I did a Deadwood prune on this elm- pretty sprawling tree I used three TIPS to get around


Snapped this one of a fellow climber doing an easy beech dismantle

Cool Santa!

I constantly was mistaking them for the groundie and did a lot of double takes

The cracked pine is down safe and sound, and it went exactly as I planned. Basically pruned out working space in neighboring trees, lifted it with the GRCS, pulled it sideways to clear the building with the Maasdam rope puller and just broke bent the whole 90 foot tree sideways without a facecut since the core was so rotten and it was so sketchy. Unorthodox, but made sense in the situation and man it worked perfectly.

Even though it went well, my brain is fried from the stress of the project, as it felt pretty hairy at times. Especially when the whole tree was hanging on the rigging and fibers were tearing out of the ground as we were moving it away from the corner of the building. I'll share a few more photos of the process later when I get some my ground guy took.

Interesting job !

 

[Neill]

I'm curious why you didn't fall it looks like there isn't much to hit on the pictures.

It was on the edge of the neighbors newly planted lawn, and would have hit a new fence they were working on. Too dead and too much lean/ sweep to try and turn- also an old gazebo would have been the likely target if a felling attempt went wrong

Easy flopping today

Home is just out of screen on the left

Three of six trees felled, these leaning toward a work garage. Simple pulls with Maasdam rope puller.

Limb walk to do some branch end reduction on a white oak this morning


Got this one if a fellow climber doing some clearance pruning while i was in a neighboring tree. Same job

 

[Treemuel]

Contrasts from the last few days. The first pic, removing a hazard tree for the town before Wednesday's storm, which washed away the local pier (as seen in the second pic).

Wonder what Saturday will bring, with bigger tide than yesterday. Pretty impressive/depressing to watch. Neat old truck @Treemuel too.

Yeah, with the amount of erosion and washout already from this last one, tomorrow’s could be a real doozy. It is humbling to watch the raw power of nature.

Not my truck. Belongs to a guy I work with on occasion around here. Neat, but have to say I’m glad not be the one trying to keep it running, haha

 

[27RMT0N]

Storms here as well. Not my photos of the water, but here is a road on the neighboring island, which washed out and is now apparently impassable. Maybe people saw the videos of the waves going through the ferry boat and cars, thats been making the national rounds it seems.

I've been doing downed trees yesterday and today.

 

[27RMT0N]

It's 8 degrees out, EXTREMELY rare for here.

My battery blower wouldn't work at all, too cold. One case where gas is better.

Then again, guess it's all a matter of perspective . . . . . Saturday night will be a bit fresh in YEG . . . .

8f is -13c, but yah, I've got no interest in living in a place that gets so cold
