    No block no prob

    Posted this photo in another thread, but same concept. I work as a contract climber in some ghetto as fuck neighbourhoods in Toronto, and had my rigging bag stolen off a job site a day before one of my own removals. Dismantled this whole sugar between two homes and above a house drop from the...

    Not my favourite place to be, practically horizontal to my TIP, directly above transmission. Had to zip line the canopy of this badly leaning Siberian elm over the lines and back into the front yard. Pucker factor high.

    Craning a massive black walnut log onto the roll off. Trailer is 24 feet long for scale. One of the Giants from my wind farm contract that I managed to save because it was on private property, and the home owner didn't want it. Log was about 6,000lbs if I remember.

    Incredible damage!!!

    Looks like the roots on that second tree were severely compromised. That straight line just screams of mechanical damage. Maybe from landscaping or trenching for utilities.

    Took this one while on a 3 month consulting contract for Enercon, a major player in the wind farm game. I saw too many beautiful giants come down, was a lucrative but ultimately depressing contract.

    Selfie, and a photo shortly after taken from a board room of people in an office who were thoroughly entertained by my vanity.

    Stubs are my trademark, I tell everyone else to trim them but I am guilty of leaving them on all the damn time. Sometimes to stand on, sometimes to attach a block or use for natural crotch. I think in this case they were left up as natural crotch because my block and sling got stolen off a job...

    split tree Question

    I'm going to back slowly out of this thread, clearly I struck a nerve with you. Good luck to the OP regardless of their decision!

    split tree Question

    Who said anything about me favoring Native trees? Or getting rid of everything else? Stay on the mark please. After venting my useless frustration about the species I simply suggested considering alternatives for landscape, of which there are countless.

    split tree Question

    Pulling out seedlings every year isn't everyone's idea of a "good time".
