  1. Yogi 93 You should sign up for a tree climbing coarse or have someone that has experience in tree climbing show you the fundemental steps in climbing and safety. That way you'll have hands on experience which would be much safer than learning by yourself. And you'll see how the techniques are applied in the Tree Climbers Companion (Jeff Jepson). An arboriculture class or two would also be most beneficial.
  2. Are you doing anything to treat Elm Leafminer? I did a little research and found a somewhat environmentally safe insecticide called "Spinosad", have you ever heard of it? What have you learned on treating Elm Leafminer?
  3. Very inspiring video. One of my favorite trees. Watched this vid and part 2. Refreshing to see someone do some tree work other than a removal. Good job educating yourself and awesome selection of music to go along with the vid. Keep up the good work even if its volunteer. As time goes by I bet you'll start to gain a reputation as an arborist that does tree work, even if you don't climb. As you know alot can be done at ground level.
  4. Not to downplay the above mentioned comments by the adminastrator but, compared to other arborist forums I feel for the most part that Arbtalk ranks as one of the more respectful arborist forums on the net. I wish that any arborist that is registered with any arborist forum would give prudence before replying to a thread with vulgar, sarcastic, or disrespectful tone because it might be viewed by somebody that is not an arborist. An example would be if a home owner that hopes to gain some reputable insight on arborists in general checks into an arborist forum and stumbles across discussions that are roguish or unprofessional. In turn the home owner has a tarnished feeling towards the so called professional arborist. I say let's be respectful and act professional in any arborist forum so as not to discredit the practice of arboriculture. Not all of us are here to give advice but to learn from one another.
  5. It's reasurring that nobody has any stories of a tie in point breaking due to the cold.
  6. While Climbing a Big Leaf Maple today I was tied in close to the upper most tips wondering if the stability of the branches might suffer from the cold; it was in the mid 20's. Does anybody have an experience of a branch that they were tied into breaking in the cold? It just seems in warmer weather that wood is more pliable compared to wood in cold weather that is in the freezing range. Shoud this be of any concern while climbing?
