Imagine the look you'd get from customers standing behind you- who see you use the zipper of your pants to cinch down the screw...

Did anyone else see this hybrid? Coined the HitchZag, utilized from the recalled zigzag. Found it while looking to see if an updated version has hit the market yet... What a cool idea!

Yep^^^ And as Jomo states, I like to be doubled in -rather than a lanyard on the branch. And if there is no where to tie in above, then I'll stand on the branch to be cut, with my lanyard beneath me in a "jump rope," configuration. This way I can stand -bringing tension against me and my...

I haven't been able to footlock since blowing out my knee in the late 90's. I'm afraid to even try SRT because of that. Still lots of residual pain from nearly two decades ago. :( I'm lucky all the trees here in Fla are short. I put a 25' ladder up in them and body thrust with an O-rig the...

This one comes to me from a guy that was hired from dial a drunk, to help with a big job. I'm asking what did he do for a living and he said that he was a painter. He preceded to tell me the story about an incident of his last job in the business. He was up on scaffolding- painting the canopy...

I wear chaps, a wee-wee ring and nothing else when I work.

Wow. You just nailed my early career flirt with death. I'll have to find the appropriate thread to post my story about it.

I purchased a GroundsKeeper rake from TreeStuff a little while back -and I wish I had this beauty years ago. There is no pushing while your drawing the rake. Simply pull gently and lightly skim the surface. This thing is tits!

Oh SNAP! I must be the one on drugs! :shocked!:

Reducing the canopy seems counterproductive to me. Two issues I have. Firstly, time consuming if you don't own a bucket and you'd still need a groundman walking around the tree and many different distances -shouting to you which tip to bring in more to match others. Secondly, unless you...

You on drugs bro.

Just cut mine last week. Only a surface snag so I threw some duct tape over it. Good as new ;) Teufleberger has a great idea for theirs, it has a snap where you can remove it with only a few inches of it remaining on the saws retaining ring. Great for once you make landfall and need to start...

I start with two hands, since it takes two to start. I start cutting forward, tip end, with both hands, then I release with the right and grab the line above my climbing system/hitch climber — as I round the saw back, then leveling and straight thru. Done to avoid the limb from tearing. Two...

Absolutely.

Partially and No

Pruning a giant Pin Oak in Youngstown Ohio that hung over a sidewalk in an up-class neighborhood. We had the walks blocked off with traffic cones and literally 4' of brush and debris that I was dropping. Then I notice two people- man and wife, in their late 60's who are approaching. Now you'd...

Alright. This also has to do with my pulley saver from Teufleberger doing something odd. Midway out a 40' horizontal, butt hitching with a whoopie sling with pinto pulley attached. My tie in was approximately 30' above- in a pulley saver— and I was at 45degrees. As I cut, it pops and the kerf...

I really hope TreeStuff keeps up the great work. I love doing business with them. First class operation.

Exactly. I have a story to share about this very thing. But it also has to do with two separate disasters as the resulting action. ie: "possible product/gear failure and accident resulting with injury." I'm currently looking for an appropriate thread to tell it in.
