Wow! While rigging? Weather (still windy)? So glad the everybody is alright.

I'm leaving the company and helping them find my replacement. As you may see, its been a while since I've been active on here so hit me at chrisvaughan2012@gmail if you have questions. Or respond through the ad and you'll get the owner. It's a pretty easy gig compared to production work. Lots...

Agreed, I've heard far too many odd stories about neighbors threatening workers with violence and firearms. I don't know if they just stand out to me due to how sensational they are (shark attacks) or if they are as big a danger as they seem. I'll bet clearance folks have quite a bit more...

Sorry, filled last week. I got the word today that the new hire passed all the background checks. Thanks for the interest.

chris v here still. I tried to "re-invent" my user name since moving from Bend for this job a year ago. Apparently I'm failing. anyway- I realize that most people are slammed out there right now, but I'm disappointed in the lack of interest. I heard about the these positions years ago...

Better idea, if you have time on your hands... six pack of beer Minature trees from hobby store, or branch cuttings. re-create landscape fire up blower/fan/shopvac.... have fun

Interesting thread Unity. I think you will find more info in here and Buzz if you search for it. I often wonder on a basic level how effective we can be at this. I figure the physics of trees and wind interacting are somewhat complicated when you figure in how trees oscillate and use what...

http://www.treemagineers.com/downloads/hitch_climbers_guide.pdf Just happened to read through this today, has me almost ready to throw down the cash on the pulley.

Good Read yes. I can't speak to the facts specifically, but anyone whose climbed big conifers would second guess the "historical accuracy" of the first chapter. I felt he was embellishing so well that I almost quit the book. The rest was good, but I resent the device of "hooking" the reader...

The thing that freaks me out is that our saddles our rated for "work positioning" not "fall protection". Always give me a second thought prior to climbing above my TIP. Especially looking down at the silly little clevis' on my Butterfly which probably pull at angles which will double any load...

nice and simple idear on the strap, definitely will safe some time there! Once I put on the scabbard I leave it on all day though and take the saw out when I'm on the ground. Unfortunately I have already worn through and broken my scabbard gotta do some jb welding.

Oh, you guys don't even know... I'm all about the "Rebel Yell." Cheaper and smoother, go's real nice with the egg nog this time of year!

sweet, thanks for sharing. I love it when papa bear goes to get firewood!

Oh, I've basically googled the heck out of this subject, but sometimes its best to just put it out there. Hopefully this thread may help someone in the future.

Sorry to be selfish and ask for comments on this folks, been real busy the past three months. Perhaps with our recent snow I'll be back in contribution mode soon. Anyway,... nailed my knee real good with the sugoi about six weeks ago. Skin healed well as bone stopped the saw from cutting...

Wisconsin isn't that far from Alberta right? You've gotta get out there! Or, the Bozeman Ice Fest is this weekend. A great venue to learn from experienced folks and try out sweet gear. I may bail out of here myself and hit the road.

How about it, is anyone going through the various sized and misshapen hoops to get some of these jobs. Specifically, I am talking about federally funded projects filtering down to different agencies. We've gone for a couple and the process of bidding is definitely involved. So far we...

After the the last "took an 020 to the face" thread, I have been looking for more protection. This weekend I considered picking up a full face kayakers helmet. Looks hot but effective. Oh, I am kevlar/carbon fiber in the HB "el cap" I like it.

If you want aluminum, MSR fuel bottles appear to work. At REI or you may find H20 bottles. I would try plastic water or pop bottle with a small mouth. Run webbing under the bottom and secure with duct tape.

ugh im like still lernin to read and stuff. Where did you find that?
