    "Taking moderator applications"

    The Govt. (Darin) is taking moderator applications and he has washed a thread and now is telling us to cease discussing a topic. I just have one thing to say...this forum is NOTHING without posters and all those ads up top will dissolve with no views. If they plan to turn over this forum or...

    Making a road or parking on your biz property.

    I am finally completely in my property I bought about 3 years ago. I had to wait for the project of paving the 3/4 dead end road and associated concrete entrance to be installed over a ditch runoff to get in. I spent one whole winter clearing it of invasives. Now I have put in a circular...

    ANSI Zo1nK Comm Systems Mandatory in All Tree Crane Use

    Psych. Made it up. But in a perfect world this would be law. I will never do another crane job without them they are so valuable. "How much am I good for here....ok 80% of that...we're fine (I put the dia tape back in my pocket)" "Give me 3 inches turn right...give me 4 inches cable...

    ms 150 best saw ever (snellorized) in the history of saws (lb. for lb.)

    you read it, I know it. Just a matter of how long it lasts. took a giant ash down with it yesterday and you thought it was just a sissy tweasing pruning saw....wrong. MS 200/201 is now just a boat anchor.

    groundmen (drive me nuts, make me laugh,....)

    On my 5th gm since last fall. This one might stick...but I always think that. He just informed me that his last tree job his boss is about 300 lbs with arms the size of a ham hock but he quit because he is going to change into a woman and he can't take it. Ground men are the cheapest people...

    Worst purchase (TRUCKCRAFT DUMP INSERT) ya'ever made

    We generally yak about all the goodies we bought but being forewarned to rubbish out there will save a lot of money and anguish. In late 08 I bought an aluminum TruckCraft dump insert after much research and comparisons. The one I was on the fence about with it went out of biz and that sealed...

    Bugged (bites)

    I have been heating my house (and past 2 houses) entirely with wood for over 40 years. I get bit in the process of bringing the wood inside to my IWB add on. Week or two ago I was buried in snow and quit burning for less than a week. The bites stopped. They act just like chiggers in that...

    Revolutionary?....I think so for trainees

    I see this new ZigZag rig as the key that opens the door to more training and assessment of potential of prospective climbers. Get them up in the top on SRT or whatever way but when they get up there they can hook up this system they have brought up pre installed and toss it over a limb and go...

    We've been on a steady almost every day involvement of ash removals in my heavily infested op area. I have taken down some very dangerous trees. Example...today I go up a 70 footer in woods over a house and piece down big ash over a house on a hill. Tree feels REAL shaky. I get weight off it...
