The best picture I ever saw of treework

[bonner1040]

Bixie is holding back on us!!!

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's one of the best, for sure!!!

There was a tree surgery and forestry supplier call A&F in Petworth England, sadly defunct now
In their shop they had a series of pics, it was where we had to go to kit ourselves out at college. Later I went to get all my gear. These pics never failed to impress me, and every student who went there.
It's only since joining The House that I realised the climber is a member.
Chapeau mr Beranak, Chapeau indeed!
Love the tin hat and jeans as well!

Ask him nicely, and he might even send you a signed one!

 

[Mick!]

I'll give it a go! It must have inspired thousands of students like me.

Part of the beauty of Bix' pic is it shows a lot of good fundamental techniques used.

Sure, understood, it's a great pic. No disrespect at all, Bix is a top pro showing great technique.
Took down a big(ish) poplar on Friday, limbs over the house roped down, bombing out big chunks etc,customer took loads of photos on their pad, an increasingly common event I'm sure you'll agree. They sent me a couple and it looked a bit mundane really. Point being, if we're discussing "the best picture I ever saw of tree work" I want pure awesomeness.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Here's the very first pic I ever posted... EPIC !!!

 

[Mick!]

Are you smoking?

Here's one of me, just to show willing, felt big at the time!

 

[rskybiz]

Love that one, can only imagine the feeling, fear, and sheer Awsome sense of accomplishment as the dust settled.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I quit smoking about ten years ago.

 

[Mick!]

Love it! I still miss smoking, if it didn't kill me, cost a small fortune, and make you unfit and smelly I'd start again tomorrow.
Circa 2000, jeans, husky 272, old style lowering rope, wrapped round the trunk, pulleys smulleys,

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Haha. New England climbing line, Elten boots, helmet with ear and eye protection and weaver harness.

Pictures of me from about 89 - 95 era would be jeans, cat boots, earmuffs, combat pants, willans harness and three strand climbing line. Good old daze

 

[Mick!]

Whadda they say these days? Pics or it didn't happen!

 

[Thor's Hammer]

I know. I need to dig some of the old pics out.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I never had a camera way back then.

 

[Bixler]

Thanks Bonner, I took that pic, it's was tough to dial in the lighting.

La Becasse, thanks for putting me right up there with ol' Jer, one handing the 090. I'm pretty sure that he has a cast on and was making that cut from 150 feet. All-time fav pic.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yep - he had a broken foot.

 

[Burnham]

Nothing will ever surpass Jer in that redwood.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nothing will ever surpass Jer in that redwood.

+1,000,000!

 

[woodworkingboy]

That photo should have gotten the Pulitzer prize.

 

[bonner1040]

+1,000,000!

That pic aint tree work, its called "just being a plain old legend." Seriously though, y'all are right, nothing compares to that pic of Jer.

 

[NHlocal]

Ayuh.

I wonder if he was thinkin' "just another day's work"..... ???

.....can't even imagine "work" like that.....

Someone posted a picture of a guy taking the top out of a big snow covered Cedar on Arbtalk. Was a great shot, I'll see if I can find a link

Check this one out

 

[gf beranek]

That's a great shot of that cedar. The way the snow blasts out in all directions just shows the release of energy.

Now that pic of me in Rockport will live on long after I'm gone. Oh, Charly Pottorff took the pic by the way. Darn near 30 yarn ago
