    Something like that can be drained first. There should be a drain plug around back. Or bore in and wait for it to drain.

    Sounds like using Never-Seize- word is just put some on your hands and clothes before you start just to get it over with :lol: :dude:

    See white line first pic above post. I did snap cut and chuck for the limbs and rigged the spar chunks down in about 32” lengths. So upper limits of a couple hundred pounds or lower limits of a few hundred. Max maybe 400. Let it run a little to dampen the swing. My buddy just sent me more pics...

    Negative Ghostrider. That's a great way to ruin your harness and gear with sloppy crap, trash your rope, gum up your climbing device or hitch. Trunks are one thing, painting tops is another matter. Ever used wound-seal aloft? That crap gets EVERYWHERE!

    Climbing the tree vs climbing a rope in the tree

    We had a long journey to work today, and I was impressing on my young climber the need for him to throwline/srt/spurless. He gets it (he says) but he mustn’t get stuck with me in the mid 90s, though to be fair it is rather cool here, no mobiles, girls look better and Weezer have released ‘Just...

    Just remember rope is a consumable and should be replace regularly. I’m not saying that line is burned up, far from it. I often get the impression a lot of tree peeps keep their lines forever. After 10 trees and say $20grand in gross revenue a $150 line can be replaced often.

    in theory. In reality I don’t think he would get near her as she is really reactive towards German Shepherds. She was pinned by one when she was a puppy and always seems to try and attack them. Then there is the few thousand miles between us. Other than that I can’t see an issue 🤪

    Makes sense. Was it from catching a top or heavy 'positive' lowering?? It's got a lot a of life in it, but it's just not as strong as before.

    Climbing the tree vs climbing a rope in the tree

    The ergonomics are better. I'm definitely for efficiency, however I'm thinking career long marathon not daily sprints. I have taken an hour for a hard shot at 80'. That's where the work was, 2 large fir branches to prune from over the house. It wasn't a tree to advance from the bottom...

    How'd it go today?

    I don't see the chain on my phone. If the chain dangles without girdling, it's a warning.
