The V8 certainly has a good quantity of sodium!

I like those LMNT’s.

I was definitely drinking every 1/2 hr alternating between water and body armors (electrolytes). Still, after 4 hrs of the sun beating down on me, I needed to cool myself. I was fine afterwards though.

I did Florida when in my 20’s. I didn’t mind 95* with 70+ humidity for 7 months straight. I’d probably deal with a dry heat better but would rather not contend with heat at all.

John and I removed a white pine. Only one tip tie rig had to happen. Rest all just dropped. Chips stay on site and rounds bucked and left on site. It was HOT! This heat in August isn’t so bad (comparatively) but it’s harder to adapt in June. When I couldn’t remember the model number of the saw I...

@Tree09 Kyle, Kavey will need you to make a couple shop drawings to explain your ideas in detail. ;)

I’m glad I looked before typing the same thing! What’s on the back?!

Secure the tree and climb it to de limb, then maybe pull the trunk sideways or backwards

Dang right! Probably 7 hrs aloft. When I came down I said I need a break so I’ll run the chipper. Just needed different type of attention and muscle movements.

John and I did some “blow” downs. They blew down without much wind. Leaning red oak too close to a stream had root rot so it let go and sent a 100’ poplar into (2) 70’ polars and a 100’ beech. TIP was 120’ up another poplar as well as on the beech. Had to move the beech tie in 3 times so the...

Different kind of work. Neighbor had a 22’ flatbed with a very capable winch. We cleared a dual blowdown across a creek. Root plate intermingled and the large ash co dom was above the walnut. Of course John was there! Thank you John! We managed to get a 16” x22’ black walnut log out. And quite a...

I’d be comfortable with a healthy white oak, wrist size union, loaded in compression. Even more so if it would catch in another union a few feet down. Or, if it was through other unions as well. Certainly wouldn’t do that on a willow or poplar or anything dead. Not that I’m anybody or have in...

Yeah, it’s crazy about the mortgage thing. Then again, the banks aren’t going to suffer.

That was my first thought.

@Maximalist What sport is that? Do you throw the sticks?

For fun, we tip tied a small Bradford pear to a large poplar stem and slowly lowered it, cutting off 4’ pieces with each descent. 🤣 Absolutely could have been dropped in my yard but this was more funer.

John and I rigged down a dead 50’ x 8” dia red oak limb above a driveway and in ground basketball hoop. 2 portys and both tip and but ties. Probably could have spider legged it but getting to the tip of the long, dead, and very slippery limb would have had challenges. The tip tie was set from...

First thing I noticed 🤣

I like a nice ring & ultra sling combos for light and medium/light applications for ease of use and portability. My rigging ropes will last 5 years with the amount of work they do being a part timer.

You’d probably need a block for 3/4” rigging to get proper bend radius running 3/8”.
