    Edge Saddle

    Just bought one a couple of weeks ago, still getting it dialed in. Havent tried a pulley on the bridge though I may. My biggest complaint so far is when I get way out on a limb my carabiner gets stuck in the space between the bridge covering and the rubber grommet at the end of the bridge. Have...

    GRCS: some criticism by a non-owner

    So the GRCS is handy for accessing the tree spurless also? That would be a big selling point to me. How slow is it when used in this manner? Been dreaming about the Wraptor system for quite a while, seems like the GRCS could possibly kill 2 birds with one stone if it's not too slow. Is it safe...

    Storm acoming

    Southern WHAT? You dont hear me talking about Yankee 'ginas do you? Seriously, work is medium slow at home and I need some excitement. Just 'cause you dont like storm work doesnt mean no one else does. It takes all kinds.

    Tree guy sayings

    "You gonna get that done before I draw social security?" this from a 30 yr. old. "We're not cutting firewood" when you're cutting stuff too small (when climbing.)

    Storm acoming

    Last year when I posted something like this, I got busted on hard, but here goes: I would like to work this storm, preferably in conjunction with an established tree service on the coast. I'd be coming from North Ga. Have a 3/4 ton 4wd, 660, 440, 260, 200t, 290, lots of climbing and rigging...

    I bought a stolen chainsaw!

    Thought I'd had a saw stolen last week. We'd been clearing some underbrush down in my Dads back pasture, had 3 saws and a brushcutter in the back of the pickup. Took my son to a small foodstore to meet my niece who took him to church. I impulsively decided to run inside and buy a jug of tea...

    Tree to ground communication

    I'm interested in this subject too, if it doesnt break the bank. I'm tired of yelling over the chipper. Yesterday I watched helplessly from the top of a white oak as my groundman stopped up the chipper chute and kept feeding it. Had to come down and help unclog it, which put us behind enough...

    Big egos and small minds

    Dang guys lighten up a little. AA, if it works for you use it. You dont have to justify it to anybody, nor do you have to respond to everyone who downs you. You leave yourself wide open to criticism with your remarks. All this bickering takes away from the site in my opinion. I was drawn in...

    Big egos and small minds

    Diss what? Diss leave? Beat her to it-brought my son with me. Oh you mean disrespect me? Got plenty of that. Everyone she comes into contact with gets a boatload of that. Gotta go, big white oak's coming down this morning. Mucho clean-up.

    Big egos and small minds

    I'm sorry if I appeared somewhat thin-skinned in a recent thread. A couple of remarks just struck me the wrong way at a time when I had a lot of worries on my mind. Should have just shrugged it off, ignored it, or come up with a witty reply. I play small-stakes poker fairly regularly with a...

    Big egos and small minds

    I pretty much thought that's what I did. If you had'nt started this thread I wouldnt have re-visited the scene. Thanks for bringing this up though, I think it needed said. JPS, I've always respected your posts. But wait till someone talks to you like that and see if you ignore it. Enough said.

    Big egos and small minds

    By the way dont expect me not to take up for myself at least once when called an "internet jackass, know nothing wannabe" out of the blue.

    Big egos and small minds

    I heard that. I discovered this site while recovering from a bad fall and 2 subsequent surgeries. Really did me good to hear from people in the business. Back then I didnt know if I'd ever work again. I didnt post much as I had no fresh tales to tell. Luckily I was able to return to work but I...

    Tricks for untieingreally tight knots?

    Looks like a doubled-up version of the standing bowline I use. I'll have to try it. Thanks for the informative post. It's all good.

    Tricks for untieingreally tight knots?

    Sorry I made the mistake of coming on here and asking advice... apparently thats not what it's for... must be a place for snap judgements and ill-informed put-downs, If I wanted to hear that I'd still be with my ex-wife...actually you remind me of her. Dont want to fight about it? Don't make...

    Tricks for untieingreally tight knots?

    I am not beating the knot, thats why I came on here looking for advice. This has happened twice in my entire career. First time I was trying to pull up a entire clump of redtips by the roots. Was using an old short rope and a pick-up. Guess you could say I overloaded the knot ,whatever, there...

    Tricks for untieingreally tight knots?

    You can tell all that from one thread about a stuck knot huh? From the amount of people talking about beating on knots with hammers I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one ever had a knot tighten up on me. Hell, if I'd wanted to do that I wouldnt have come on here looking for intelligent feedback...
