    trees and spirits and stuff

    If you look for evidence you will likely find it. But that doesn't make it real. There are real spirits and some of them would love nothing better than to trick you into believing weird stuff that hampers and eventually ruins your life. Others will trick you and then make your life better, so...

    Drone use

    In what ways has the drone been useful for you in tree work? How practical is it as a pre-inspection tool? And would you recommend the DJI mini 3 now?
