  1. I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
  2. Quickbooks Pro here. We used PeachTree years ago but no more.
  3. Men can multi-task, too. Filmed in Idaho. http://www.thefunnystuff.net/viewmovie.php?id=609
  4. I don't do multiple limbs if heavy loads are involved. What I have done is to use a running bowline for the bottom limb.......and just clip into the line for higher limbs and let them slide down the line until they hit the bottom limb. I've also used a bowline with a fairly big loop and snapped in multiple biners, then cut.
  5. I've used it before. If I remember correctly the twists should contact the diameter of the tree for half of the tree's diameter and there should be at least six.
  6. I use the cow hitch because it can be tied with a minimum about of slack. I see from the link the timber hitch can be tied quickly and without slack also and may give it a try as it looks like a great option and takes less rope.
  7. I use my 200T one handed quite frequently in the tree but am always mindful of bar location, kickback potential and body location. I do a lot of one handed cut, catch and tossing. I will use either hand but never do I cross the bar with either hand or arm. I could not nor would I attempt to do this with a much heavier or rear handled saw. Ditto for bucket work.
  8. I hardly consider using advanced climbing hitchs and srt for getting into the tree as new school anymore. SRT is hardly new! My copy of 'On Rope' was printed in 1990 and the ideas were old even then.
  9. Silky Zubat, six loops w/ non locking biners clipped into a small figure eight, chainsaw lanyard, climbing lanyard, micro pulley/tress cord for vT, extra locking biner for double crotch/redirect. If I srt into the tree I keep the cmi frog system clipped on the back. Sometimes the Pantin on my foot but not often enough.
  10. Found you at TreeBuzz.
  11. Thanks. Nice website!
