    Beaver damage, What to do?

    You can't relocate beaver to any area that already isn't over populated by them. It's like relocating raccoons, you just pass the problem onto someone else. You can shoot them or use killing traps to get rid of them, depending on the area. The price of fur is way down and trappers won't trap...

    grappling hook

    The ideal location is on the branch next to the trunk. Keep the swing steady and fluid without jerking or stopping.

    grappling hook

    There's not much to it. Throw the grapple and swing into the new location. Pull your climb line out of the first tree, safety in and go to work in the second tree.

    [ QUOTE ] Even if a tree was on your house? [/ QUOTE ] Why cause more damage? Would you stand on his car to reach a branch? I wouldn't do it unless I absolutely had to, I would let the homeowner know before I did it and ask if he wanted to protect the area. Sidewalks are for walking...

    grappling hook

    Rather than pull yourself over try swinging into the new location by releasing your hitch slowly as if descending. You will lose a little height but the transition will be quicker and smoother. The hitch on the 11mm stays stationary unless you really need to adjust your position.

    Man falls forty feet in crane job

    I use short ropes all the time once I gain access but always use a stopper. I don't like the chance of having a large branch get caught in the tail of a longer rope. My short ropes are about twenty feet long.

    Just a litte Pine

    Having your foot obscured by that limb and cutting so close to it looks a little risky.

    Urban Tree Falling

    Depends on your purpose. For throwing a tree off to one side it would be off center. What are you calling a block cut, the gap?

    Arborist fatality - Peterborough, Ontario, Canada

    A dead tree with back lean can cause problems. They don't have the elasticity in the hinge wood to just pull over. You can cut them and set up the hinge and they just sit there so you need to cut and pull at the same time. The problem with two people trying to accomplish the same task at the...
