My first tree removal vid.

No issue of mine, but others here and there will razz/roast you over it.

As long as you know what you're risking.

Okay, have you ever tried finding a nice big sturdy crotch in your tree over an open LZ away from the house to lower stuff over the house from?

Generally that works better than lowering stuff onto or just next to the home.

That was a nice fine tree with lots of good structure well away from the house that I would have lowered from.

So my question is why were your lowering points so close to the house?

jomoco

Yes, I have.

If we are picking with a GRCS, we find a high/strong central point to make all our pics from if possible. We utilize the vertical strength of the central crotch instead of putting side pull on a limb crotch.

One of the things I really enjoy about the house is that these bro's really care about you and your safety

I get what people are saying about free climbing and all but in oak loaded with branches, its nearly impossible to fall out of. I set lines in a lot of my trees but not all and seldom on a removal. I prefer to take my saw with me rather than having put on a line once I get to my TIP.

Good work. Two hours and out, you can't beat that. Every job should be that way, assuming it paid well.

As for the GRCS Butch, they were tip tying and lifting branches to vertical. You can't do that with a porty. I assume Nails could have done that tree fine without a GRCS but its a time to practice what it can do for you and to get your groundie used to the device as well.

That's alright, it's what freedom is all about.

Yep OM, that's how it was, exactly.

So, pulleys (along with butt-heavy hitching) weren't allowed? :what:

Yeah, I get it MB, I'm just not asking for approval. I made the call.

Just be aware that others are watching, perhaps newbies. What they see you do is what they presume to be correct/the right way and, hopefully, they will learn from watching you. You MUST set a standard.

It's all good.

I'm happy to be here with my brothers talking this shit.

Not quite, my bud is a white redneck and not a member of the NWA.

That sounds like fun. Look me up it would be nice to meat a treehouse.
