    Derrick rigging and redneck cranes

    Hello, Kyle! I was just starting to re-read this thread, and when I got to post #3 it said that the linked images could not be found. I don't know if it's a temporary glitch, or some other issue. I don't know if after all of this time you have any way of even knowing what the original...

    Exercise

    @Tree09; I logged in just to like your post. It would be a hoot to watch you mess with the guy. Tim

    Masterblaster aka Butch Ballowe III

    Hey, Jomo! It's funny you brought this up in this particular thread. Butch is the person who saved me with his advice on this very issue. Working in really hot, humid weather, I would get severe muscle cramping in both of my legs, every muscle. Didn't think I be able to continue climbing...

    Parts delay

    Hello, Kyle. @Tree09; This is going to sound like I’m massively sucking up, but I consider it a real privilege to be able to read what you write. Your presence on this forum adds a lot to the value of coming here, and I just want you to know I appreciate your contributions. The same goes...

    Why DRT?

    Hello, Richard. My statement about Daniel Holliday's approach was not intended as a slight to all of the rest of the tree climbers in the world who go through all of the trouble and effort to shoot and post videos of interest to the rest of the community. All of it is greatly...

    I’m a sucker for a bargain

    @Tree09; Forgive me if this is a derail. When you said "I'll have to try it out with mine", you were referring to the Reg Coates designed Arbor Trolley, were you not? If so, I was wondering if you could tell me how long you've owned the Arbor Trolley, and what your general impressions...

    Why DRT?

    @Treeaddict; Here's the link to the video I believe I recall seeing so long ago. Also, I'm going to try to provide a link to Daniel's own website. I think the guy is absolutely brilliant. On his own website his videos are grouped by subject matter. I think he may be the only person on the...

    Why DRT?

    Not me, but I think I saw a video once by Daniel Holliday of Climbing Arborist fame using a combination system in which he had an SRT line pulled up into the tree for ascent, and then hung a DdRT system off of the SRT rope using a hitch cord with a pulley on it for doing limb walks. I guess it...

    Wondering the same thing. Did anyone at the House ever try to send him a PM? I would have...

    Wondering the same thing. Did anyone at the House ever try to send him a PM? I would have thought that this was huge news. Tim. P.S. Hey, Jay! If you are ok, could you make a post to let us all know? Or if someone else close to him found his login data, maybe you could tell us all...

    Masterblaster aka Butch Ballowe III

    @Jomo; This is a link for the more expensive but better tasting stuff, sold in a 4 pack. Less work, nothing to mix up. Butch would drink a full bottle of the stuff before he started work on hot days, and I think maybe two more bottles during the work day. I started off using these ready to...

    “I'm 62 now, and muscle cramps are my biggest beef now.” @Jomo; Try this stuff, if you want the cheapest form of electrolyte possible. Also, you can try the much more expensive liquid form of electrolyte they sell in the baby care section of the supermarket. Stops cramping almost instantly...

    In The News...

    Thanks for that link, Paul. That is an astonishing article. Tim

    Lumberjack’s Photography

    @lumberjack; Also, I just noticed on reading this again that you own a macro lens. That is really cool, and something I’ve never had the good fortune to own. Extension tubes, if they exist, can I think allow for even greater magnification. Beyond that are the bellows systems that allow you...

    Lumberjack’s Photography

    Wow, Carl! (@lumberjack) Thanks so much for that outstandingly thorough answer! I appreciate all of the time and effort you must have put into it. If it's ok with you, I'm going to keep a copy of your above post as a document to refer to during my reading on the subject. There is a lot of...
