~ ~ ~ Side bar notes (the written equivalent of announcements) ~ ~ ~

Tree climbing basics and (maybe) some cool rope tricks will be ongoing throughout Friday and Saturday. Please ask Nice Guy Dave Stice, Jason Lindsey, Evan Bombardier, or Luke Schorer about protocols and procedures… please do NOT attempt to climb unchaperoned.

The Bend-Off… For fun and celebration this year we will holding a ‘BEND OFF’ throughout the weekend and are curious which limb device will come in last???

2:00pm to 3:00pm—>          Evan Bombardier… Basic Tree Biology for Builders of Tree Supported Structures… an absolute must if this is your first rodeo and you have sincere intentions of understanding proper tree selection.

3:15pm to 4:15pm—>          Rainer (pronounced Rye-ner)… Tree House Survivability…

                                                This interesting man wrote his Master’s Thesis on                                                                                     treehouses… this is an overview of what you need to know.

4:30pm to 5:30pm—>          Steve Chappell… The power and magic of the Framing                                                                     Square… this guy literally wrote the book.

THE BANQUET

2022 Presenters:

Michael GL – creator, owner, and operator of Out ‘n’ About Treehouse Treesort will be here for the entirety of the conference. ALL things treehouse and more… the original pioneer, who—like all great pioneers—has a one-name identity!. https://treehouses.com/construction.html

Pete Nelson – What MichaelGL said but with glitter!  https://www.treehousepoint.com/

Jake Jacob – of TreehouseArtz – Jake, a longtime friend, and cohort of MG (also an instrumental organizer and contributor to the conference) will be here to show off his expertise in rigging and a knot tying demonstration, as he likes to point out, he knows knotting. http://www.treehouseartz.com/

Michael Murphy – Michael Murphy aka Barefoot Murph of Barefoot Treehouses will be presenting “Deeper, Higher”:  Treehousing as a prayer for a new future grounded in an organic understanding of the living earth under our feet and the dreams of our ancestors.  https://www.barefoottreehouses.com/

Django & Isabella Kroner – From the Canopy Crew in the Red River Gorge will talk about how to recycle a tree to benefit your treehouse.  They will discuss reasons for removing a tree from your treehouse site, milling it for lumber for your build, chipping the canopy and inoculating for soil health, and using trees to dye and stain the interior of the treehouse.  https://www.thecanopycrew.com/

Charley Greenwood – indeed, the engineer who started it all!  Further developments—read: further down the rabbit hole of tree support systems… alive or dead, trees that is… with stories to prove it!!

Lee Hull – Movement practices and exercises for treehouse builders.

Mike Stam – A treehouse builder’s builder (and bridges too!!)

J’sun Lindsey – Bridges, tree climbing, and all around SIT stuff (SIT = Structures In Trees)

Luke Schorer – What J’sun said and more which rhymes with Schorer.

David Geisen – What it is like to start and run a treehouse design/build business—the do’s & dont’s!

Daryl McDonald – Engineered tree supports (i.e., the GL/TAB) and the structural integrity of treehouse hardware tied into the ‘Bend-Off.’ https://www.treehousepoint.com/

Scott Atkins – What Daryl said but more seriously. https://www.treehousepoint.com/

Mike Shulters – SketchUp artist extraordinaire.

Christopher Richter – All the way from Germany a SketchUp/iPhone/Lidar presentation.

Evan Bombardier – A clone of Scott Baker, but a whole lot younger (and better looking)… an arborist who explains tree biology & tree mechanics.

Dave Stice aka, Nice Guy Dave (& Whisky) – Aerial rescue and other safety tricks aloft (plus all sorts of gear from WesSpur Tree Equipment).

Rainer Reichel – A talk on Factors of Tree House Survivability

Steve Chappell is the keynote speaker
