Forest Keepers Videos

He was going to be the push-her-over fella. But it wound up being a, "Look ma, one hand" operation. Would've pulled it over with the winch line (I had it in my hand, taking the video), but it was overkill for those tiny pines.

haha...he's got that Spiderman feet position just right.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hahaha - I think every climber's done that!

You gotta bow your legs like Spiderman so you can reach the hitch.

My favorite was actually the 120' crane inverted ascent. But we weren't going to post that one to YouTube. It was the start of the day on the first video we posted (the drone "overview").

Clear thinking there....

Guess ol' Murphy got you all straightened out about what to post and what not

Clear thinking there....

All the blood rushing to your head for sure helps in the clear thinking dept. I'm not afraid to post it to the 'House. It's just not for mass consumption, you know?

Swinging!

I got to do that on the peak of a two-story house... I bet I jumped a couple dozen times! It was a big, fun swing!

They've been rolling for 20+ years there on Cape Cod, so they are fully set up, equipment-wise. The video gives you a nice drone perspective of their wood lot (log pile, tub grinder & mulch, firewood) and shop. I think their crews were out for the day when the video was taken, so you don't get one of those great "fleet of equipment" views. But then again, that could just put you on the radar for theft! We're pretty little by comparison, but we're the new sprout so we'll get there someday!

Crackberry -- hackberry split yawning open in the breeze

Here's a fast motion video (30 seconds) from our recent hackberry takedown. Like Gerry Beranek, we find these "bad trees" downright freaky!

That tree looked possessed.
