I grew up in your part of the country, Wilson. I know what you mean by the bewildering array of tree species. Learn 25, and you still have 50 more to go! And that doesn't include the hort varieties.

Those look like products that benefit the seller more than the buyer/user... What you have on the MB is fine. It's a good saddle with a solid rep. If it were me, I'd forget about fine tuning the bridge until you have some significant experience upon which to base such. Refined technique will...

Indeed, he does. Massive plants that make one wonder about what that benign looking little house plant in your living room might become :D.

That gear is toast :).

I'll tell you, my friend...in more than 40 years of professional tree work, I so seldom set an overhead climbline for a spur climb as to make it something less than 5 percent of the time. You work in a very different forest type than I, so there should be caveats :). Gaffing out is a...

I'm with @friedrich...a very short bridge will squeeze you like a toothpaste tube. Long pulls are overrated...especially by short peeps like me :).

Chipping PI sounds like having a death wish, to me :D.

You're most likely a rare exception, Scott. Lucky you. Butch used to swear by taking Oral Ivy as a preventative. I have no idea if it actually works.

Just say no to that "got to climb" tree :). I would. Me and poison ivy/oak do not play well together.

Paper cuts can be painful for true. Any injury under a fingernail multiplies the discomfort quotient. Happy Christmas, David! :)

Behind the times again! Thanks, Rich. I see Yale also makes a rope they call Poison Moon...same as Blue Moon and the old version of Poison Ivy, apparently...

Outstanding, Rich. Have a fine time. I too really like Yale for my climbing rope...Poison Ivy here, but Blue Moon is same same.

Dog!

M took some pictures of the high water in our creek and over the road near the end of our driveway... Underwater, just left of center of the first pic, is the 36 inch diameter culvert. A sucking whirlpool forms and dissipates every few seconds. If you got near that, it would take you down in...

Not holding my breath for that one to happen. Seemed strongly committed to DYI.

Good question...we'll likely never know. Hopefully he is fine, maybe even wiser...but I wouldn't bet the farm on that last bit.

Take that limb off that is on the powerline side first. Then it's really easy.

Wonderful, Pete..."terriorist" "D.

Aye...just used it most recently on bucking several humongous rounds off that wind-thrown cottonwood by the creek and bridge. As Gerry noted before, it has a sweet ring to it when striking a well seated wedge :).

Isn't that very often the case, eh? Nice work.
