    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    It depends on who I can find. I'm looking. Mostly, I can find work for the staff I can find. Some days it's me, like yesterday, I took down 8 firs and bid a job. Today, and the past M and Tu, my regular employee who climbs a bit (whenever possible ). Occasional, 2 in addition to me. About...

    Tell me about cottonwoods

    Large limbs can fail from Sudden/ Summer Limb Drop. Sometimes standing while ridiculously hollow. I've cut a number on very large, very hollow CW. Many on the same site. One twisted of the stump in a big spiral fracture, so the rest went. Smelly. Beware hidden stick-water...

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    Paul Cox told me he sometimes wished he stayed my size of biz. Constant stress of hazard trees, then the two major oversights/ critical injuries from, maybe, rushing. Acute and chronic stressors are significant.

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    I started my response early in the thread on my phone and have been editing it. Might be a bit jumbly. .................. It's understandable to long for adventurous days in younger years with less responsibility over mundane details and ultimate responsibility for a tree manuever pulled off...

    If DMM made more carabiners that locked on a ring like the Revolver

    Idk. I use a ponytail/ hair band to keep my akimbo centered on my DMM oval. It doesn't crossload at the bridge ring when snug on the device at the other end. Very cheap and easy.

    Treatment for board/ lag bolt compressed trees from a treehouse swing.

    I haven't seen necrosis in the previous handful of years. The owners of about 9 years got the tree house and swing as part of the property. A handful of years ago, she initially asked about a removal bid since the doug-fir had a lot of dead branches. She thought dead branches meant it was...
