    Am I the only one who gets this scared?

Those babies can swing 8-12 feet off center pretty easily. I was scared all the time, but fortunately if you're good with a cane knife you...

    Bye Bye FL

    Another crappy footlocker here bummed to see it go. I really appreciate the pure athleticism of it. Now that I've finally broken 30 seconds, I'm hungry to improve.

    Transplanting a crooked Maple?

    You could stake it, but id bet dollars to donuts if you plant it so it leans away from the light, it will curve back and straighten itself in a a growing season or two. Probably one. Super flexy those BLMs

    Solo Tree Work

    I love working by myself. Pick and choose the jobs, charge well, do a bang up job. I like the silence, and i greatly prefer to be both responible for, and accountable to, myself. Definitely not going to make a million bucks by myself, but that's also not why im doing this work. Trying to get...
