good spurs are important, i like aluminium bashlin with tree gaffs. i sometimes wear my ascender under them when i need to bridge empty space like in a decurrent tree after i took a redirect. but at first i think you got it right, practise.

Seen this twice, and surely it should be ‘A kleptomaniac literally takes things’? Works better I think. Other way is clunky.

I like using a nice looong double ended rope lanyard, like 25+ ft but for a novice like me the rope lanyard makes spuring up alot harder for me. i guess if i know im going to spur for now ill use my steel core and a second short rope lanyard....

i got little magnetic gaff guards that i have on a piece of bungee cord with a micro biner.... but i guess i need to just practice huh lol, cause i see a few brands of spurs offer a way to attach a ascender, but my spurs are the only piece of kit that i havent replaced with a reputable brand...

I thought it was from wearing tree gaffs instead of pole gaffs. :) For about 5 minutes today, I wanted longer gaffs. Just standing in a funny regrown ash crotch with funky angles.

Easily could have supported another tree.

Could've planted another tree in it.

Put this poor tree out of its misery today. What looks like limbs on the right is actually top that just folded over.

Is that a Welch plug? Did you loctite the throttle butterfly screw? I have a 200 that needs some work.

Ditto

And people complain about standing in spurs. Ha!

That’s a bit high level- face after back cut. And using a machete/cleaver?!?:\:

A couple years ago one of my 192T was bogging down, didn't do anything with it since I was spending more time taking care of my Dad, anyway tree work looks like it'll pick up, so I went looking for just an o ring for the accelerator pump, Stihl no help, Rubberline was no help, damn if Princess...

Frightenedly awesome :).

Live unprotected electric cables btw.

Here is one thread... https://www.masterblasterhome.com/threads/worlds-best-most-expensive-tree-climbing-spurs.18064/

A subject with much coverage here over the years. I think it's about the best possible way to gaff yourself, but others disagree :).

Both ways have been done...I learned it first with a small face, but Gerry learned it without a face. I have used both techniques with success.

Yup. Here's a link to one thread on the subject, at a post from me describing the technique. The search function can find several more threads on determining tree height. https://www.masterblasterhome.com/threads/angle-of-the-dangle.10360/page-3#post-232327
