I was looking into getting one of those cambium savers. They seem like a great idea. Do most of you guys decend with the prusick knot...I heard it can be done?

ascending gear is a waste for beginners--I use ladder and toss monkeyfist, has worked fine 43 years.

a chainsaw for an 8" limb? that is a handsaw cut. much safer and lighter. why waste $$ on husky when silky will do?

sorry to hear about the phone--hope it was insured.

and don't sweat the flak--you gotta start somewhere, and it sounds like you're going in the right direction.

I can't believe you cursed in front of kids. shame on you.



I used a ladder for a couple of jobs myself so I could pay for my gear. A little dicey, but not "hazardous"

yeah, your right... not hazardous..... when's the last time you heard of a guy getting hurt or killed , because a falling limb , knocked the ladder out from under him ????? your right, you never hear about that...

I used the ladder to climb into a magnolia, then just climbed my way up to the part I was removing, removed it and climbed down. The falling limbs could have knocked the ladder down, but then my buddy would have picked it up for me I'm sure.
