    Look what followed me home...

    I have a major penchant for old winches. My father sold his Cooper winch and anchor that was behind an old Fordson Major. That was a sad day, it was perfect and irreplaceable congrats on that. Great find.

    Would you climb this?

    Tree Risk Management Pubs--At Last!

You can down the USDA Forest Service Urban Tree Risk management Document (210 pages). Thats the system I use for assesing all risks on campus, and in...

    What are these insects and what should I do about them?

    Can you take a better close up picture. If you know someone with a Blackberry Torch it has a close up mode in the camera, that will work. Do they fly? How long are they?

    True, but iin areas where Oak wilt is prevalent it willl prevent the Nitidulid beetles from landing on it and depositing their lovely pathogens. It is recommended that ALL cuts be painted in areas where Oak Wilt is present. The Nitidulids love your freshly opened wound. It will not harm the...

    Euc csanker-- Chrysoporthe austroafricana?

    I don't know much about Eucalyptus at all, although I used to think that they were a tough and drought tolerant species. They used to grow very well in England, and provide great fast growing cover. However since the drought has really taken hold here in Texas, over the last 6 months, I have...

    Habitat in Deadwood?

    I kind of agree with you, and although there may no direct scientific research benefits, just having as natural a habitat as possible can allow research to take place in an environment that is as true to nature as possible. This includes the preservation of dead/ dying plant materials. For...

    ISA Certifications

    I think any climbing exam, ISA/NPTC, or whatever is just to ensure that you have grasped the basic idea, and principles of climbing in order that you can perform safely. If you have been climbing for years obviously you are going to breeze it. The certified arborist exam is fairly easy also, but...

    Best Nails for Trees?

    What are those nails that the Plastic Tree Inspection Records are held on by? They have a protective rubber washer under the head and are super light. Its lighter than aluminium. Im guessing they were designed to be non-invasive.

    Anyone own an Airspade?

    I love my Airspade and it's paid for itself time and again. $250.00 an hour sems to be about the going rate. They are remarkable tools as I'm sure the thousands of earthquake victims that have been rescued with them will tell you. It was primarily designed as a rescue tool. Fun to play with...
