Cutting a big stem off of this plains cottonwood for solar gains. Beautiful day, perfect weather and great clients!

Yes, lowa. I do like them, I had the grey/blue ones before and they lasted a really long time compared to other hiking boots I've tried. The soles a a bit stiff, I might get some insoles. Great boots though. You like yours?

I do like them alot. I haven't worn them that much yet but they seem like solid boots fo sho

spruce removals for a gardener

Here's the dead limb I removed this morning.


On Monday I removed this dead broken limb that had stayed alive long enough for the wound wood to encapsulate almost the entire mass of broken fibers. I first saw it hanging alive in 2016, and it died about six months ago.

Oh so many limbs...glad someone else is cleaning it up

Dammit! Love that grinder!

That’s a funny way to move a stump grinder around the site

It was nice to start the week with a seventy foot climb to get this dead limb. With the cool weather I didn't even break a sweat until I hauled the chainsaw up.


Next time I won't park so close to the work site.

Didn't hit your vehicle. You were plenty far away.

My first shot with the Big Shot hit the bottom of the limb I was aiming for, bounced down, and wrapped itself around a stub. There was no hope of undoing it seventy feet up, so I made a successful shot with the yellow spare line that's over the limb above the stub. The dead limb I was climbing after is on the lower right. Not very big, but it was close to the parking area.


It was a beautiful tree to climb...

but not much to show for the effort.

I think thats a real tree man badge…

Another Monday morning climb, more dead limbs.

Climbing directly over a fence was a new experience. I had a big tarp folded over it to protect my ropes from all the sharp stuff.

The flying stump grinder- not sure exactly how to land that thing without causing further damage

I’ve been following your work threads. Did you get the liability waiver and are you charging for the work? I’m trying to get some jobs but, I haven’t gotten serious about being a business. It seems the only ones I’ve have been offered are rotten Ash or some monstrous hollow tree. I would gladly do some deadwood. Craig

I got the liability waiver, but I've only needed to use it twice so far to get people to let me climb to remove dead limbs. I tell people I don't charge for tree work because I don't want the hassle of having a business license, keeping records, and paying taxes. Most people just say thanks, and that's fine with me. About one in five will give me a little cash or a gift card, and that's fine, too.

I enjoy being that old guy who likes to climb trees and remove dead limbs for free. That's probably as close to being one-of-a-kind as you can get.
