    How busy are you this year compared to other years?

    Phone is slow, waiting for the ground to dry up so I can get the Avant involved. Had a few ‘maintenance’ days these last few weeks

    Dedicated stump grinder vs skid steer with grinder attachment? Pros and Cons?

    This has been discussed on many platforms. The consensus is usually that grinder attachements on loaders are a poor substitute. Partly because they don’t work very well and partly because the loader is tied up on the stump rather than doing more useful work.

    Tree felling vids

    I’ve only done small stuff, but I’ve found that it’ll always go sideways (depending on pressure on the broken top) you just have to work out which way it wants to go.

    Tree felling vids

    I was looking at that as well. They really do some crazy stuff when you cut them, a case of choose your side carefully. Whats the protocol for those from the forestry pros?

    Tree Swing - Rope and Anchor Tie

    That’s one thread I’ll never forget. Changed the way I work, not that I install rope swings you understand. Any sketchy tree where a client wants to save it or similar, I just say ‘it’s out or nothing’

    Bet he was finger blasting her all evening anyway. I doubt it ate him, they’re vegetarian.

    Branch walking, how do you do it?

    My nephew did that first time I saw him climb after college, swimming alongside an oak branch 12‘ diameter you could hang a car off. Yes it works, but on a daily basis on multiple branches it’s exhausting. In your scenario I don’t doubt it was the best/safest method I always say ‘if you can...

    Possible human remains? Or fertilizer?

    I’m guessing with that sort of fire awareness his house burnt down with him in it.

    Branch walking, how do you do it?

    I did indeed ask, and yes as ixsklr said, it’s a matter of time if he continues.

    Branch walking, how do you do it?

    Understood, I’m not srt savvy, so have to do whatever it takes. Even riding the pony on occasion.

    Branch walking, how do you do it?

    Well, yes. But when you fall off walking backwards (with tension on the rope) there’s a tendancy to try and right yourself, in doing that you fall sideways and spiral out of control.

    Branch walking, how do you do it?

    I’m sort of teaching my groundy at the moment, and the return is a technique I feel is the simplest and best for all but insane long walks.

    Branch walking, how do you do it?

    I was looking at the other thread and not understanding a thing about 3 in 1s for branch walking redirects and all that. So I’ll explain how I do it how I get out and how I get back. If I have a reasonably long walk out, I never or almost never do that walking backwards letting the rope out...

    Interesting, I’ve been in sales, some of it pretty tough cold calling. Some of the best ones were bereft of any sort of embarrassment, completely unaffected by repeated rejection, never saw it affect them.

    Yeah, lot of people feel the need to ‘be‘ something or other, make them more interesting, at least to themselves.
