  1. No shirts?
  2. No shirt?
  3. Pollard? Do you mean TOP??? H E LL-N O !!! Trim it and lighten the limbs, then cable it! Nothing to it! It's not like there's anything underneath it. Why kill it if there are no targets?
  4. All those cuts are missing is a 'lil tree paint, lol!
  5. I had a doberman nearly rip my ear off my head, once. The ER doc refused to touch it and I had to wait (holding my bloody ear) for three hours for a plastic surgeon to arrive. You couldn't even see the stitchs thet were so small and tiny. Those you were sporting were the work of a ER doc, sloppy. But hey, if you're happy that's all that matters.
  6. That's some sloppy stitching for sure.
  7. Think whatever, that's my opinion.
  8. Who poked Anna in the eye???
  9. I wouldn't go to work w/o my handsaw. If I had two climbers applying for one climbing position, and both were equal in all ways except one didn't have a handsaw, guess which one I would hire? Cranking a saw for every cut is INSANE, and besides that it damages the tree on things like watersprouts and tiny dead/twigs. There is no way I would believe anyone saying they're making proper cuts doing like that. No handsaw? Unbelievable. Carrying a handsaw is one of the marks of a professional.
  10. How does something attached to your saddle "rub off?" Do you lose your handsaw/lanyard like that, also? I plan on using a biner attached to the back of my saddle.
  11. When you do that "grid reference thing."
  12. I don't do it yet, but I'd like to. It can't hurt !
  13. I didn't know the price of that particular job, and I've yet to do a $10000 tree. The most that I knew the price on was that national cemetery job, it was $6500 or so...
  14. At least upgrade those archaic T pads to caddies or velcro wraps, or even Euc pads.
  15. Yea, nobody in their right mind would think of climbing that. Anyone notice the two lineman on the pole? They were repairing the service drop that was torn down when the limb broke and fell on those apartments below. It was a very high dollar tree.
  16. Here's the defect that prevented me from climbing/rigging the tree down.

    Dunno why you would wanna do that. The exercise? The Axe Men used chainsaws.
  18. Yea, I had a 'lil taste of that awhile back. Hope you get healed up quick!

  22. They bypassed the alarm system?
