Pulling with a low backcut for the win!

We went to the trouble to set up two winches (it was gusty) and the tree went without pulling. 😆

We took off the back what we could reach with the pole saw from the roof.

 

[davidwyby]

Wide open gapped face, thought it might hold to the ground, but no.

Finished up a day and a half job with John. We trimmed and deadwooded 4 trees over a house and deck. 2 hickory, 1 poplar, and 1 black oak. Hickory leaned over the home pretty far and got end weight reductions at its leader tips and a thinning. We used a speed line for the 1st time and it was awesome. The oak required 2 TIPs to support me and allow easy movement out onto the 40’ dead limb. All went well except for John’s lost glasses.
Not easy to work in a naturally wooded environment. You can’t see anything and everything is in the way.

What's going on with the lizard harness? The cord looks like it disappears behind a piece of skin. Shedding?

She’s shedding. I didn’t mean to put the lizard and weight training schedule on there. Sometimes the phone selects too many pictures.

 

[lxskllr]

Still a cool picture!

 

[Maximalist]

Coffee break. Short espresso.

 

[lxskllr]

Look at Andrey there all suave and sophisticated. Us plebes have to get our coffee out of a thermos sitting on the ground :^D

Back leaking Pine over power cables. I climbed and rigged down the limbs over the cables to reduce back weight. Then left rigging high for the winch line. 360 assistant to be sure.

Still in the Roadside clearance job.

Felled a few trees the last couple of days.

Timber winched up for the grab lorry.

I'd be afraid of cracking some glass running brush across it like that last vid.
You obviously have some patience with hatchet work.

 

[Burnham]

Heck, I'd be afraid of breaking MANY things, should I need to do treework where Max does.

 

[Maximalist]

I haven't been afraid of trees for a long time. Trees are simple and predictable. I'm more afraid of people!

 

[Burnham]

Oh, I'm not afraid of the trees either. It is the many, many targets within strike distances that I see you manage in most of your videos that give me pause.

 

[flushcut]

I look at that job and think tip tie and hang those skinny poles whole.

 

[cory]

#skinnywood!

I’m so tired of storm work. I miss my scheduled work.

Are you billing appropriately? The last insurance job I did, we pulled out around 3AM, I got in bed at 4, and was on a field trip at 8.

I wouldn’t want to do that every week, but the juice was worth the squeeze.

 

[Bodean]

Dump it.

 

[flushcut]

Dump it.

New concrete parking lot and not enough ground.
