I’ve been watching videos of this youngun for a while now. Talented for sure.

I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror and said “I look like Ted Kazinski”. Still too cold for a haircut.

I guess I’ve been using training wheels for the better part of two decades. Damn I guess I’ll never learn lol.

I prefer the chainsaw and its sharp teeth far away from me. Having it stored by the handle put it directly in the way of the hand/arm during the climb. The idea bothered me at the beginning, but I tried this method anyway because why not. I discovered in less than one hour that my worry wasn't...

That's why I like the roller. You can see and learn what's happening to transition to freehand. Training wheels.

My opinion is guides are a learning tool , I refuse to be guide dependent and believe in hand filing (its like what if there was a disaster where guides are unavailable with work to do).On file diameter as Jerry teaches there is a place where dropping 1/32" is beneficial (after chisel is about...

IYKYK.

I use the “Libby” app to get books from our local library. They have that book listed… Better than spending $28

I use a pulp hook and find it Far better than lifting with bare hands

Remember to squat , and not twist while loaded, as possible.

Grip 101% percent of what is necessary, not 125% of what's necessary.

Lifting smaller rounds onto the hyd splitter is definitely different exercise than hand splitting huge ones on the ground 😆

Larger file creates less hook and more durable angles, slower cutting. Larger file works better on a new cutter…smaller diameter as the cutter is used up and gets lower. I have some 1/4” files that I ground a flat side on that rides in the bottom of the gullet to maintain height…copy of stihl...

I don’t climb but I’d echo these guys to look at technique.

Could, but it’s easy pickins good firewood

Early in my career, my biceps would give me grief pulling things up a tree many times a day, like zip lining or saws getting refilled on large removals. You build up to it. But also need to outsmart the physical stress. Like setting a pully, ring or biner ABOVE you so you are pulling down on...

What everyone else said, plus dynamic stretches and yoga. I'll keep whipping the draft horse of flexibility and core strength. Also, a well muscled spinal column is far less prone to injury.

I take magnesium glycinate, not specifically for cramping, but it's a probable aid there as well. Most of the cramping problems I had climbing were in the hot months. Is it possible with you being green that you're overexerting compared to what's required? Typically when I start something new...
