    How did you guys get over heights

    tens of thousands of arched over white birches.

    Im sorry Cape I cant justify bringing out a pole pruner to remove a small birch.. we should as professionals be able to deal with a situation like this with out worrying about a barber chair, pinched blade or a kick back in our face.. I don't mean to pick any fights I just cant see bringing the...

    I'm about an hour north of Portland by Boothbay if your familiar with the rt 1 area. If one of these birches hurt you, or if your scratching your head trying to figure out how to put one down...

    WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TIE IN TWICE WHILE CLIMBING?

    Is that the Italian hitch yah got their Tao? In situations like this I use to use a carabinier rather than a running bowline but I heard side loading was bad? I've changed quite a few things around since this picture... But I'll let you boys rip me a new on .

    Openly admitting being an "amateur" + free gear = good idea or irresponsible?

He has promoted a tree removal for do it your selfers... Now we are going to see a couple of his viewers spend a few hundred bucks & do their...

    Openly admitting being an "amateur" + free gear = good idea or irresponsible?

    tens of thousands of arched over white birches.

    I'm up in Maine. The load isn't to bad on the bowing briches.. Just make sure you cut the top out (if its frozen to the ground) before you go after the butt.. Always wear your ppe!! If you tie a rope to the top (a running bowline with a long tail) you should be able to straighten them up a...

    SRT vs Ddrt

    When coming down from your TIP if you jump though a redirect crotch... You will have more friction in your system on a drt... Soooo that's something you'll have to get use to. (the drag on a limb walks) drt is a 2 to 1 rather than srt's 1 to 1.. So comming back in you'll be working harder on...
