Is it faster, does it corner better, better fuel economy .
Looks good man. I need to do the visors in my little beater hatchback I just got on the rd. It also needs a radio headliner, windshield, winter tires put on it, and some other tidbits. Just filled it up for the second time, I'm still a little under 30mpg , but I have only done short trips in it with a lot of stops, I was still hoping for better out of a stripped down model. I'll be putting winter tires on it later this week, that will probably cost another mpg.

Awesome! Sounds good, let me know when and we can meet up for some drinks and food.

I'll def check those videos out, I have some gear including a hard hat, glove bag, carabiners for my saws and what not but I'm going to be looking into some DDRT gear for sure. I know how to zip line branches down, I was taught that being a groundie. I'm hoping to learn as much as I can, I enjoy it and looking forward to going to the next level! [emoji16]

How far from Orlando are you.

Here's another guy. He has some long drawn out videos, many cool ones, but he takes a lot of time to show more than most do. This one is the first in a 3 video series he did on climbing.

Whats a glove bag, is that kinda like the man bag.
You can use that for holding loops/biners for sip lining branches. They sell zipline kits with a bunch of lops and biners in its own container. I was supposed to go drop a couple trees today but it got called off because the ground is too soft to get the tractor in (without damaging the yard), large maple leaning towards the pool and the house. It isn't bad, but why take a chance. So I went through a few things, I need a new throw line, I may be buying a spool and then selling a couple hundred ft off, need to look at the spool prices since I already have one other person looking for some it may make sense to do it that way.
You can spend thousands(I probably have 4-5k) on gear between climbing and light rigging, best to keep things simple unless you have deep pockets or get great deals. Even so you will find yourself using certain tools more than others, but when you need the others you don't want to have to pay full retail for it.
My new 5/8x200'.

We see them often. About a month ago I was watching them eat the berries off the poison ivy , guess they wanted me to fill the feeder or put some suet out.
Little guy.

Wow, is that by you.
Been near the mammoth caves in southern KY, never been in. A buddy of mine was down there, they rented electric mountain bikes, he said it was a blast(that coming from a guy who has mountain bikes in the 2-5k range).

It's a hour drive away in Branson at Silver Dollar City. In the Cathedral room the had a little hot air balloon rally at one time.

And you couldn't bike in this cave in one spot I almost had to crawl.

Thanks man! Gonna tune it to make it faster next [emoji1689] strut bars make the turning great. There's that hatch in the yard, do you want me to go look for you and see if there's anything compact I can ship to you? You can just cashapp me.

I'm like 30/40 mins from Orlando. My friend is a lineman for Duke Energy and gave me the Salisbury glove bag, some heavy duty carabiniers, scraps of rope to practice knots on, and 2 hard hats, one is a camo 3M that's awesome and can add a face shield to it if need be. I got a nice new padded set of gloves a few months ago, helps with picking up thorned palm frownds and whatnot [emoji41] that's a nice set of rope! I'll probably have my own collection here soon haha. I've been looking at used sets.

Of course the customer claims he doesnt have mice in his garage.



Little bit of thinning.

I never really thought of that.
It seems its only at certain times they eat them, like its something they need in their diet or because the bugs are frozen and not moving and they cant find them so why not grab a couple berries, whatever it works for me.
Cool birds for sure, but they can do some major damage to a tree, most of the holes they make are about 2-3"x 4-6" and 4-5" deep. I've seen the cherry trees grow right over a large hole like that in a yr, its amazing, but not all trees do that well with that kind of damage.

Thats awesome.
So if you had to almost crawl in, how did they get all that crap down there, maybe you need to pay next time you go .
