    Coronet Pruning and other Wildlife Habitat Incorporation

    Common swift- European swift. My local birder friends don’t like them because they take over local habitats, just like this silver maple stump, from the native birds.. Might be common to our area and not yours. That Is A Cute Bird

    Coronet Pruning and other Wildlife Habitat Incorporation

    Leaving snags is routine in this area across different companies, easy to sell and even often requested, probably have left hundreds.. I’ve only done the coronet cut a couple times though. I think it’s a neat hat trick but wildlife is incredibly adept at making their own houses. I left a...

    Re-pollarding old beeches at a graveyard

    A thousand snap cuts!! That’s an impressive display of the skill, but why not rig some pieces?

    When do you block a customer's number?

    I agree! ‘Sounds like something I’d need to assess in person. I’d be able to come out for a minimum charge of $, more if I need to do xyz.’

    Seeking safe method re crane TIP

    What is your hitch setup? Using a rope runner sped up crane work for me, but a while ago I used the Hitch Hiker 2 on the ball and that was about the only time I loved that device. Perfect for cranes. You can have the ball raise up so you’re a few feet in the air, then descend on your system...

    When do you block a customer's number?

    Give yourself a price tag for consulting that either makes you happy, or makes him not have you out. Your knowledge and advice has monetary value!

    Seeking safe method re crane TIP

    Respectfully, making a work flow / equipment adjustment predicated on the worry that an arborist will not be able to accurately tie a life load knot is a troubling precedent. Ye of little faith? I am sure you are very very qualified to tie the right knot, every time, and if there’s a question of...

    Liberalism ruins everything it touches.

    This political infighting between colleagues who care for trees, a key component of wildfires, is really depressing. We should be working together to improve management practices and make this world more habitable for all, not arguing over some dumb shit a politician said.

    Gas is $2.70 a gallon today- what am I supposed to be mad about again?

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    I’ve been wondering when the tide will shift with goods made locally versus overseas, I am starting to see cheap plastic crap at CVS cost the same or more than artisan goods sold at local craft fairs and farmers markets. Hopefully folks will put 2 and 2 together and start buying their goods...

    Get you some

    It was out of stock so I have just been rocking the 535. The company I work for bought a new 542, plus a new mini, truck, dump trailer, 500i, etc…

    Get you some

    I’ve been really frugal. Since the summer I spent $20 on parts for my 261 but that’s about it. The benefits of being w2 employee again.

    Fascism, American-Style

    Also, beware hearing something you want to believe. Especially these days. Anything can be spun to fit whatever narrative you want to hear. Recognize your own personal biases and keep looking for real, tangible information.

    CEO murder... somethings not right

    I’m not going to say what I really think about all this :) One conspiracy I will support Daniel is that the government keeps tabs of our online conversations. Not to mention this forum is semi public.

    CEO murder... somethings not right

    You’re complaining that folks won’t sacrifice a days wage when they’re living paycheck to paycheck, potentially risking losing their job and being homeless in a heartbeat? People are just trying to survive.

    Wood pellet cat litter

    We love feline pine. It’s the pellet kind. But our cats are indoor outdoor and only use it for pee. God only knows where they poop. When it’s getting a bit mushy I scatter it all in the meadow.

    Yellow-bellied SapSuckers

    Why won’t burlap work in this case? People still like zelkovas? Carpinus is such a better option for a similar size and habit (assuming you’re posting from Mt Airy NC)

    When You Don't Have the Right Gear...

    Sticht hitch if it requires SRT, but preference for DRT VT or Blakes hitch. Especially if it’s a rec climb / training climb, DRT can be a little more beginner friendly, as you also can skip the ascenders.
