While I was working in Northern Utah I had a pair if Black Diamond Ice climbing gloves. Good and warm. Because they were made for climbers you can use biners and ascenders. plus they are water proof. http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/shop/climb/climbing-gloves

THe hyuchi IS the BEst POle saw!! One of the best investments I have made. The Blades Are expensive to replace, but there is a shop in town that will sharpen it for $5. An Arborist can always make a better cut with a pole saw vs a powersaw. If you need to make a big cut use a ladder and...

I own my on Company as a Sole Proprietorship. My interest in getting the cert is a new acquaintance who works for Davey doing utility in the area told me they have more work then they can handle, and none of other private tree companies around have the line clearance cert. He said that he...

Has anybody out there received the Utility Specialist cert. from the ISA? It says on the ISA site the it does not qualify you to work around energized lines. Where can I get the training for working around energized lines? OSHA? Somewhere else I would like to be able to focus my search.

Imagine if for once in the history of Bradford Pears one actually had structural pruning done from a young age. Has anyone out there seen one with a centralized leader? Did pdqdl ever say the tree to be topped was a Bradford Pear?

Turn it down and keep your integrity More work will be coming it always does. Don't lose you integrity and reputation. Also there is the question of liability. If in five or ten years after the water sprouts have gotten big on breaks and damages something or hurts someone that is on your...

I had a Sweet job Last week Dropping 5 big Doug Firs about 120'-140'tall. Check out videos of on my blog of 3 of the big ones coming down. http://communityarborist.blogspot.com/ The only down side to the job was I got poison oak all over my arm and neck. I look like a burn victim. I would...

treeline works great for me http://www.neropes.com/product.aspx?mid=AD5A655BCA5BFA2A6B340F8F4F462C5D&lid=2&pid=82 This is the link to the new england website. I have used 3/4in for my primary rigging line for removals. It is tough and works great. I remove a lot of Doulgas Fir here in...

I have a big job coming up that will require dynamic cabling. Now I have used COBRA in the past. I have been pouring over the new Sherrill catalog looking at the other dynamic system, Tree Save. I know the virtues of cobra, and it seems like Tree Save has about the same to offer, but quite...

Heres how I Roll. I don't have a picture of my throw line set up, but this is how I roll. I have 3 1/2 gallon bucket with one of those bucket buddy tool carriers. I have the bucket divided in half with sheet of cardboard and duct tape. I have a longer and shorter line in the bucket...

These things save my sanity! I went nuts on a job site with this client pointing at the same branches. Me: "That one." PO: "No that one." ME: "Cut it back to here." PO:"No cut it back to there." :cry: The whole time we were pointing at the same branch. This guy could not just...

What I was implying was that besides the ms-200, the ms-192 is a better saw then most other climbing saws on the market.

well done take down, but Where was the PPE? Glad to see that that the tree came down and no one was hurt. I think it is a dangerous president to set sending a first time climber up with out a helmet, eye protection, and only a steelcore filpline to work off. Steel core fliplines are cut...

Don't listen to the ms-192 trolls I have run a ms-192t as my primary saw for over 3 years. It is a great saw and I have no complaints. I have run ms-200t's that were under powered and more fickle than either of my two ms-192t's. The only major repair I have done on the saw was to replace the...

The house is with in 20ft of the house. The tree is 60ft tall and about 4ft dbh. So this tree failing would be disasterous

I was on an estimate yesterday looking at large Black Oak. I was looking at an old cut. It was about 12''-16'' in diameter and callused over leaving only about 3" gap remained. I noticed granular excrement and used my knife to pick out a termite. I gave it to an exterminator friend of mine...

Indian Climber Here is another Crazy Indian Climber known as the Monkey King. I have been a rock climber my whole life but this guy busts moves like I have never seen. http://www.iltalehti.fi/nettitv/?7973546

Finding work ain't easy I have to work hard to keep my schedule full in a town where i have a good reputation and have established my company. I could not imagine it could be next to impossible to drum up work on the road. If these guys can bounce from town to town getting work, I would...

MS-192 is the way to go I have two ms-192 and they are fantastic!! I bought my first one new 3 years ago, and I have had no complaints. Currently I have upped the bar lenght to 16' on both. I have had my 192 out preform finicky husky 338's and ms-200's. Keep it tuned and it will take care of...
