    Knot thread

    I scaffold knot into a biner with keyhole gate, not ledge gate. Fusion D steel. wesspur Half hitches ( or marls on brittle pieces) take the strain of the biner. If a piece breaks apart, marls cinch onto the wood. If the marl breaks the piece, you can get a knot.

    How'd it go today?

    Yay tires!! Boooooo rats!! Peppermint and dryer sheets are supposed to repel rodents. I've been dealing with rodents a little bit over the last decade. In a couple of days, there was rodent food waste (bird seed shells, but no germinated birds!) inside the engine compartment.

    Climbing the tree vs climbing a rope in the tree

    Hip stretching and anti-inflammatory. Dr google. I stand in my right leg more than my left. Tree work is asymmetrical.

    Climbing the tree vs climbing a rope in the tree

    So you're going up on the left or right side of the rope there? Do you scope it with binocs when it's that high up?

    Climbing the tree vs climbing a rope in the tree

    I dig it, great line of thought imo. As a 90's kid I am often nostalgic for those times. I've long been interested in the romanticizing of the past. Done it myself plenty, from my own life and from times I'd never experienced. In the end I decided now was by far the best time for me to be...

    Tear-limiting undercut near the collar near the base first in case of premature limb failure. The offset is large enough to prevent interfering with the release cut, I think. Good cut. Coos Bay may be less risk of a bound saw compared to boring.

    Climbing the tree vs climbing a rope in the tree

    @levi r Well, in the 70s there was this kind of re-imagining of the 50s as some kind of golden era, Happy Days was symptomatic of that, in the UK we had pop bands dressed up and singing in 50 styles clothing. It drifted into the eighties but then died out. There is a strong nostalgia these days...

    Climbing the tree vs climbing a rope in the tree

    Especially with sore knee from a tight IT band, I liked having a TIP 15'different from the topping point. Lots of sitting in my saddle during and between cuts with an easy to swing around to get good positioning. PSP/ redirection point for the base-tie at 80% height. Had to join ropes as the...

    Ok I have a point, what links Me/Weezer/Happy Days is phony nostalgia.

    Climbing the tree vs climbing a rope in the tree

    I had a thought today about that video from Weezer. Here we are in the mid 2020s posting a video from 30 years ago (1994) In the video you see Happy Days which aired 20 years (1974 approx) before the Weezer video. Happy Days is set in the mid 50s, 20 years before the release of Happy Days. So...

    Knot thread

    5/8" is fairly beefy imo. For limbs and for trunk sections up to say 300lbs, I'd use 1/2" with a rope snap on end for super fast, easy hook ups and unhooking. For heavier pieces, I'd go with the 5/8 and a bowline.

    Stikine's guiding thread

    Kinda depends on what you want to do and see. The bear stuff at Anan starts around the 4th of July and peaks in August. Other things like whale watching, Stikine River, LeConte glacier are more flexible.

    I’ve never missed a shot. 😁 Actually, seriously, not by a significant or damaging amount. Limbs on the other hand…

    I got in trouble for exactly that, when I left a big tear in a customer's oak. Won't fickin happen again. My mistake for expecting too much out of the species.

    New front tires on Gertrude! Unfortunately, the rats got in the cab, so that's going to be a helluva cleaning project...
