@SeanKroll , my barn for the equipment, roof and one wall to block the summer afternoon sun. Next year I'll probably add the other lean to and maybe enclose the middle for a work space, although I may build a separate structure for the shop. The only unique thing is a felt like material on the...

Out of the box feel/hand I have to give the nod to Samson. I’m working my way through a reel of Maple leaf 1/2” and it feels slick and plasticy off the reel. But when it breaks in it’s nice, good wear resistance. Milks a bit more but nothing excessive.

Your shop, Carl, or a job?

I have a lot of Samson stable braid. Maple leaf ropes has good deals. A 3-strand hard lay Sampson tree-master if using a Maasdsm rope puller. I like the grip and friction of Treemaster for natural crotch self-lowering without a lowering device. Needs breaking in. Many don't...

for sure, i use old climbing rope. still strong but sappy or stiff so not good in devices but the crotch doesnt care

My first climb line and rigging line were Arbor plex. Quickly got a 16 strand. Never had another AP.

Hahahaha

When you’re going to run it natural crotch and burn it up anyway, why NOT use ArborPlex? I’m perfectly satisfied with it. Been using it for 35-ish years now. I use 1/2” for up to 500#-600# stuff, and 5/8” when it gets bigger. I have a 75’ hank that I keep hanging on my side when it’s not in use...

I was gonna try to put my feet up like @treebilly 😁

This brings to a close the eradication of Siberian elms from one of the golf courses my father in law who recently passed from cancer was superintendent of. Whole thing has been fun but bittersweet. I wish he had still been here to see me do it, and it done.

Dog!

The twelve days of.. birbs...?

The farm and woodland is about 5 km from my place. It was about -3c so quite fresh but not too bad. Here is the tree, pretty standard looking Norwegian Spruce.
