    Storm Damage Work

    I try to get around in the winter to get away from the monotony of tree work here. Usually squirrel away a couple hawaii contracts and work in the valley doing big deciduous pruning jobs and climbing big firs. Hopefully in the next year or so, I can make it to the east coast. Have always wanted...

    unnecessary removal soap box

    That is the most frustrating part of the job for me. People are already set on how "dangerous" the tree is, it has too many leaves, it is too tall, it's messy, etc,etc. I always try keep in mind that public education on the value of trees is critical, but it can be so angering at times... People...

    Stein RC2000 FLoating LD

    I just bought the rc-2000 for my personal business. Gave it a solid beating last week and it's great. Blows away a p-o-w in my opinion. Barrel is bigger and pinch points eliminated. Certainly worth the money for a basic lowering device.

    what is your life worth ? $$$

    well said Huffman! You're green josh, prove your worth before you demand more money. Obviously, every life is priceless, but look at industry pay scale if you want answers about your 'worth'.

    Felling a dead elm

    Smooth. Only advice would be to be looking up more as it goes over and as you trip the strap... Especially with a dead tree.

    Big wood

    I think nick has it right... Brush out and then crane. probably 7-800 for 4hr crane minimum. Should be able to get it done in a long day and still make profit.

    Going to buy a Subaru...which one? Or another???

    Haha! I don't know Levi, might be a tie. Boulder reminds me a lot of Bend... I caught A LOT of sh!t from my brother for being a yuppie when I bought mine in this town!

    Going to buy a Subaru...which one? Or another???

    I live in the subaru capitol of the world. I currently have a 2003 forester. 5spd manual, 2.5l. Love it. Really the biggest issue is the head gaskets. Do some research on model years w/ and w/o problems. Other than that, subies are bombproof. I wouldn't be without a stick shift, more fun to...

    40'+ telescopic poles

    Re: 40\'+ telescopic poles Growing up in hawaii, we used to use a 40' bamboo pole for a mango picker. It took both my brother and I to get that thing airborne. One of us to hold and the other at the end of the picker basket to throw it up it and get momentum. It takes some serious skill to...
