Makes having assistance even more productive.

I'll start having CoolVests ready.

June-uary.

Stack a trailer/ bed a few times, dump, throw it in loose, measure calibrate.

100%. A climber can easily tension and slack a speed line (foot ascender can be helpful, with or without controlling a lowering line, IME. An elevated bottom-end of speedline termination sometimes helps. As well, this can be done well while solo work forethought, and possibly more than one...

The climber can lower a lot of things for themselves, too.

I need a new shiny bauble! ;)

Nicely done. All I've got is lots of rounds and logs. Luckily, this past mid-winter we installed a large wood stove where there was a small wood stove previously. It takes big round...lots less splitting!

Wow!

You need to get down to the root flare. Search about root collar/ crown excavation, stem-girdling roots and SG root pruning, or hire an experienced arborist to do it.

I'm curious what trees you have at you own and customers' homes. I have three established apples, two new pears, 2 figs, an Asian pear needing a partner (the second for girdled by rodents) and a cherry. I've also got another apple and cherry in pots to plant. The almond doesn't produce...

@Maximalist how do you set your throw line/ weight in the tree? Do you throw by hand or use a BigShot or similar?

I wonder if it would work with the blowers in the water.

You can see the defect coming through the bark below the regrown, dogleg leader. I looked, but couldn't see that from the ground. I've seen cracks below doglegs before. A feller needs to be fleet-footed. Not my first walk-down of a hung tree, as I started in conservation forestry work...
