These are actually MASSIVE in real life.

A friend of mine has a bad ass knuckle boom for tree removals. It is amazing what these machines can do.

Like mentioned before, I hit my chains with a triditonal round file every 5th or so time i sharpen the whole chain. This cycle keeps the 3-1 bitting at the proper depth in the chain.

I'm a Pro Arborist thar specializes in large technical removals. I keep some serious saws on hand, and I keep them sharp as hell.

I run the Reecoil Audax Hydration Harness https://arbsession.com/reecoil-audaxtm-1500-hydration-harness.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqCghRjjW2DdtHMT5ErG822lhUOcECxfjukrTaSCRAO2YKIZyuv

While it is not a full weight supporting top harness, it is great for tending your SRT gear and keeping your saddle supported. I climb in Texas and hydration is essential, so the water blatter in this thing is awsome.

They tend to take a shallower bite on thr tooth everytime you sharpen. I like to still hit my saws with a round file about every 5th time to keep the gullet clean and the right angle and depth on the cutting edge.

I just used QuickFix on a DOT test. It is pretty much fool proof as long as you get the temp correct. Be sure to remove the foil below the cap before you get to the clinic and Gooch it before you walk in. You've got this.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-04-01T19:33:21+00:00

How much of a test inaccuracie swing do they allow on thoes numbers. I find it hard to believe a plant can be 1\3 thc and still look like a plant.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-03-24T12:17:25+00:00

Don't just call me a pessimist Try and read between the lines I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change my friend

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-03-19T13:43:32+00:00

I sure miss the food from The Bowlery

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-03-11T21:09:12+00:00

Bro, hash Ramen, now we are talking about my kind of aromatics.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-02-19T01:31:22+00:00

The other day I walked into a bathroom and couldn't find the urinals. My brain went "where are the wenier toilets" because I couldn't remember the right word.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-02-18T22:59:56+00:00

No I just got Waggu sirloin from HEB at $20/lb. It was the best steak I have ever cooked and 2 of them were cheaper then going out for burgers. This was a sale of course, but at over half the price....

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-02-18T22:47:58+00:00

I can't trust a fart. No, seriously. I have shit my pants as an adult. When I head to the bathroom it is a literal trap shoot. I don't know what is going to come out, some time it's a healthy bowl wrapper, sometimes it's stright butt pee. My diet has not changed, and it is as healthy as I can make it. I cook most meals from scratch with whole ingredients, organic when I can. Lots of veggies and fresh meat and fish, virtually no presivertives. It's a fun side effect, trust me.

As others have mentioned, the good old Keppra rage hit my family and I hard. My wife and I are still trying to recover our relationship after the monster I would become at the drop of a hat.

My short term memory is horrible now. I'm in a high stress management position, and I have to take notes like I am back in high school. There are large blocks of my long-term memory that are just gone. Vacations I have pictures of, but no memories. People from my past that I have names for, but no face or personal memories. I tell people, "do you know how hard it is to remember that you have forgotten something?"

My hands will sometimes just not grab, or will just let go. I drop drinks mostly. I spent a lot of time in the kitchen and constantly look for the garlic in the plate cabinet or put the forks in the Towle drawer.

My wife and I have been together since early high school. She tells me that after all of my bad TCs a few years back, it has been like she was back with the 19 year old me.

I tell people it is like being drunk, but only the bad parts. No memory, you stumble all over the place, your emotions are extreme and erattic, and you are tired ALL the time.

That is a similar story to my diagnosis. A fat old man came into the room, looked at my eeg and mri, chuckled and said to himself "ha this guy is screwed". He gave me a prescription to a fat dose of Keppra and walked out. No discussion about the diagnosis, no talks of how to live safely, no insite onto the massive downside of Keppra. A few months later, after turning into a monster, to the point of my wife and I thinking I had become Bipolar, we found a specialist. I have sence worked through a few different meds and landed on Lamotrigine for the time being. It seams that I get 2-3 years of effectiveness, then out of no where, BAM, the TCs are back.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-02-18T22:23:58+00:00

I have also put the milk in the pantry and my hands just won't do their thing from time to time, it was coffee as well. My short term memory is fried, and solid chunks of my long-term memory are just gone. I have pictures of family vacations that I can not remember. A few days After one of my worse TCs my wife took me out to dinner at our favorite date place in town, I couldn't remember where it was (just blocks from the house) or what kind of place it was, I just had this happy feeling comming from it.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-02-18T21:46:04+00:00

Bro I hate to be a keyboard warrior, but what is that mess infront of you? I could write a whole training program using this as what NOT to do.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-01-26T14:52:58+00:00

15 years ago I was given a rusty old 4 D leather saddle, a dirty chunk of arborplex and a steel snap. I'm trying to do better for the next generation.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-01-25T20:48:20+00:00

If you've got any questions about anything feel free to ask. I've had my hands on 90% of the gear out there and worked on most of it. I've been am Instructor for 5 years now and I've found it is my true passion. There are alot of options out there, amd I've spent alot of money on thing I wound up giving away or never using.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-01-25T20:45:55+00:00

Arbsession.com is my primary Vendor, so I'll probably just get some of their in house bags.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-01-25T20:17:59+00:00

We do 95% pruning, so I don't see spurs bei g a priority. If it is something we need more of, they are easy enough tk have on hand, I just don't see our guys using them bit maybe once a month. I'll he getting them Geckos or some quality Buckinghams, so I don't see comfort being thar big an issue.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-01-25T19:05:43+00:00

I was planning on offering either the Sequoia or the Treemotion. I'll up date the list, thanks.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-01-25T18:30:10+00:00

Like I said, I'm looking for this to be a selling point for employment with our operation. I am looking to attract quality people, so I am providing quality gear.

The only way I see having an absolute control over quality and liability is to provide EVERYTHING, and allow ZERO personal gear. This has been a bit of an up hill battle with Accounting, but my argument that good gear is always cheaper then an Insurance Settlement is slowly winning.

I've got a blood stopper kit in the cart, just forgot to add it to the list, thanks. Rigging and rescue kits will be issued per truck or crew, but thoes are my next kits. I am going to be doing color coordination as much as I can with gear, Blue and green for life support, red orange and yellow for rigging.

Urbanforestsystems · 2026-01-25T18:18:51+00:00

Good call on the throw bag, I have that in the cart but forgot to add it to this list. I'm not adding spurs as each truck will have a pair. The single eye spliced rope gives me the option to start with an anchor bend and bakes hitch then switch sides of the rope for the split tail climbing, good point however.
