    You Tube Time Lapse Video Blue River Tree Care

    That sounded similar to the intro theme music for the show Game of Thrones or maybe modified from it? Was the video shot by a professional? Very well put together.. Looks like there was a climber setting slings and a bucket op cutting?? Seems like a waste if that was the case, one of those...

    theXman a bully?

    I Think society as a whole these days is becoming full of weaklings. There is a huge difference between criticism and bullying. I grew up as a twin. Competition is what made us strong and criticism/ridicule for being bad at something is what made us excel at whatever we did. When you...

    Ficus Removal 2013

    Never make a pile of brush and bomb onto it unless your or someone you know is NOT cleaning it up.. nobody likes piles of twisted broken brush with logs piled on top, why not just cut your tie in a face plant into the pool deck. I had the opposite reaction when watching the video. Why take the...

    Who to hire first?

    Want to move to Michigan?? =) You sound motivated for not having a steak in the company?? PHC.. Should be a no brainer for your boss. PHC will break you into a whole new market. Why not start a PHC program and also hire a new climber when the seasonal work picks up..

    Angies List?

    I posted our business profile last winter on Angies List. I went all season without hearing of anyone finding us through Angies List. Not surprised since we don't have any reviews on their site. I just got a packet in the mail last week with a few offers from them. They will send out 100...

    Cottonwood Crane Removal

    Thanks SuperK! Staying on top of your game is hard when you don't have the opportunity to do crane jobs on a regular basis. I wish we had more =). I have made an effort to market and sell crane jobs this past year and It went well. In 2011 we had 9, this year we did 21. I'm hoping to double...

    Cottonwood Crane Removal

    Yes, SuperK. Its a a game with the crane op to see who can guess closest to the weight of the pick before taking it. The first pick was around 2500, I guessed 2200. We don't do it on every pick but mostly with larger picks or if we start working at a new distance. The only picks we really...

    Cottonwood Crane Removal

    223 I have it mounted on the top/front of the helmet aiming downward a little. I didn't like it on side cause it made the helmet feel off balance. I actually have a contour hd1080p not the roam. Mine doesn't have the ultra wide angle lens. The ground shots were done with tlc100 and tlc200...

    Cottonwood Crane Removal

    http://youtu.be/1RjxbD4uK1s My first attempt at splicing timelapse and helmet cam footage. The helmet cam is a contour roam. I would advise anyone who is looking into one to go with the gopro instead. As you can see in the video, the field of view of the countour is small. The saw and my...

    Some Rigging Time Lapse

    Here are 3 videos from the last few months. First up is a quickie. Very cool job. Triple stem, tall, skinny silver maple over a house, nice patio/landscape to avoid. The only option for camera placement was into the sun. It was also hazy which made the whole video look blurry and distorted...
