Been on him for 4 years now, wouldn't give me anything to take the tree down. Just left it. Fell on the house, finally, rent break and I'm a work from home arborist! Haha!

Yeah it started that way, then the blue vortex wore out and they only had the "pink"? in stock. Hehe, my lanyard has the only captive eye carabiner I own on it - I'm a slow methodical climber and having two or three lines the same colour doesn't concern me much. The other climber I work with...

What kind of camera? Go pro or knock-off? I have a "Safari" brand, but it looks like this has a wider angle lens, more in the frame. Nice work!

Just some minor roof clearance on a fair size norway spruce. Then a short poke over to a neighboring dead spruce to set it up for a quick vertical take-down. Although the rope was really not needed, we were barely able to pull it out of the vines! Had quite a bit of fun making this one, hope...

Yup Cucujus clavipes puniceus - Red flat bark beetle Highly tolerant of freezing temperatures, use antifreeze protiens to survive the northern winters.

I run the VT with 5 wraps and 3 braids, completely open system - both beaners attach to my rope bridge separately. 3/8" beeline e2e on the new samson vortex. I find no matter what combination of rope/e2e you use as long as you test it "Low and Slow" between 3 - 5 wraps is all you'll need, and...

Historically hazardous? lol

Welcome to the world Ellie! Congrats Pulled the rear passenger wheel off my truck today, 2003 Chev 1500 4x4. Its been making the most godawful grinding, broken spinning shaft sound finally pinpointed that wheel. Figured it was either the bearing or the parking break shoe inside the rear drum...

WOW good on you for being persistent, if something feels wrong.... it probably is. I'll remember this story forever!

Either a scratch they missed or something still in there. I've had metal and wood particles in my eye, removed by a doc in the ER both times. Used a small drill to get it out... lol, scary as hell but it healed up quick after. I'd get a second opinion at the very least.

Dev could have used the Ditch Witch on wednesday, and maybe a winch to get it up the hill!
