    Helicopter tree removal

    Haha I actually was just train wrecking everything with a good power buck stump. Quantity not quality hahaha. I did have a log or two recently that didn’t tape out right for some reason. That was quite embarrassing lol. Instead of a 41 it was a 41.6…

    Helicopter tree removal

    The downwash was a huge factor when it came to pieces coming off a lil rowdy. Also with having to be on point with weights pieces weren’t able to be balanced like a normal crane pick. Most times you would add butt weight or tie out further on the tips. Eucs let alone are a hard tree to find a...

    Thank you for that, I knew it wasn’t I just wanted to clear the air. I’m thankful for them allowing me to work and put my little two cents in an industry I owe my life too but I wish I had more time or the verbage to write or even form a sentence. Much love guys! I’ve talked to Terri a bit but...

    Thank you, and if you have seen the TCIA article I was apart but did not write. I’m not a writer let alone someone who wants to. I contributed but it didn’t touch my advanced PowerPoint and talk I did this year. Don’t hate me 😂

    Helicopter tree removal

    Hey guys, it’s been a minute, it’s been a weird years for me in life and work. Cutting on the coast essentially shut down for me due to the steep drop in market value of redwood. Long weird fire season which I’m not a fan of in the first place. With that being said and all of that malarkey being...

    Cutting bushel is hard!

    It’s been a blast being in some decent sized wood. The ground is flat and the brush is non existent. Poison oak on the other hand is so awful that I’m starting to get it which I never have before.

    Yeah the tracing technique is my go to for most cutting and can be pretty accurate as long as you visualize where you set that far corner. I’ll look at the diameter and I also watch my gunning sight for where the tip is. Works pretty good and it’s quick. Sometimes the corners can be off if you...

    Cutting nasty snags this past week in the sierras, just soft dusty shit. I’m always impressed on how the pondos get so weak after the beetle. Sometimes after 6 months they can be unpredictable on the stump.
