Tree spurring newby here. I am learning and taking out a bunch of trees threatening buildings on our property.
I have climbed a couple maples now and a pine and had no issues with my sharp Bashlin pole gaffs.
I climbed a big red oak the other weekend and the thick bark was causing me to gaff out more then is likely safe...
I only have about half a dozen more of these to climb and a new set of tree gaffs are pretty expensive @ $200USD for just a pair of gaffs for my old and worn shanks... https://www.bashlin.com/products/product/replacement-gaffs
Any suggestions on a way to make the situation better without dropping a couple hundy?
Cheers,
Jon
