Hiya all, haven't been on here for a few years, but thought I might share my recent kickback experience as a possible learning experience for others. Prior to this I have experienced minor kickbacks. The sort you can control simply by armstrength. The sort that lull you into beleiving you have...

Better to play it safe.... Call the airforce and order a ground zero nape strike!

This is a very tragic story. The whole family is going to bear the scars from this a long time. As a parent the father will be searching his soul forever wondering how he could have prevented it. The 17 Y/O will probably wake up screaming from nightmares for a couple of years. I hope the 10 Y/O...

Good to see this thread is finally going somewhere worthwhile!

I thought erotic pictures weren't allowed! :laugh:

I have often thought there should be a register of climbers trained in aerial rescue available to emergency services. I have no idea how one would get something like this going. Anybody got any ideas? RIP Tree Man.

Hi Bermie, long time no read... I should think light pruning would be ok. The biggest danger is sunburn I would think and if you get it done before it 'leaves' it should be able to put leaves where ever it needs them prior to the full heat of summer. Poor compartmentalizers so keep the...

Happy Easter Everyone! A very Happy Easter to all members of AS. May you all be surrounded by family and friends and bask in the warmth of their companionship.

Good use of the day MD. Best wishes for your friend.

Thanks for coming back to me on this one nomak. Your reasoning seems OK to me. You got the tree down safely, good job. You are obviously a little more skilled than I gave you credit for. Marking the cut lines with the paint was a v/good idea. Looks like you took out a little too much hinge on...

No and No! My employer supplied truck is equipped with: 2 * Stihl MS200T Stihl MS441 Stihl MS440 Stihl MS250 Stihl MS660 Stihl HT75 Power Pruner All of which I use and maintain every day. I guess that's two people at least who consider Stihl a superior saw! Personally apart from a...

I think there is something we can all learn from this.... Huskies are crap!!!

And Bill Gates gave me 1 screen with 101 keys - prepare to read my opinions! :)

Great Job Ya got it down, got it dun!:clap: Congratulations, that was a scary looking tree. That but moved a long way when it rolled on that branch. And your hinge looks pretty good from here for a noob. Sounds like you were pretty thorough. :clap:

Hope ya know what ya doin! Forget the cooling costs, what about your insurance premiums if it all goes wrong! Good luck flattires! Hope your home is over insured! Can you show someone how to update this thread before you try it, just in case. A film would be awesome. :jawdrop:

I've got one of those 'T' shaped chainsaw hooks sewn into my Buckingham Traverse. I also use the break away lanyard. I have a caritool as well (on the other side) but I wouldn't trust it with any weight more than a couple of pounds. Note - If you are going to get your harness modded got to an...

I had an interesting one today. Jobsheet read: goto address xyz - small tree under carport against fence. Remove tree and grind stump - 1 hour.:clap: I get there and there is a 15-20 foot tree (didn't recognize species) sandwiched between carport and fence. The carport has an alsanite roof -...

Dude, we touch 'em every day! So tell us - how can you perform research if you don't touch the trees?

Really makes you realize why we wear helmets! I pulled a small dead limb onto myself with a throw line. Got my right upper arm good. No break, but out of action for a week from the bruise.

Use of vernacular. Confirmed. Why would a woman be offended by being called a pansy? If you called Bermie a pansy she would just laugh.......as she fired up her 66. Now if you were gay, then.....
