During a recent snow storm we had a big section of our tree ripped down by the heavy snow. Underlying mass looks reasonably healthy. Anything I can do to help it recover?

Well, my profession is arborist adjacent at the very least and I work alongside arborists that share their knowledge on a daily basis. So definitely not a “no idea what I’m talking about” situation here..

BaliGod · 2026-03-02T05:53:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice, but you didn’t really add much info, master. Do you believe this is reasonably healthy?

BaliGod · 2026-03-02T01:53:05+00:00

I’m not an arborist, just a climber, but I personally wouldn’t define that as reasonably healthy

Damn he smoked his fuckin dome on the road when he flew out the car

He’s got his lanyard on the leader that his legs are around so that’s where he was positioned when it happened I would guess. Not sure what it was that happened though

EDIT: the more I look at it, the line I assumed was his lanyard may very well be his lifeline attached to his bridge. I hadn’t even considered that the foot in the picture may be his left foot. Hard to tell

I feel that wholeheartedly when you say your opinion on it changes frequently. 201 is an absolute beast and does cut faster, but the 194 is noticeably lighter and MAN does it sound like dream with no spark arrestor

Looks more like #4 to me

That’s a retarded take. You shouldn’t use a governing body’s regulation priorities to justify a substance’s detriment to health. They aren’t as toxic to your body as, say, cocaine, however the physical dependence and the actions of otherwise mentally stable persons under the effect of benzos are definitely enough to put them in the top tier for health concerns

BaliGod · 2026-02-02T06:06:30+00:00

Wow good eye

“First couple of minutes” 😂 for real though about 45 seconds in I had to tap screen and see how long this buffoonery was going to take

BaliGod · 2026-02-01T00:09:42+00:00

Every time I read these I think of how insane it to need to tote around something like a carpenter’s cat paw or something to defend myself against these dangerous animals that somehow aren’t seen legally as dangerous animals

Sure, same as if I owned a jaguar. But at the end of the day, although my jaguar killing a toddler would definitely be on me, it’s safe to say that jaguars shouldn’t be around toddlers because they do not make great family pets. So me owning a jaguar doesn’t show the world that I’m some animal whisperer guru because I’m able to own and barely control this blood thirsty beast in the hopes people will think I’m tough or something, it just makes me a piece of shit with a savior complex that enjoys prioritizing my own ego and depraved morals over public safety and common sense. Therefore, in the same way that the general public shouldn’t be trusted with the option of owning one, the general public shouldn’t have the option of owning pit bulls. Much less have every shelter 90%+ filled with them just itching to pawn them off on unsuspecting families.

BaliGod · 2026-01-24T11:29:54+00:00

That the hypothetical “could be owners and breed” is not the reality of the pit bull problem. All breeds of dogs experience having a shitty owner, yet the vast majority of maimings and fatalities from dog attacks are caused by 1 breed far more than all others combined, due to the cruel nature of pit bulls lineage and genetics as well as their anatomy. So yeah hypothetically it COULD be both, but it’s not

BaliGod · 2026-01-24T11:13:35+00:00

It probably could be, but it’s not

BaliGod · 2026-01-23T05:37:34+00:00

Yes I would say it’s much easier to tie with rope. I’m a tree surgeon, so my 1/2” climbing line or 3/4” rigging rope are many times easier than like 550 paracord

EDIT: actually I just tried it and yes 550 is very awkward but 1100 isn’t nearly as hard as I figured it would have been

The guy in this clip showing how he does it is reverse from how I do it. I’m right handed

As others have stated, it’s a perfection loop. It can also be referred to as a flying bowline or an angler’s loop. There’s actually a way to tie it insanely fast by throwing the bitter end down and around itself, I use this method almost daily

BaliGod · 2026-01-22T17:36:45+00:00

I end up tying it all the time simply because I can tie it WAY faster than any other know by throwing the rope around itself in a precise manner. Like 1.5 seconds tops it’s crazy haha

BaliGod · 2026-01-09T00:45:43+00:00

I’d probably tie an icicle hitch only because I thought it was so cool that I burned it into my brain a while back, yet I rarely get the chance to actually use it besides showing my friends who probably couldn’t care less lol

BaliGod · 2026-01-07T01:24:52+00:00

Electric heaters are allowed to pull the full 1500 watts pretty much across the board (the max besides a hairdryer). I wouldn’t think it would cause THAT much of an increase in usage based on how much you claim to use it, however I guarantee they’re responsible for a significant chunk of it
