I got my junk in. The pole saw works fine under 20 foot of length, but the full 28' aint too bad, after you get it up. I cut out some dead wood on some pines at the local state park for some quick experiance as I was playin tennis there already. When I got home is when I put it out to the full length. It was alot to deal with, but I did cut some limbs out that were 30 feet up without too much hassle, after I got the pole up. The weight wasn't so bad, it was the flexing that came with the light weight. But then again, 28 feet is alot of pole.
I like the lid. It fits well, but the instructions with the muff/ shield couldn't have been less clear. I tossed them, and figured it out myself. The shield is tiny, but it should keep some stuff off my face. The visor add on is well fitting, and is plenty long, actually a little to long. I like the helment, but I might loose the shield, but I may keep the muffs.
On Rope is a good book so far, it focuses mostly on caving for the first bit, but some/most of that can be transfered to trees somehow.

The one 8' with the 2 6'es are fine. Occasionally I might go farther, but I will keep the 2 4's for the BS because they will fit behind the truck seat.
On some trees (like the one I was doin) at 30' up there wasn't really a good TIP unless you ran a bowline against the trunk. With the 28' pole you could really get some momentum goin to knock out deadwood.

Yes his element is much lower on the periodic table, down there with uranium and the other heavy elements.

What about the Chevy Aveo?
It might be cool, but I haven't checked it out in person yet. 10k if you get everything its still under12-13k.

Well I am sorry. I don't have a reason to be against Ford, just the local dealer. He reminds me of certain people. So my dad said no to Ford because of him.
