    Starter rope

    I’ve tried local. I can only handle so much markup.

    Starter rope

    What’s even more shocking is that I’d prefer to buy ten starter ropes for a better price than I can buy two, and I actually thought someone else might want to do the same. If you prefer to pay more, be my guest. I keep spare starter ropes, spark plugs, bar nuts, bars, and chains on hand to...

    Starter rope

    I’ve never had a battery die on my saws though. 🤣

    Starter rope

    I had a starter rope break on me the other day. I always keep two or three spares in the truck so it was just a matter of about five minutes getting the saw back in action. The spares I had were a bit short (24”…not sure why they were cut so short). It worked but I had to be careful not to pull...

    Throw line skills, tips, tricks, techniques

    I think I bought my last ones from Wesspur, though I'm not positive. I have bought a couple off Amazon. The last couple I've bought are okay, as far as the cube itself is concerned, but the holes in the corners are big enough for a stray cat to get into, it seems. I am exaggerating, for sure...

    Contract climber rate?

    I don’t know about all localities, but it is not illegal to work without liability insurance where I live and work. Very foolish to do so, but not illegal. License, certification, insurance….all can be bought…and none (of their own worth) make one a professional.

    Contract climber rate?

    I deleted it since Sean refused to answer the question. I wanted to know what he meant by “working illegally”. Working without liability insurance is not “illegal”. Illegal implies criminal activity.

    Mentoring New Climbers

    I ran an Asplundh crew for 2-1/2 years. I climbed alongside my crew frequently. I got very bored just watching.

    Springsteen goes full Dylan against the cold ICE in Minneapolis

    Here’s Pretti the week before. I guess Bruce missed this one. https://fox11online.com/news/local/new-video-shows-alex-pretti-appear-to-spit-on-break-tail-light-of-federal-agents-vehicle-green-bay-minneapolis-protest-immigration-cnn-broken-rib-gun-department-homeland-security-border-patrol-ice

    Springsteen goes full Dylan against the cold ICE in Minneapolis

    Bruce ain’t the one I turn to for political interpretation…🤣 Perhaps he should have joined some of those other folks who packed their duds and ran off to another country to take up residence.

    I’ve been watching videos of this youngun for a while now. Talented for sure.

    Helmet question

    Pfanner Protos here. I really like them. They're pricey though.

    How'd it go today?

    Nearly same scenario in 2019 while turning in to McDonalds in a nearby town. Young guy wasn’t paying attention. Several folks stepped forward and said they saw the whole thing.

    How'd it go today?

    I was watching him up until I made the swing. He was a good bit behind me. I’d turned my turn signal on nearly a quarter mile before the turn, while he was a couple hundred yards back. It appeared he was braking to give me time/apace. I think it was either inattention or he thought he could...
