[@trimbaker1893]

"eyeball contact on the clip" great point. I was tired and re-positioned my flip line, caught it and clipped it in, " click" great...kept working. I had not made eyeball contact. I just heard the click. When I was coming down to fell the stem, I saw as I was descending that I had been working with my flip line clipped into an accessory loop next to my D ring. I feel sure that that loop is made of great stuff and stitched like it will save a life...but its not the D ring. Eyeball contact, every time. its a rule. : )

[@buckeyeViews]

That’s crazy I had the same exact experience except I was clipped in to my petzl caratool that’s plastic I got lucky my flip line Beaner didn’t slide off cause the gate had broken off a time prior

Excellent point. Good mini operators are the unsung heroes of modern tree work lmao. Prob is they make not breaking things , scuffing siding and not digging up yards look easy , but there's a lot of thinking going on.

[@johndunbar2393]

The whole crew is great, truly, but Adam Zoppo (I think I got that right) is the real MVP, on dang near every job. It's easy to focus on August and Damien with them being the focal points of the camera most of the time, but I am beyond impressed with the countless times Adam is in the background scrambling, or staging stuff, and everything else he does. The second there's a gap big enough for him in the gate, he's through and fires up the chipper and then hustles back to assist August, I presume. That man is always 3 steps ahead. Bravo Adam! You are noticed and you definitely impress, fella! Great work!

[@AugustHunicke]

I agree with you, he’s awesome, but it’s not a competition. We don’t have an MVP.

[@johndunbar2393]

@@AugustHunicke Of course not. I used MVP as an analogy only. It takes a team and is a team effort.

[@AugustHunicke]

@@johndunbar2393 ya, Damien 😁 does more for the company than anyone else. Jeff, is ready to do anything and has nothing he feels is beneath him. Adam is consistent head down and working drudgery with a seeming zeal for it. If there was a least valuable person, it would be me, no joke. I am nearly completely unnecessary for getting the job done most of the time but I own the company, So I guess making the platform has importance but not to job-site specifics, except when my experience rarely brings efficiency that would have been absent.

I get it. It's easy to get lost thinking ahead . Like for example, your brain is grinding the stump of the tree you're still tied in to lol.

[@kevinhammatgameoftrees7080]

If I had to break a fence a brand new one would be preferable to a kind of old one as it’s easy to match:). I find a GRCS is invaluable in such cases. Great job on this old girl August. I thought about buying that ascender, but I might only use it three times:)

[@zyanidwarfare5634]

Well if it was a old fence it would still look ok, just give the entire fence a bit of a touch up and paint it so it all looks new

[@NiftyMCD_Australia]

Which is correct patience or patients? The words "patience" and "patients" are homophones: They sound the same but have very different meanings. The noun "patience" refers to the ability to wait or endure hardship for a long time without becoming upset. The noun "patients" is the plural form of "patient"-someone who receives medical care.

I was once asked to drill a 4” hole through 18” of steel-reinforced concrete. I planned on wet-drilling with a drill strapped to one fork of a forklift. But there was a computer server right below where they wanted the hole. I was told it couldn’t be turned off and couldn’t be moved. No problem, I said. I could just destroy it in place! There’s always an unacceptable alternative. Don’t be afraid to offer one!
