Felling a back leaning stub

[SouthSoundTree-]

Perhaps with a humboldt? I don't know if it would cause it to slide down the trunk, though, on second thought.

It's down! Nice open face with a slanting back cut for insurance, went perfectly

You always get 'em on the deck without a problem Ben...top job as usual, mate. The weather didn't help but you three did great. Shame I didn't have more $$ on it.....Winter work is Winter work though, eh?

[SouthSoundTree-]

Looking forward to it.

Cool vid and stills. Any a you folks out there in cyber land want to see some crazy Benn vids, check out when he was doing cleanup after hurricane Sandy, climbing around and thru wires while the whole 'hood was blacked out, spooky and memorable.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Nice, Benn.

I misunderstood about the face at the top of the ivy. I thought you had to dump it from 15' to fit it into a lay.

 

[treebilly]

Nice job. Wouldn't have done anything different myself.

 

[Bixler]

Nice, when I saw the original post, i immediately thought to myself,

'call MistahBenn'

...then I realized it was you posting.

 

[HolmenTree]

Nice job Mistahbenn........bull ropes, redirects and a sturdy truck are wonderful things aren't they.

 

[pantheraba]

Thanks for showing how that worked...fine work.

 

[mistahbenn]

relief and satisfaction! Thanks guys. Happy nothing got broke

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

What will become of that log? Mill? Firewood?

 

[mistahbenn]

DUMPED!!!

 

[Jed]

I know the feeling. Can't tell you how much amazing wood we pay to dump. Makes me wonder sometimes.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

Different markets, supply and demand, smooth and consistent material disposal without legwork (figuring who's gonna buy it). Just pay the bill. Move along.
