Am I? When should I expect an apology for the incessant trolling that appears to go on in every post I make?[/QUOTE

yes I think you calling Bob white trash was over the line. Take a look at oldirty's comment right after that and ask yourself how many others here feel similarly. I doubt many feel you were in the right with that comment.

Try and grow some thicker skin would be my best advice to you, try and step around what you consider dogcrap, there is no need to step in it.

Try to be more maneuverable, you'll gain more respect for it and have less stomach knot at the same time. You will never gain that respect from your peers via whining. These are tree guys for crying out loud! ;)

Relax a little, apologize to Bob, keep your head up and work on your footwork and calluses.

Did Plas go over the top? Yup. Did Bob really have to make that comment? Probably not, let those two slug it out. We all know TreeCo and Dan have beef. Since Plas has worked with Dan, then Plas has joined the TreeCo doghouse. I would just ask that the BS nit picking between these sides stop. Both are at blame.
 
OK OK Bob (googlit), I admit that calling you white trash was over the top and not very nice at all.

I just hope that you realize that I AM the real deal as far as trying to LEARN this stuff. Am I the real deal in the tree? Hahaha, I wish. Ask Mister DanBen, I look like a retard, quite literally, when trying to work position myself especially when it involves any swing action.

I have a job coming up that involves rigging down some maple branches over a house, I better read up on roofing before I even sharpen the chains and gear-up my truck. :cheers:
 
i have 5 lines.

a short one like 50 ish ft.

1 100ish foot long

1 150ish foot long

and 2 200ft long.

use the 150fter on a big tree and bring the short one up with you for when you have make a dynamic move of some sort. another rope in the tree on a big prune is a good thing. spikes will get you to ever cut, this is true. sometimes you gotta think though it out when pruning. a 2nd line set as another TIP is great for working positioning. its up to you to set it up so that it isnt a pain to work with.

you cant have too many ropes as a climber.
Think about spikes when your pruning , hopefully your spikes are the last thing your thinking about when pruning C'on do I need to teach you everything Mr. 8K top ?

lol.

i shouldve separated that line.


what i was referring to when spiking on a removal you can put yourself anywhere you want (reasonably speaking) with spikes on.

by bringing another line with you (a whole nother climbing set up really, as stated before (i have 2 lines readytogo at all times and will go old school with the tail end if need be)) on a spikeless prune you can get yourself into a better working position to make just about every cut properly.

thank you for making me make myself a bit more clearer.

now if you all will excuse me, oldirty got himself a date to get ready for. and with any luck i'll be getting a little honey on the stinger.

have a good night fellas!

ANd that's right I got him up there , he got no eye glasses nor no helmet, the gloves are off. That #### is no good right now baby, just forget about it for a awhile and we will just see.
All you old time internet arbo trolls think you got it when you bash Plas over the net but I got this boy all to myself and you all had best watch your ####ing manners.
So now Plas you give me a shout when you are ready to huck them maple limbs off that roof. I'll bring the chipper down and hold the rope for you.

CHEERS!

I did get a longer lanyard this week from Sherill Clause by the way Dan, as well as a few other goodies to get me into more trouble.
 
At least you ain't spending your money on drugs kid.

Yea, not yet. So I went with a CMI right foot ass-ender. Thing it built like a tank and weighs about as much too but it's real nice.

Also I think I'm switching to a Valdotain prussik on my DRT setup, the head honcho at American Arborst showed me the other day and I liked it.

Thanks for thinking of me TMD.
 
I didn't read all the reply's but did anyone suggest having two in case you are injured while working? Then your rescuer would have a rope to use. Arial rescue ya know? I got two ropes as soon as I could. On big climbs when you double tie with one rope you may not be able to retreive tools n such cause you havn't enough line. Then you'll be saying yep I need two for sure.
