I don't think ISA certification is a requirement for insurance. A legitimate company will be fully insured but doesn't necessarily need ISA certified arborists. As the folks before me have mentioned, get ahold of the books. It can be tricky coming up with a fair price to buy a company...

This is a long shot but here it goes... Looking for a size 12 logger boot in good/fair condition, preferably something made in the USA. I saved my pennies and decided to have Nick's build me a custom pair. However, this is a lengthy process and I need a pair of boots to get me by in the...

Thanks Philbert, I didn't even consider that the big shot would attach to my poles for the pole pruner. I thought I'd have to order poles made specifically for the big shot or something.

Hey guys, I am relatively new to rope work/climbing and have been having a tough time hitting my targets when using a throw bag. I know it is a skill I need to develop and I will continue working on it. However, I was wondering what type of alternatives there are to hand-throwing a bag? I have...
