Uhhhhh....

I had such high hopes.

 

[rumination]

That was fairly anti-climactic.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Missed it by that much (maxwell smart voice)

.....if at first you don't succeed.....

Here's an assault on a Maple tree. I think you know how the story ends.

That one could have been planned better... JMO.. You had a lot of brush and low laterals in the way that should have been removed first. Granted, it is easy to arm chair plan instead of being the guy on the site. Just seemed a couple of those pics could have bit ya...

 

[MasterBlaster]

Not the way I'd have done it, but I've never met any two treeguys who did things the same way.

Cool.

 

[Husabud]

I am not sure I would have been tied in over my rigging point. Maybe I missed the lanyard.

 

[bonner1040]

Thanks for sharing. I think I would have cut the branch at 3:20 first.

Treework is Chess, not Checkers.

Cool.

No kidding, I probably would've cut and chucked most of that tree.

 

[RickyTree]

Thanks for comments. 3:20 protected shed that's why it was left. Never cut and chucked , hurt my shoulder the other week and less damage to ground this way. Cheers!

I kind of like a small cut and chuck every now and again.

 

[rumination]

Me too. It can be relaxing work for me, and I enjoy trying to hit the target perfectly with each toss.

When it's faster I use ropes. To cut and chuck this tree would have taken a lot longer than roping. Also trying not to work harder, just smarter.

 

[flushcut]

I wasn't implying that tree but some times it's fun.

[bonner1040]

I did a cut and chuck today!

 

[RickyTree]

I hear ya. Did a Manitoba Maple or Boxelder and thought I was roping it from the ground when I looked at it but decided to cut and chuck when I got up into it. And the occational flick because of the wires.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Did a cut and chuck leaning oak yesterday.. All to save some damage to surrounding trees. This thing was growing right over them. Had to pitch it all back behind me and only caught and swung back two tiny tops...

 

[flushcut]

Cut and chuck, the new rigging method.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Mini... move all the shat you had to chuck....
