Local guy inherited a comapny. Lead worker left and started his own company. First company folded. Former owner went to work for former employee/lead worker.

I don't think they were .50, but I could be wrong.

Unmanned vessel, remotely operated, very similar to the SeaBaby drone that Ukraine has been using to sink Russian warships, although the "blowfish" aren't nearly as sophisticated. Not sure what kind of explosive they had packed in there, the brief bit of explosion you can see looks very...

Tharrr she blows! I wonder what they had on that boat? A deadman switch self destruct device in case they got shot, or lots of dynamite for blasting into ships? I assume dynamite can get triggered by bullets.

Forgot about the figure 8. Decent stopper and loop.

Boline, figure 8(and how to properly back chase), girth/cow hitch, timber hitch, slipknot. Lately, I've been using the autoblock hitch, as it's just about the easiest and fastest hitch to tie onto a pull line. Jepsons books are OK. I loan out Groundie and the Tree Climbers Companion to new...

Dave reminded me that lumping him up will likely end with me incarcerated again. Eschewing violence is becoming difficult regardless. From what his mom was saying, my missing money is paying for his girlfriends lifestyle. The longer I stew on this, the more my blood boils.

Yarrrrr!

I was thinking of knots, but a basic handbook would be interesting. Maybe not as much for the crowd here. Most here are well established with employees/routine, but someone could find it useful. The problem with forum created "guides" is they tend to sprawl. The scope seems to creep, and they...

Maybe my post didn't add as much as I thought it was going to. Mostly thinking about minimum requirements in general. A good idea in this business. I'd have to look in the employee handbook, but I don't think there are any of the requirements in there.

I don't think I have any paperwork, but where I used to work was implementing a system where you were on boarded when hired, and then assigned a level, such as ground person 1, 2 , climber 1, 2 etc. There were 12 knots you had to know to advance from basically being a non-experinced grunt. Each...

I know the owner of this page, but not the person who built the Guitarde. I would love to learn how to do this this.

I was thinking about Kaveman's WTF knot, and was wondering what everyone thought was the bare minimum required for treework. Maybe think of it as a card you hand out to new employees as a 'must learn' requirement. Here's my list as best as I can remember. I think with these, you could do just...

Today we cut down a dry larch tree d80cm. I counted 110 rings = 110 years old.

intense stuff.

yarr there be pirates.....

There's no excuse or reason under the sun for you not to be paid in full every friday. No matter what. Pure BS otherwise. What would "Dave" (of incarceration fame) do.

@Kaveman You see, now you’ve got me all fired up first thing in the morning! If he’s been paid you should be paid. If he hasn’t been paid you should still have been paid. They are stringing you along. Unlike you I don’t have resources in my fists, but it’d be tempting. All I can say is ask...
