Great idea, Peter. I will check... Gary, I think it's a "DB Power" or sumpthin'...

Over the past few weeks, I've hung and and trimmed out two stands, put in a mineral lick, and got my pop-up blind set on my private land spot. I've also done a LOT of online scouting of the public land near me. I've not hunted it before, but I don't want to go banging around in there so close...

Peter, you do NOT want to see ANY artwork produced by me. Instead, here are a few visual aids: I could not do this: Instead I did this: Which had a similar effect on efficiency as this: :lol:

What was salvageable is HERE in an attempt to poke some fun at my shocking button-pushing ineptitude...:|:

Thanks, Ray! Good to be back amongst the tremendous T-Housers! Are you getting ready for the hunting season?

So you know that part when you're psyched to pull the super HD video of your awesome treecuttery off your el cheapo GoPro clone, and it turns out you had an extra button press in there somewhere, so when you thought you were pressing "on" you were actually pressing "off" and there is exactly...

Thanks, Fi! I'll try to keep my wits--such as they are--about me! If I can get the knock-off Go Pro to work there'll likely be PLENTY to critique. Just nothing major I hope! It's good to read you too! :)

Thanks, Peter! First one is just a flop (may have to pull out a hanger first). Once #1 is down, I may have an angle to flop #2 without topping it. We'll see... Regardless, it's tree work and just about ANY tree work can bite you in the arse! :/:

Thanks, Butch. Will do! :thumbup:

Hi, everybody! Hope you're all happy and healthy! Can't believe I haven't made a TH post in nine months! :cry: Glad to be out of hibernation and gearing up for a (smaller) two-tree project tomorrow. Won't be anything terribly special, but I AM going to try to shoot some video for the first...

Been a little nutso at work, but I wanted to circle back and get some stump pictures put up. This is what was revealed when the Deader Than Dead Maple went over: As you can see, the "hinge" (such as it is) had to run through the knot of the smallest stem. I was glad I had a pull line on...

Thanks, Fiona. That diagonal cut idea stuck with me too; I'll have to try it. Yum! Glad I dodged that for now, Peter. Though there may be one in my future! :|: Thanks, Sam. When you're learning to crawl, progress is easy to measure! :thumbup:

Lots of nuggets there, Sean. Thanks. In the "FWIW" category, I'd say it's worth a fair bit! :thumbup:

Thanks, fellas! Not feeling confident by a long shot, but starting SLOWLY to feel more capable! ;)

He's a funny guy, Samuel! Wait till you see the stump pictures! :O

Thanks for that, Butch. What I was TRYING to do was tip tie the piece so the butt dropped. Now that you point it out, this was closer to a mid-point tie, and I could have gotten a mouthful of maple! Thankfully, my groundie let it hinge perfectly (after multiple reminders to let it run), and I...

Well, yesterday was a LONG day. Worked from about 10am till dark. Largely because I am a tree sloth... Basically, all that was left was the long smaller leader and the broken out main stem. As we covered previously, the trunk was bound with three 2" ratchet straps: I started by climbing up...

Amen! :lol:

Feels good, Mick! I get as much sense of accomplishment from tree work as anything I do. :thumbup:

The King is dead; long live the King! (And the court jester survived.) Details to follow...
