Proper Spiking

[murphy4trees]

I know a guy around here who was imfamous.... stories all up and down the suburban Main Line... So one of his tricks is to leave a rope up in the tree and say we'll be back to finish tomorrow, but I need to get paid today.... Right to the bank with the check and they never see him again.... Rope might hang in the tree for months.... He'll leave it there... Buying a new rope is cheaper than finishing the job....
Anyhow, it did seem to me that the Virginia arborist are a few years behind the Philly set.... like maybe 10...
Philly is probably a few years behind the west coast set.... Just a guess... not much evidence to base that on...

OK I met this guy that was getting back into treework after Isabel hit... I asked him if he climbed on a tauntline hitch.... He replied "HUH?"
Two under and two over I said..... "No I Am a speed climber" he said, "I use two under and one over"...

I've been a 'speed climber' all these years?

Cool.

I ran across this site again. My name is Harold McPeak. First of all that is not me on the BBB list I have a clean slate and second of all you all are talking that I don't see what you all see. This is because I'm smart. I didn't read a book, buy equipment, join a an organization then claim to be a tree man. I have onsite experience and intelligence to back it up. All you guys are doing is making the organizations rich while you do book taught tree services. I'll say one more thing you guys just don't get it climbing a tree once a year is not going to hurt the tree. Now if you were to climb this tree over and over like everyday, week or well I can't say for sure that once a month would hurt it, but if you do it constantly over and over YEAH it will hurt the tree. Don't be downing me because you learned something from a book book book!

I think what he's saying is he's McPeak and he's still been doing it wrong this whole time.

Laugh all you want. Its a terrible thing that tree men have to talk about stuff to other tree men just to have friends. You all do what you do and I'll do whats right just BE honest with people. I'm honestly laughing at myself for being honest with people (all of You) who aren't able to think for themselves. O O O O ONE more thing Asplundh and God can sure prove a lot of things to you MEN LMAO. Look at all the cutting on trees Asplundh does and the trees are still LIVING. Look at all the damage from tornadoes, hurricanes, floods or whatever GOD does and the trees are still LIVING. Don't worry I won't come back most of you don't have a clue unless there is a book or a youtube video to show how to do things.

The first sign of intelligence is realizing you don't really know something, that you thought you did.

Some folks are so dumb, they don't even have a clue that they are clueless!

"I can tell you from experience that spikes don't hurt trees..."
There was this scientists doing an experiment on a frog....
He cut off a front leg and said "Jump froggy, jump". The frog jumps. He cuts off the other front leg and says "Jump froggy, jump". Again the frog jumps. He then proceeds to cut off a back leg, and says "Jump froggy, jump". The frog makes an effort to jump. The scientist cuts off the last leg, and again says "Jump froggy, jump". The frog doesn't move. The scientist writes down in his book, " A frog with no legs cant hear."
If the shoe fits.....
