    Tree worker beat by crowd

    Not heavily stressed on review. He's warming up for a dash through traffic. Just didn't look close enough or in the right direction. I remember dumb mistakes like that when I was a kid, still happens but hopefully not the same mistake twice.

    Tree worker beat by crowd

    I wonder mainly about the child that got hit. What kind of home and parents does he have. What was he thinking when he ran in front of the truck. Why did his body language look heavily stressed prior to getting hit. Was it a mistake or a suicide attempt.

    Mechanical double crotch

    I've almost always got a 100 foot tree or three in a good position for rigging or at least a climbing tie in. When chunking down a conifer off some separate double ties you can kick out and drop your 10 feet to your next cut. None of that down spurring. Good for positioning and cutting on the...

    Tree worker beat by crowd

    This conversation won't go anywhere good quick with someone that quotes Louis L'Amour. In jail that's code for hey white brother from another mother.

    Birch Chaga

    It grows on lots of species other than birch even. The farther north the more potent I believe or our Betula papyrifera makes the best medicine.

    Mechanical double crotch

    Just like that. Be nice to have some separation of the hitches I would think one could tend the other.

    Mechanical double crotch

    I imagine ya run what cha brung but does anyone double crotch with two mechanicals or a mix. I'm wondering if two unicenders, zigzags or even wrenches would get tangled? That lead me to a new device idea. Half load would work smooth. The Zig Zag Double Wide. Just doin' it for the likes. Gotta...

    Cutting an unstable tree

    Kind of obvious but any wood/root that's dead will rot and depending on soil conditions it could become unstable in as little as three years. Wood rots quicker in the ground. That's primary structure all the little white roots loose their grip sooner. With live trees you can take the root...

    Cutting an unstable tree

    Not sure about the detail requested in the original question, two single lines base tied throw line installed is the quick way. If you've never done it, do it lots.

    New spin on the barrel stove

    I picked up one of those diaphramic openings at the dump and never knew what to use it for. Just thought it was nice and shiny. Not sure this is what I'll do with it exactly.

    Tree worker beat by crowd

    Looks like the kid ran into the truck on purpose or one of his "buddies" yelled go. I've heard stories of hitting and running or being beat to death in Africa, would of been worth it in this situation. Sadly this too was made in Detroit. When American TV first invaded Canada we got four Detroit...

    Confidence vs. over confidence.

    I gotta reel in my over confidence. The last two solo removals I left the glass table under the base. The first one was froze in place and I guess I liked it and left the table there for a challenge on another one. Hard to sell better removal work without something like that. Both being...

    Shouldn't be news but it is.

    Shouldn\'t be news but it is. http://www.motherearthnews.com/nature-an...x#axzz2xGSUMjvd I don't know anything about the organization asking for donations. Could be a scam with Reynaldo as it's cute Panda. I just want to go fishing with the boy and help Reynaldo plant some trees.

    working with, your boss's perspectives

    Re: working with, your boss\'s perspectives My take from Guy is that he wants to stimulate a discussion and goes to the extreme to promote putting some extra thought into tree care techniques. I try to keep the environmental and financial(same thing) costs of that care responsible for a...

    Felling compilation video.

    Why?

    Pays cheques come and go. Unless you were putting the cream away for investment it don't really matter how much you get paid. Enjoying your work . . . priceless. We spend our prime time on the job - should think it's something good.

    Still here, whew!

    One last chance to poison the water with your embalming fluid and McDonaldland grease. A legacy.

    Still here, whew!

    That edge is there regularly. Inches of clearance, glass in every direction, unknown life support structure, couple power lines, windy. And then we get to drag it all out.

    Still here, whew!

    Maybe a doable rig or chuck with no rigging on a calm day?
