I need to bring this discussion back to life. I am slowly learning as I remove a large hackberry with several leaning leaders. Fortunately there are high tie in points. Still a challenge for me as I have little experience with leaners or gaffs. I tried on top and underneath… and then...

bump. A lot of useful tips in one place! One more from Beranek’s working climber series. If you can’t use the girth hitch 18” from the end and you need to use the pile hitch-half hitches-clove hitch method and the little rope tip beyond the clove hitch is bending over, use electrical tape to...

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick. It’s amazing how new phone cameras can get the tricky exposures. The picture of two people with the baby and the night sky draws me in like it’s telling a story.

One of my apprentices bought his first house recently. He is concerned about a tree partially overhanging a garage. I offered to look at it and prune or remove *if* I was confident that it was within my limited capabilities. I got the first picture today but have not yet viewed it in real life...

Anyone have any experiences to add from the last few years?

Good to meet you Wwallace52590 I have never tried the wrench. I have met a very good wrench climber from Illinois. He swears by the Fitch Hitch. See video.

I started out on a chilly early morning with a light pile jacket. As the sun rose I got overheated. Any tips for heat management when you have a variety of temperatures in one climb?

Is that little orange light inside the cavity daylight shining in?

I think the astranauts call that “extra vehicular activity” EVA

It’s weird how things can happen in a dream that seem totally unremarkable until you wake up and remember.

@Naturarbo How did you like the Freexion? Looking forward to your observations.

I had a family member ask me to remove a branch from a tree overhanging a fence like that. He was very concerned about this possibility. In order to ease his worries and also protect the fence points from rigging errors I built a sturdy wooden box to distribute the impact to the entire fence...

I am impressed you found part of document. That might be enough to satisfy my curiosity!

I would be curious to read this standard. The PDF costs $108.00 and I would rather spend that on gear than words. https://www.astm.org/f0887-20.html

I am still experimenting with a single adjustable bridge. For me it is mostly a convenience for donning and removing the saddle. For me, certification is not a requirement. This DMM may be the first opportunity for many to legally use an adjustable bridge. But, does it pass CE requirements...

I measured the main carabiner holes 15mm diameter and the center of that hole 17.5 mm from the edge of the Kydex radius. The tending hole is 12mm dia and the center 14mm from the edge of Kydex radius. I think there is some parallax in these images making the measurements look smaller. I am very...

Kyle, I really enjoyed reading your details about work positioning in industrial construction. I do the same in electrical but only rarely. Most of my work is commercial or light industry and we usually work in a lift or on the ground.

With my Hitchhikers I use the original hitchhiker hitch from Paul Cox’s instruction manual or the innovation hitch. I play with different knots on my lanyard but usually go back to VT or Michoacán. Those four are the only ones I really know. If I am playing with anything else I need to look up...
