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

    It would have increased the work load in the sun. Chipping in the shade is mucho more better. I would have dropped it right at the tray of my big chipper ( all steel!) and been into machine-feeding. The new chipper is way less durable. I needed a bit more space from this chipper tray. I...

    Anyone using a counter-pressure throw line (black ziptie) to position a Running bowline (blue/white) on a little stub when there is no suitable fork?

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    What a struggle. Forget about the backlog getting too big. People can wait or go elsewhere. Managing people and a biz is not fun unless the people pretty self- manage fully. I was just trying a CA for size. Not a match. Not safe. Stressful and in-fun, plus hazard trees I was just...

    Finished one section of 8 hazard trees in the HOA greenbelt. More declining alders to go, including one with ganoderma. Tomorrow I'll prep to either V-hang or triangulate over (3) large, several years dead, hard-leaning alders smongst taller firs and a very tall alder. Slow-tapering second-...

    Before the Buzz dies, the leaders should shit can the buffoon who drives people away. Who wants to play in the pool with diarhhea? Not me. Long ago, I'd have thrown the guy overboard who keeps shooting holes in the party boat were all on. When Daniel used to try to bully me, he actually...

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    Start talking to regional/ national companies. Bartlett just bought a tree care company in Oly (with monster chipper who pushed to expand their market share as arborists removing big trees (irony)).

    92⁰ Found ganoderma on an alder that means more work for me. Toe in pic for scale. One leader is mostly dead. Micro-x around the yard, headed to the sawmill.

    Tie-In-Point Backup?

    A lot of bounce testing and watching at the same time can help. I'm a big base-tie fan with backup branches.

    basic noob trailer plug question

    Agreed. One truck had a 6, 2 trucks have a 7. I need to get a new 7 to replace the 6, and add a light. 6-to-7 dangles.

    basic noob trailer plug question

    The 7th allows a utility light, I believe. Backing up at night with an LED floodlight!

    Fuck that troll. Anyone want him here? @Tom Dunlap for someone who so despises the BS-spewing, narcissistic, megalomaniacal, trolling, shit- stirring tendencies of the Rump, I'm surprised you let this wanna be bully nutjob keep diarhhea-ing in our pool party. He's so typically FB treeguy...

    Olympia, WA, various needs.

    P.S. Looking for people with good working memory. Fixed the duplicate/ missing picture situation in the above post. In more expensive Portland, I'm seeing ads for lead climber for $40/ hour. I'll pay a serious assistant climber/all-arounder or a real deal power groundworker $40/hour.

    Daniel, fuck off. You are an unwelcome piece of shit. Again, to be clear, nobody wants you here, fuck off. Get out of the suburbs and bucket!!! You're always tracking dog shit into a nice party. Enough of you being a keyboard warrior little bitch.

    Fruit tree holding on by a thread, client wants to get another year out of it. Thoughts?

    Just 1 random pre-training, 2 post-tiedown pics...1 of the 2 pears inside deer fencing.

    The risk versus reward was unknowable. I found this easier than trucker straps. 2 separate chains would be better.

    Here was my spar split mitigation. We can hear/ I can feel the stem splitting as I cut... in this case only a bit... nothing like "Poppin' Maple Dave's" bigleaf maple tree (what is shown in Gord's picture). P.S. Gord's Magic Cut was down in TB back in the day. This guy is the real deal B.C...

    If a dream boss is super serious about safety and risk- management, clear communication all day, every day with the goal of "boring, lazy treework" where we are not surprised by foreseeable things and everything goes to a safe, well- communicated plan, who will not tolerate unsafe behavior or...
