After the intro there is uncut raw footage, showing 50 cuts in 15 minutes= 18 seconds a cut. Learned the term "wrecking" from Jerry's book, which I refer to in the introduction. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H3F-A1XxGYo" frameborder="0"...

I was riding with Guy in 2014 and got this gem of a conversation on tape..... just looking through some old footage and found it. Had forgotten about this bit. Gave me a good excuse to give Guy a call. He tells me the ISA and Best management practices etc in the US are falling way behind the...

Per Jerry B's suggestion that there is no finer subject " in the trade to spark insights and opinion" A careful study of this video gives some insight into the mechanics of the hinge wood when there is some height left to the fibers at the front of the hinge. I accomplish this by using the...

This is quick, safe and effective... Best used from the bucket due to greater stability in positioning.. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y_FQVPkbX4Q" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture"...

here's the latest video: 120' uprooted tulip tree, hanging over the neighbor's house, hung up in a smaller oak... Took a lot to stand it up, wasn't sure we could get it done.. Found a climber with the balls to climb this nasty tree.. triangulated guy lines made it safer than it looked, but...

Stig, how do you recommend cutting a conventional or open face when the bar is shorter than the hinge? This is a co-dom white oak that we had to rip the crotch down to about 3' height to get the first lead down.. Notch was cut clean, but it wasn't pretty getting there.... Ended up...

I've been looking through some pics of hinges from the last year... posting up a few pics ... nothing too crazy... some standard, some not so standard... this one not so standard

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hoping this day finds you and your families well... Rico and I are getting into it over at treebuzz again (ain't life grand?) And think this one is worth presenting to the community here... Regarding the tapered hinge, I will often cut off the entire compression...

this is a variation of the rigging used to swing horizontal limbs a long ways before they drop in order to clear a house or other trees etc.. Kenny (treespyder) originally wrote about swing rigging by tying off near the COG (center of gravity) and pre-tensioning the rigging line back on...

This is a cut I have been using successfully for a few years.. I call it the stangle, a contraction of steep angle... I first used it on a VERY dead maple, where climbing into the top looked a life threatening... There was a hole next to the tree where the top would fit if I could get it to...

Stig and all, Big sugar maple removal in the front yard.. wide canopy hanging over service wires, street primary, house, and jap maple... Medium Norway maple in the wide open backyard.. Load and a half of chips which is something over 30 yards... all wood cut and piled by street for log...
