    Small Jobs

    I love it. Lol Set-up fee is a nice one, keeps the nonsense away and is an honest reflection of the time it takes to get to the job site, unload, load, and get back to the shop.

    Large, uprooted doug-fir laying into another doug-fir... thoughts?

    Looks like a lot of jobs I rolled up to post Helene. Pretty simple to work out. Climb out of the hung up tree, brush out the leaner, get it down to the trigger cut, cut last little pressure point from the bottom and get ready for a little ride. Make sure your chain brake is operational and your...

    Seed Collecting / Tree Climbing

    I went on iNaturalist and saw one entry for clammy locust that turned out to be bogus. Then another for southern sugar maple that was actually a black maple. There’s an entry for southern sugar maple in the UNCA botanical gardens though that I imagine is accurate, and it should be making seeds...

    Need a new mechanical

    Yes. I bought one in 2017, a second in 2018, and haven’t bought a device since.

    Need a new mechanical

    I use an OG RR for crane work and all work and have wanted for nothing.

    Seed Collecting / Tree Climbing

    At the conference in Memphis Kim Coder got me energized about assisted climate migration. They’ve got baby live oaks growing in Philadelphia! I’d love to grab live oak acorns from the northern most part of their range (piedmont?) and start some here. Long leaf pines seem to be a good bet too...

    Seed Collecting / Tree Climbing

    Andrew!! Good to see you on here. I’d pay good money for some robinia viscosa seeds. Only place I could find them was off a guy in New Hampshire on Etsy. Lol. They’re supposedly native to here but I’ve never seen em. They’d probably be blooming right about now along with the black locusts, but...

    How's the work flow?

    Same. Overall economy is broken in our area, esp post Helene, and everyone and their cousin started a tree company after the storm. Calls are more essential hazard mitigation for middle class folks rather than maintenance / restoration prunes for the wealthy.

    I fell yesterday

    Glad you’re safe Matias. Takes a long while to shake it off- you’ve always been a reflective thoughtful learner and I’m sure you’ll take away a lot from this.

    That goofy dork looking guy Nick from Tree Stuff can shove it.

    I earned my $8m day rate already when I pointed out the 60% of the pentagon’s assets are unaccounted for. Cutting their budget by 60% seems in order, at the least. You told me to be patient and wait for Doge to get to it. What’s the holdup? While I’ve been waiting I’m watching people get...

    How’s this. When the former biggest employer in Haywood county NC, the Canton paper mill opens up (shouldn’t be hard, only closed a couple years ago), I’ll buy you tariffarians a $50 carabiner. It isn’t for lack of trees to harvest on the ground!

    Umm. ‘Diesel’ is on the list? lol

    Kids New Tribe Twist for sale

    What's the size / weight range for that? My little guy is probably too small for it but I'm tempted.

    Please consider changing the title of this thread. It’s petty and mean, and I’d like to have at least the illusion that there may be an adult conversation I could enjoy.

    That goofy dork looking guy Nick from Tree Stuff can shove it.

    Are the manufacturing plants opening up in the old mill towns? My dad was in manufacturing. It all caved in 2009. No one even knows what the first step is at this point in getting manufacturing going again. I love the idea of investing in startups that focus on manufacturing here, we absolutely...

    Memphis Southern ISA

    Yeah my bud Maria got stranded there. Bummer. Wishing the worst forecasts are wrong… I saw 18” of rain possible, 1000 year flood. I’ll be there next Friday presenting! If anyone here is going to be there please say hey!

    Join Craig's Tree Service of Hendersonville NC as an Experienced Tree Climber

    You gotta talk up the blue ridge mountains! How fun and beautiful it is to live here. The biodiversity! The magnificent landscape (even in its Helene recovery!) Stuff like that made an impression on me on a post 9 years ago and it’s partly why I decided to move to Asheville ;)

    Lakeside Work

    I would call this a learning experience. Now you can outline a realistic expectation for customers and most of the time they will be pleasantly surprised by how much you did NOT fuck up their lawn. And when it just happens, you can say sorry, but this is just the nature of tree work. It’ll look...

    SRS and MRS length

    Yes- I have connected two ropes with splices with a carabiner in the past, but I prefer not having hardware down where a branch could impact it during work. Zeppelin is very reliable and it makes me look cool tying it, which is of course very important.

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    ICE is abducting all kinds of folks now, not just folks of color but recently detained this white Canadian citizen, who was in one of the American Pie films. She was held for nearly two weeks due to an ‘incomplete work visa’. No political or legal conflicts whatsoever. “They are housed...
