Max, rings or pulley up top?

 

[Maximalist]

With rings and a pulley, any layman can do this. I love old school and andrenalin) It would be possible to make this pine tree in this way, but then who would shoot the video -

Smooth roping!

 

[Maximalist]

@Maximalist the top drop made me nervous. I recently saw a vid on IG where the top took the next section of the tree to the fork and the climber with it.

I would watch this video with great interest. Is it possible?

By the way, here, at the Russian forum, there were more questions about the metal detector, and not a single question about work)

 

[cory]

Interesting.

How does the Russian forum contrast and compare to the TreeHouse?

 

[lxskllr]

I thought the metal detector was a great idea. Anyone else here do that for removals? A lot of people do it for milling purposes. I just use my saw chain as a metal detector :^P

 

[cory]

I don't use it but would if I had one. I thought it was interesting that Max chipped away the basal bark before he climbed instead of after climbing

I think overall it's no different.

Thus, I conduct an examination of the root neck for the presence of rot.

What is the name of it?

 

[Maximalist]

We have several of them - ,,Russian arborists", "Promalpforum", etc.

The conservation guys cut a diseased American Elm at the MIL's this winter and left a higher stump in the snow so I went and ALAP'ed it this morning. It wasn't perfect but she was more than happy at the potential for a little end table project. Don't mind the baldness, my wig is at the cleaners.

Lotta pedestrians near that fall zone!

3 removals on this property in the near future but just some crown raising on this ash today. I actually left my ladder at home and did some rope assisted tree climbing. Throwbag performance was shaky at the start.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Practice practice

You mean targets of opportunity.

Today's task. I forgot the after picture but you get the idea. We'll need a couple more days to get the blowdowns beyond these.

Always amazed at how much you get to fit in those five pound bags Max

I wasn’t so sure where to put this but if you have mats you need one and they are handy. Handy hook

These are the 3 foot hooks I used to hold back a mat to a fence. I keep a four footer in the back of the 3/4 ton for pulling stuff to the tail gate. They easily save 50% of the effort in moving mats. A simple tool but worth its weight in gold.
