This happened today (7/29/24) in the Albany area of NY. A&J Tree removal. According to some news reports an arborist was riding the ball and survived with no injury. Reportedly no injury to anyone. I pray these reports are accurate and everyone is Ok...
I am very inexperienced so go easy on me! I am probably missing something obvious.
I have been changing chains on my rear handle saw for several years with no problem.
I got a top handle Husqvarna T435 with 12” bar a few years ago from Amazon. I use it infrequently. I have been sharpening the...
I got some Samson Vortex remnants from Wesspur. spliced two dead eye slings. I am noticing a couple of places where the eye looks slightly less full. I don’t know if some pounding with a rubber mallet would even that out?
Do any of you watch videos on repairing saws? What’s out there good?
I know very little and I want to learn something. I have tried a couple of repairs but they did not go well. I discovered this Canadian YouTube channel today and it seems like this shop is very methodical with diagnosis. It’s...
I enjoyed August Huneke interview with Jerry Beranek a long time ago. It is on August’s YouTube. Jerry talked about doing pole climbing in Vietnam. Today I discovered some pictures and stories from that time on a FaceBook group called MA Bell. I will post here for the enjoyment of all who are...
@TreeMuggs usually puts a short reel like this out and later follows up with a longer video with some explanation. The visual clarity and the purpose driven camera work in this one exceeds what I usually see in the average action tree videos.
Chris Girard’s informative articles led me to search this out. Working w/Cranes: What You Need to Know – TreeBuzz - https://www.portal.treebuzz.com/working-wcranes-what-you-need-to-know-1285
Chris had mentioned in comments that snap cuts have fallen out of favor with leaders in crane use...
How many ways do you know to tie the bowline? I learned the rabbit and hole and tree version in Boy Scouts. Then I learned the better way (according to many) used by sailors and arborists. This involves tying an overhand knot and “capsizing” it to create the rabbit already through the hole...
We have a Maple growing over our garage. It is shaded by larger trees on all sides except the garage side. It has been sending so many branches in that direction that some of them crossed and are rubbing each other. I wanted to remove all the crossed branches but only had time for one yesterday...
I would never consider this challenge…and nobody asked me to either.🙂. Just curious how you would approach it? It’s right beside a busy 4 lane street across from a high school. It broke off in the storm Thursday night. Here it is, Monday. I drove by Friday and was afraid of it falling on my car...
I have been parking under the same trees for about 20 years. I get all kinds of debris on my van. Once a squirrel tail ripped off by a predator. This year there is something new, sticky like a mist coming down all the time. April, May and June. It’s hard to get off with water. Once I get it off...

So I just got my new Wesspur catalog. Always interested to see what is new. I don't know how I did not hear about this. Has anyone tried one of these new wrenches? It sounds like you can mid-line attach easier.
Thought some might be interested. I was. It’s a long video and I am just getting started. Paul is talking about using two climbing lines throughout the work climb, not because it’s mandated in UK— but because it makes sense for him. The part that got me interested was something that Lawrence...
