    OK. So what fuels your saws,skidder? Pickup trucks etc. Not just about diesel and gas anymore. You running battery tools? Cell phones? Easy to stand back and point fingers. Our household lives pretty close to the land. We grow,gather hunt whenever possible. We burn wood to heat our house and...

    @Basswood I totally get that point of view on downstream effects. I think that we all are adult enough to recognize the NIMBY effects as well. Extract all we can from 3rd world countries with little to no regard for the planet and those peoples health, or do it on our own soil where...

    Not saying I disagree with anything in that long dissertation, but are you sure he has strip mined and drilled our national parks? I know garbage cans are overflowing and unhoused people are camping there possibly forever, but can I get the strip mine/drill source?

Both of mine have hi flo air filters and woods ported exhaust. They rip. Run 24 inch lite bars I think the balance is...

    Possibly the biggest English Walnut tree ever

    The most vigorous and easily grafted wood is at the tips, (at least in my apple/pear world) do they use cleft grafts on nut trees? If so I would assume some "nut" got to the the highest working spot and made the graft on the smallest wood they could?

    anyone start a tree service in foreign country ?

    I "worked" for an arb in Spain in 08'. He was a kiwi who set up outside Barcelona after doing a long stint in the uk. It took him 10 yrs to overcome the language and cultural nuances of Spanish tree torture to build a biz that valued trees and did good pruning. He struggled finding help that...

    The difference between logging and Suburban Tree Work

    @southsoundtree yes I have pulled pretty good size east coast timber with cables and skidders and big ropes and forwarders. I would never gut the hinge. one post failing puts a spin on the tree. It's way to sketchy for me. Most of Daniel's vids are of spars that he has gutted the hinge and...
