I use Merrel hiking boots when using gaffs on removals.Merrell boots have stiff soles. Stiff soles don`t hurt my feet , that makes me happy. Light weight Merrels don`t fatigue me like work boots do. I use old running shoes when rope climbing. There is no need to spend $400 on wesco .

Grilled t-bones with morels sauted` in butter tonight. Cold spring this year in western PA, should extend the morel season. 1/2 gallon so far. And yes I`m still burning. No complaints.

op, never. In the last 15 years I was asked to show arborist credentials 5 times. All form municipalities that required a certified arborist. In the last 5 years I can not remember being asked for creds at all. 100% of my business is referrals. I dont even advertise in the phone book...

Your Mom has a tattoo that simply reads "Son" Your allowed to touch the "Art"

Tin Metal roof. Wind is important. Sun not so much really. My shed is built with 6x6 , metal roof and chain link fence. It works.

I sharpened my gaffs 3 or 4 years ago with a flat file. I might sharpen them again in 3 or 4 years from now if they need it. Gaffs dont need sharpening much actually. " I dont always use gaffs, but when I do, I prefer Buck pole gaffs, and Dos Equis".

I have the Fiskars SS and Pro Spliter. I sold my 37 ton hydraulic splitter this spring because it took up to much space. The Fiskars are fantastic. they hang on a wall. I might get another powered splitter some day but Im in no hurry. I split 5-10 cords a year.

Build a proper wood shed . nothing will touch it, not rain not snow, it will get crispy dry. And stay dry. Building a wood shed is simple and cheap. Best money spent ever.

Chaps in a tree, never. I dont understand chaps in a tree.In a tree my cuts are at chest and face level. A hockey mask and chest armor would make more sense.

I wear gloves often but not always. The cotton /blue rubber palm gloves give me extra grip for climbing and I like that. I also use them for spitting firewood with an axe which I do often. I do not wear gloves while feeding the chipper. Unless its really cold.

Sorry about your knee, hope your on the mend soon. While were at it about regional price differences, whats a 2 bedroom apartment go for these days in Annapolis?

TXTree . If you need money you would make more money mowing grass in suburbia than cutting firewood. Im in PA where it gets really cold for a long time and firewood is not worth it. There are better ways to make money with less backache. Cut grass , hang drywall, install electronic dog fences...

The dog and the wood shed are new. You have to admit Fred is cute. THe Wood shed holds 30 cords. MDS good memory, I am a part timer, a certified and insured part timer. But 25 hours a week at this does make me a part timer. Hopefully next year I`ll be doing this 20 hours a week. My...

My shed has a metal roof. 6x6 posts. Survived record snow this winter.

To OP . Pass on it if you dont have a big machine. I have a small Rayco 25 hp grinder. I do fine on multiple small stumps, I will grind 25" or less and sub out 26" and larger to a local stump grinder that has a big diesel machine. I prefer 20" or less. No sense in killing my myself and my...

For all day climbing Its the boots and saddle you wear , not so much the gaffs. My main gaffs are steel Buckinghams short pole climbing gaffs. 1 1/4 inch spurs. I have the 3 inch Bucks too but never use them. I do a lot of large tree pruning so Im usually in sneakers. Great boots if you can...

Cant tell you, I cant remember anyways, It wouldn't be cool if I did.. I'm sure it was fair and the home owner was happy with my clean up. I like your humor though.

That shed holds next 7 years of wood , 23 cords. I have another shed closer to the house that holds 2 years worth , 7 cords. Small house, we burn 3.5 cords a year. Being years ahead with very seasoned wood and an EPA stove really keeps the wood usage to a minimum. Oak and Black Locust helps too.
