    Time for a lift or not??

    We love ours but it's not necessary and slower than climbing.

    Review: Haix Protector Prime boots

    With so many products on market for tree climbers it is easy to get stuck with a product that is outdated simply because it's what we have always used. I have tried a lot of new gear this year working for Hansen's and they have turned me into a total gear junkie :reading:

    whadja do today?

    Those new husky saws are nice to buck down trees since they are so light but they have a mind of their own sometimes, same with the newer top handle ones.

Make sure your keywords are on your site, try to use phrases that your customer might be searching for but use them in context of explaining your services in a way that if customers do stumble on your site they will be inclined to give you a call.

    I just want one in general but that would be a good excuse ;)

    Review: Haix Protector Prime boots

    I don't see a lot of in depth reviews on tree gear and have been so impressed with these Haix boots that I thought I would share my opinion on them since boot choice seems to be a popular discussion. Let me start by saying that I have tried almost every brand and height logger boot available and...

    how do you run a crew.......?

    Around here you can have a 4-5 man crew and average $2,500-$3,000 a day almost always going into overtime and paying out about $1,000 in operating cost a day between labor and equipment. You also have to feed this machine by hustling that much work to keep all those guys busy. I can go out and...

    Looking into Climbing/Working Boots

    Tried all the logger styles and hikers don't have the support for regular take downs, my perfect boot is http://www.haixusa.com/forestry/365/protector-prime-black?c=13

    blocking down onto tiles/pavers

    Teach ground guys how to rig and treat them like professionals and use loopies, whoopies, slings, and steel carabiners to save time. I don't enjoy negative blocking but it is necessary at times and way more predictable than any sort of crash pad. Always gotten off lucky but had a lot of close...

    What do you wear?

    http://www.haixusa.com/forestry/365/protector-prime-black?c=13 Best climbing boots ever, I have tried them all and these are by far the most comfortable and supportive. Never thought boots would make such a difference with gaff purchase but always rocking pole gaffs I just figured I would never...

    Biggest/Most Memorable Tree

    Lots of memorable trees (especially dead ones) but my current doozie was about a week ago when my boss sent me with one ground guy to a 170ft fir removal with 60 years worth of ivy growing 120ft up. Day one I was in the tree for 6 hours, 12 ft flipline maxed out the entire time made it 70ft...

    Just starting out

    Update, I am a sole proprietor now as my partner ended up joining forces with his brother (also a bad ass climber) and they are doing rather well so everyone is happy. I am still in the weekend warrior stage but getting to the point where I have too much work to schedule weekends only and will...

    Door Knocking/Sales and One liners.

    Lol, yeah fiddling with another mans door knob is highly awkward. Around here everyone has lots of trees and will need tree work at some point or another, my door hanger includes a $75 off coupon so at least there is an incentive to call me and it's a good reminder about tree work that they have...

    Home made throw ball cannon!

    Moral of the story is that tree guys love bad ass toys, what we need though is a bat man ascender.

    Does anybody have a serious disease or affliction from arboriculture?

    I am in love with the ms150 for pruning and even take downs.

    No fumes and has about the same power as the 201
