They make really good videos and put out some good information for sure, but I would want someone to save me time and money if I were thinking about buying a crimper.


I'm liking what I'm hearing now. I share your thoughts on crimping. At one time I thought I needed one, but after learning more of what it takes to effectively terminate by crimping, I don't see the benefit. With you on habitat too. A hatchet and a spray bottle will do a lot to improve a piece of property.

Absolutely! Your greatest strides will be made through habitat work. It’s a whole lot more cost effective too. You can do a lot of good for not much money using a chainsaw/hatchet & some herbicide.

I cut down hundreds of volunteer loblolly in my long leaf stand this spring. I also hack/squirt girdle/squirt and sprayed hundreds of trees this summer. I went full out assault on my sweet gums and killed a lot of other trees. I’ll do more next year for sure.


Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!
