Yes. That larger one, I would bet, is pushing 300 years

Looks good. Nice work :^)
The lack of trees out there is striking. Years ago, I was talking to a guy from CO, and he said he was having a hard time acclimating to the trees out here. Said he couldn't see anywhere. I said "WTF, you don't have trees?!". He said they did, but it was "different". I didn't really understand it, and let it go, but I think ^^^that was what he meant.

Those hills once had many large oaks. During the gold rush days, most were cut for timbers and fire wood for mines, stamp mills and steam power. Now mostly younger save one here or there that kept shade for something. Tons of the young ones and some larger have died due to drought. Millions
Same around here. In many ways it is a green jungle in suburbia.
One friend said it she felt like she was driving thu green tunnels.
I was doing a crane job this summer in a tree so thick with vines, I could only see 12" in front of my face. It was so bad I actually choked a leader and when I descended to make the cut I realized what I choked was totally different than what I was about to cut.
Green jungle!

No real work pics, but the weird ladies next door to the job made sure to let me know that they were burning sage for my protection and safety. Kinda freaked me out, I felt safer before they started talking.

Jed, I remember you talking about how you can recognize who is cutting based on their throttle use. Heard those blips in the video and recognized you before the camera panned up
Stephen, you do beautiful prunes on those beautiful oaks. Always a treat to see

I told her I'd buy her, her own ms362 (full wrap with a light bar and good dogs).
Does that count?
Joking and serious.
She lived a life without enough kindling. The woodshed now has a kindling section.

Both actions speak to real commitment, in my world view . Hopefully she sees things similarly, Sean

This was in this week's local paper. Inspirational when you stop and think about it, 81 years old and still doing tree work!

It is inspirational, except they say he's 'trimming' that tree. With a Stihl MS460. And a big ol' V notch.

Good article, Stikine.
There's a guy around here, he's 91 and still doing treework with his 70' bucket. I used him for my bucket work 30 years ago when he was about 60. As a friend of his said, "he hasn't aged in 30 years".
If you met him you'd probably say he's 70 yo.
It's pretty amazing since we all know folks in their 90's who can barely pick up a spoon much less use a saw on a tree.
