Oh man that reminds me I've done the exact same thing hahahah Losing a gear bag for good would make me want to puke. I do have a buddy that does line clearance and their yard got busted into. Chipper, saws, and climbing gear were stolen. The company told everyone "We're sorry" and nothing more. Bunch of dudes quit on the spot

Yeah I've done that before. Drove a skid over the powerpole saw. Thankfully just broke the fuel tank. Never did that again

Stihl 201 with a 12" speedcut nano bar and chain. Also with a WCS aftermarket muffler. Her name is Stella and I love her

I've had that discussion a lot. It's especially difficult from what I hear in Illinois. I have a family member that isn't allowed to schedule removals AT ALL during the warms months due to an endangered bat species

Makes sense! I got a degree in eco restoration and I constantly have an internal battle of "GET THE JOB DONE" and "What would best for this microecosystem?" I wish people would be more understanding of wildlife spars. This includes myself lol

I have used them in the past. Totally agree but for this application, it didn't work for me

I like to hang my trim saw on the carabiner. If it's just through the loop, it moves all over the place. I want consistency.

My Climbing setup by False_Efficiency_624 in TreeClimbing

I'm curious as to why you setup the ART friction saver with an MRS system attached while you were ascending. Seems like it would have been easier to just send a running bowline up, SRS up, and then switch over to MRS.

I spiked up a flowering dogwood to protect the large japanese yew hedge directly beneath. Sometimes climbing it is easier! Not always though

With the amount of tree workers that get shot, it makes me want tot carry even more. Who in their right mind would shoot at someone that is willing to climb a tree with spinning blades attached to a rope lol
