Easily could have supported another tree.

Could've planted another tree in it.

Put this poor tree out of its misery today. What looks like limbs on the right is actually top that just folded over.

Is that a Welch plug? Did you loctite the throttle butterfly screw? I have a 200 that needs some work.

Ditto

And people complain about standing in spurs. Ha!

That’s a bit high level- face after back cut. And using a machete/cleaver?!?:\:

A couple years ago one of my 192T was bogging down, didn't do anything with it since I was spending more time taking care of my Dad, anyway tree work looks like it'll pick up, so I went looking for just an o ring for the accelerator pump, Stihl no help, Rubberline was no help, damn if Princess...

Frightenedly awesome :).

Live unprotected electric cables btw.

Here is one thread... https://www.masterblasterhome.com/threads/worlds-best-most-expensive-tree-climbing-spurs.18064/

A subject with much coverage here over the years. I think it's about the best possible way to gaff yourself, but others disagree :).

Both ways have been done...I learned it first with a small face, but Gerry learned it without a face. I have used both techniques with success.

Yup. Here's a link to one thread on the subject, at a post from me describing the technique. The search function can find several more threads on determining tree height. https://www.masterblasterhome.com/threads/angle-of-the-dangle.10360/page-3#post-232327

Spurring is undoubtedly a necessary skill. A foot ascender to tend slack, yes. A ropewalker needs gaff guards or put gaffs on in the tree. A preset climbing rope with a ladder is another way to get past a large butt or crotch.

i have the that book and the way i saw it in my head when i read that part was how u described doing it yourself, just assumed there was a face cut, but i guess not?

so im not very good at climbing on my spurs, I most of the time do this goofy thing where i have my hands on my TIP rope while stepping up and taking in the slack vs normal fliplining up. I need to practice normal flip lining. but for the time being i was wondering if anyone ever uses a foot...

so the laser i have is just a super basic one that tells distance and angles, not a forestry laser, what would be the cheapest tool i could get that i could find the height of the tree with? clinometer? is that what they are called i cant remeber

Yup.
