictured. Looks like it could take a bit more abuse.

If I remember right it takes two rigging lines with the one holding the block having a large loop in the end, tied with a normal bowline. I think I learned it in the art and science of practical rigging. It'll be a good refresher for me.

Done. One 15, one 25, and one 40. Now to stack some firewood.

I just do not like coming to the end and wishing I had more. Last one was 15, this one is 25. Maybe just whip up a 15 as well. Seem to like the 15 for most things. Then I have a 40' with a hitch climber and a distel that has not seen a lot of use lately.
