    PNW laminated rot, overgrowth, hoarding, demo, GTG?

    I have a 346XP! I usually run it with an 18" bar but maybe I'll try sizing it up. Those saws rip so hard.

    Shagbark Hickory preservation

    Re reading my post I should have worded it along the lines that you did... Those roots were likely non existent above ground, previous to this project. Either the tree's root flare was already buried pre project, or perhaps they are incredibly vigorous adventitious roots that sprang up after the...

    Shagbark Hickory preservation

    It's interesting to see those 1"-2" dia roots in that photo. Given their size, I'd imagine that they were there at a similar size before the backfill. Does anyone think those are new, post backfill adventitious roots?

    Rigging Point Failure

    I'm glad this went as well as it did and thanks for sharing.

    When things go super smoothly and when they don't

    This is so succinctly put, well done. I'll always entertain rescuing cats, if I'm able, especially if I can safely climb the tree. I don't see it as putting myself in danger in doing so, I'm a tree climber and I can safely climb trees that are sound enough to hold my weight. I do these rescues...

    Texting a business card

    Totally! "We have this huge pine tree that needs to come down!" Usually a 20' tall blue spruce or something silly easy like that.

    Wildfires

    We had a big fire close to town last week, crazy to see so close. I just ordered and received two Indian SmokeChaser pumps to have with the trucks, in addition to more traditional fire extinguishers. AQI is kinda crappy here, but not nearly as bad as some places. It's a tinderbox everywhere in...

    Texting a business card

    I've been asked if I have a "cherry picker" (bucket truck, aerial lift) and when I answer in the negative, I've often heard something like - " well, this tree needs one so we'll have to call someone else" assuming that upper canopy access can only be granted via a lift. If I'm quick enough I can...

    Bucket Truck Boom Failure

    Of course we can never count on the news getting the minutiae of our job right, so some things stood out. What was that cable choked around the tree for? Some kind of redneck rigging? I'm assuming the cable pictured in the tree had nothing to do with the incident. What kind of work do two...

    Social media comments on your business posts

    "most CAs just do paperwork" interesting take and I wonder where you get this statistic from because it seems like a jaded generalization. I've worked in a few large metro areas as a production climber, and most CAs I knew were also production climbers. Maybe I'm also generalizing... Of course...

    Social media comments on your business posts

    I'd almost bet that the naysayer was/is a CA and that's why they're trying to bust your nuggets. Not to derail, but the bar to get the CA from the ISA has been lowered to the point where I have to wonder why more good "tree guys" don't just get it anyway.

    Kalimba rope

    Am I missing something? What is the context or complaint? Everyone commenting seems to know... I feel left out.
