"eyebrow raising" Yes, that's exactly what it was. Even more so on that last branch.

Jeff is still buzzing at the end of the vid in your truck.
Great feeling to have after a job like that.
Good work all.

August: I readily admit that you are easily twice the tree guy that I am. I learned a ton from you and deeply admired a now ancient GoPro natural crotching vid that you did over the house in which you did gutsier stuff than I think that I would have done. I'm not blowin smoke when I say that I deeply admire you.
However. Don't you feel that crane work is exceedingly boring... about like doing construction, or working in an assembly line in a fish cannery? I stinkin hate it compared to conventional work. We have a slightly bigger crane than yours, and I loathe the times when I'm sent out on the crane crew. Choke a piece, torch it off, choke a piece, torch it off. "What am I good for here Brian?"... "uhhh, yer good fer 2 grand." Choke two grand, torch it off.
Moreover, the videos are unwatchable for me. Do you like conventional work better?

Once you've gone crane, you'll never refrain!

I see it how you do Jed. I do wish for a crane most days though. I’ve done one crane removal in the last ten years though. I have a friend that has done nothing but crane work for two years straight and whines to me how he misses the complexity of rigging. I love the fact that I can figure out how to do the job with out one but know that there are better, safer, and more efficient ways to do a job.

I like that one Butch. That’s a keeper. Jed, my favorite work is tree falling. But I like to make money so I love the crane. Thanks all, I just posted this video up and then promptly spent three days in the woods with no cell just the family. Really a nice time. I have a video coming up with a pick in it that is just for Butch.
Jed, guys, I’ve got 25 + years of tree work experience mostly without fancy things. Ie: bucket trucks, skid steer, crane. I love the crane. It makes me happy.

THE CALM ONE!!!!
Y'all are nuts. Cranes rule. I never owned one. But I loved hiring one in. The bigger the better.

I think that last video really shows how much better a crane is. Imagine without: the cleanup would have been a pain, and there'd be an increased risk of broken glass from dead wood flying off as each branch is cut. I imagine it saves enough labor that nobody ever gets too worn out by the end of the week.

And always remember! The treeco with a crane can usually throw down the lowest bid and, if the crane's paid for you can remove the "usually" from the equation.

Ya, I want bigger rear mount. But til then I’m thinking about having outriggers put on the front of the truck.

DON'T THINK ABOUT IT!
Install a front stabilizer!
Not really an outrigger.

Cute little critters. I can't believe he petted it, even took it in hand. Love it.

I've often wished I had football shoulder pads on when TDing one of those crispy critters.

Smooth as silk! Nice!
Wow that is awesome the critter let him hold him. Great footage and humor re the lil magic carpet guy 
Outside of tree work Ive never seen even a sniff of a flying squirrel. Well, one time, right after I read that if you knock on a tree trunk that has a nest hole in it, they will sometimes look out of the hole to see wut up. I did and he did. I was like wow. Lol that was the first and last time that trick has worked for me.
