If it is in the paper, it must be true.

Jay I don't get it. What is that stuff on the spar? There was no fuzzy little clusters of young branches on that tree either. Long limbs only. I half guess if some crap shook out of the top and was dropping down past me? I really doubt that. I guess Im reaching deep to figure out what that is........

 

[Tucker943]

Got it!!!!!!!!!!!! look closely. As the top went over, one of the lowest limbs touched the spar and got bent for a moment.

 

[rumination]

What kind of tree was that, Jon?

Ficus religiosa.

Nice vid Jon!

 

[brendonv]

Cool Jon!


You bought a Kanga?

 

[lumberjack]

Yep, decided he'd rather skip a 140 and get a 340 or 540 later. : ))

 

[treesandsurf]

Yeah I couldn't pass up the deal on the Kanga, wanted to get the 140 but now I'm actually glad I didn't as Carl said hoping to step up to at least a 340 sometime later this year. Here's another vid from this week; we've been on this tree for about 5.5 days and got it down to the trunk. We've been chipping and moving logs for days!

It's definitely the week for leaners! Went and looked at this one this morning. Two adjacent trees....water oak and red oak.....growing on a ditch bank, uprooted during the winds the other night. Just laid over on the roof of a shed. I'm going in the morning to get it all down. Planning to set a line in the water oak (left, more upright one) to use while climbing/rigging out the red oak. Once it's down, the water oak has room to flop past the end of the shed.

Man, you get all the fun trees!


Not!

 

[treesandsurf]

I'd be moving my boat outta there!

[treesmith]

Actually the pic is misleading. The tree wouldn't touch the bass boat, as it's in the next bay of the shed. The riding mower and cute little yellow trailer are in its path, but after a thorough inspection, I felt it would hold til the morning. A bit cold and windy this AM for me to be swinging from one partially uprooted tree whilst working another out over a building.

 

[MasterBlaster]

In my old age, I generally pass on trees like that. Be safe and good luck!!!

 

[Tucker943]

I love those scenarios. I hate them, but I get a sick thrill out of them too. Its a curse. Be safe bro. Its just a tree.

 

[Husabud]

Bring it! I love those too. Be safe.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Guess we all get some fun from time to time.

 

[erikthered]

[MasterBlaster]

Yea, my Russian is pretty bad... I don't get it either.

That's a big mess to clean up!

from last week. yes, i know im not wearing my helmet. i thought i forgot it, but it turned out that it was in my rope bag the whole time. you cant see it but we were using the grcs to lift the wood off the stem, as well as for tensioning the speedline for the brush.

I say that if you integrate the drawstring to the bottom of pants then your socks will be clean and dry ...
