    Bored backcuts/ anti-barberchair/ anti-fiber pull Thread

    Because I haven't been in a tree in a couple yrs ;). When I was doing a little climbing it was primarily to reduce canopy width or raise a couple branches to clear a target, then fall them. I do need a good climber that I can contract some work to in the GR Michigan area, I pass up quite a bit...

    Yesterday, maasdam pulling against the back lean, and a side line for the with the wyeth Scott power puller. Right in the hole. I wasn't going to use a pull line, but since I was pulling directly against the lean I figured it would be prudent, and that proved to be true since my wedge that was...

    Oh yes, the farmers bore cut aka the sloping bore cut lol. I've practiced them on the ground, never really needed to use one when climbing, which is a good thing. Nice job getting those all topped out. Was there a reason you couldn't have dropped that tree right into the field.

    I think I'm gonna order one of these. My rope is getting rough, slips in a couple spots. The good thing is I have other options normally, but these can give that small added advantage that reduces risk when the other options would take more time or cause more damage to surroundings.

    Just watched the video, nice job. I don't think I'd be too concerned about that limb in there, unless the drop was really tight. Was just noticing how bad my MIL's looks. We've removed a few branches over the yrs, but she hasn't wanted to remove it yet. I'm afraid it will have to loose a large...

    Got the cherries all down at the campground. Next will probably be a bunch more red oak around a barn that was just completely redone on the exterior, couldn't have done the tree work first lol. There are also a couple smaller ones over the house. Most everything there is hard leaning over the...

    Also did this cherry, it's a bit larger. Had quite a bit of side lean away from the spot I took the first two pictures, so I set a line in it to support it(side line). I also used The lower portion of the first stem for the hinge as it seemed they had grown together.

    Here's an easy hard maple we did last week, nice when there's no targets. Pretty sure this one wasn't 80" lol.

    Nice job. When I first read it I saw 80", I was thinking, I must be measuring them wrong .

    Quick update, it's only an issue on my laptop. Any thoughts, settings I could change?
