Good on ya mate!

 

[PCTREE]

Ugly one fo sure

@cory
I had a good tie in behind me on the live section of the codom. It wasn’t ideal but made it doable. Break away lanyard is case the dead side broke loose under rigging loads.

How did you rig on that? As in friction above or below? When it gets sketchy, unlike to use the porty up top to reduce rigging forces.

@treesmith
Redirected to the live stem with a decent rope angle. Also control it enough to hit the drop zone and let it run to the ground. Rigged the wood off the live spar then.

 

[cory]

these climbers dont GAF about safety or much of anything else except for meat

 

[lxskllr]

Sloppy trim work too.

 

[treebilly]

Where’s Cameron? A few weeks shy of a year since his first climb. Using my rope runner for the first time. Dead wood is almost self chipping from where he’s at

 

[lxskllr]

Look like he's doing good for a year in, no?

 

[gf beranek]

out on a limb

 

[SkwerI]

Did he climb from tree to tree? I remember one job 25 years ago when I climbed 5 separate oaks all around a house without ever touching the ground.

 

[Jed]

Uhhh... yeah, I’d say. Cool pic Rich.

Corey: INSANE vid. Just showed that to my nature loving eight year old Agnes. Man she flipped.

Did a 150’ Cottonwood with Jake, Saturday, and then did a 140’ today with my three man (currently) crew today. Carlos ran ground patrol while Jordan caught this vid from his tree.

Fine looking stump as usual Jed. What kind of ivy is that?

 

[cory]

Jed, that first stump pic is just plain purty.

Which vid, cutting the big dead ash into the woods? Believe it or not, it basically didn't break one twig in the woods, there was a natural hole for it

 

[Jed]

Oh, no, the Lion one. My littlest daughter LOVES that stuff. Yeah the Ash one impressed me to no end, but I wasn’t able to comment—we got internet issues man.

John: We pretty much only have English Ivy man, but I think that all yer seeing is Cottonwood leaves. Wasn’t too much Ivy in that woods.
Here’s some mondo pines we did last week Scotts and White respectively.

 

[cory]

Yeah the gangsta lion in the tree was rad for sure.

Btw, do you ever make an ugly stump? Serious Q!

So are ya doing a lil weekend sidework with Jake?

Curious what Eastside is doing about their crane- repair or replace?

Jed, you guys would definitely benefit from a decent jack now and then based on all those wedges. Good on you though and keep those nice pics coming! Cheers!

I thought of simply changing the hinge placement.
Full gap face is easy.

I picked up a 2 ton hydraulic jack at a garage sale for $2. I'll try it.
My 20ton is heavy to dig out.
Always jack with wedges, at least always with weak (not tree) jacks.

 

[stig]

That hinge is a thing of beauty.
I find it hard to wrap my mind around the fact, that it was cut by an arborist.

 

[gf beranek]

That's the nice thing about a tree sitting on wedges. Barring any other issues, you generally have all the time in the world to square up your cuts. and by it make nice stumps.

Jed makes nice stumps.

I train in a targeted drop in a strong headwind -

 

[Maximalist]

A little bit about equipment -

 

[Maximalist]

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to know your thoughts on this. Questions, suggestions, recommendations, threats?)

[pantheraba]

I like the open-mouth saw holder. I will probably get one like that.

The pants trick over the boot is good. I have done that, too. And sometimes have worn gaiters.

The orthotics, I assume, help with spur pressure using that type boot. If I spur climb I have some heavy duty combat boots for stiff foot support.

 

[SeanKroll]

Ask again please.

I don't understand Russian.
