    I’m done

    thanks @islandarb . its still quite a thing to live life. these dramas and destructions are beyond my design and beyond my repair. the closer i come to truth, the less I willingly submit to false ways. the closer we are to nature, the closer we find truth.

    I’m done

    Thank you. It's an honor to be heard and to read your reflections of that. It can be hard to find those who really understand what we go through. I value the kinship we have here. "you will only have two choices: love or fear." Meeting the trees, this choice is often present in an extreme...

    I’m done

    the other day I was entertaining a desperate viewpoint, reliving failures, wondering how I am here with (what can look like) little to show for it, after all the spinning wheels, relational burns, scrapes and bruises, just hitting this sense that I fail over and over. I wonder why all the effort...

    Is this dead tree removal plan workable?

    Good to hear these ideas. I looked at a dead Birch that is leaning right over a house, only about 15 feet from the gutter, way over the roof. ~45' tall, 15" dbh. Mushrooms fruiting out the side of it, no drop zone anywhere, adjacent tree limbs abound... I thought of similar ideas to what is...

    Looking for a change of pace

    I went down to Florida and was able to help with a bit of cleanup. Mainly I ended up plugging into temporary roof repairs and weatherization to help people with their basic living condition. I was beginning to gain some steam but had a number of things call me back home. I am glad to share...

    Anyone use 1/4" polyester braid for prusik loops?

    interesting to read about rope use on roofs. I was considering this on a recent roof job, but the planks are so familiar and customary to the guy I was working with that it seems counterproductive to divert time to a new system. I have definitely been looking for new times to expand my use of...

    Bug bites

    I have used CLAY on myself and my son for wasp bites which continued to flame up after a few days, and also on a friend who may have had a spider bite. The powdered Clay. For a very intense wasp sting you can simmer echinacea root in water, and use that water to wet out the clay. Pack it on...

    Anyone working Hurricane Ian?

    Thanks! I got signed up with them. They said there will be a lag while insurance claims come through. I spoke with a local tree man, after calling around. And he actually made a handful of calls for me to see if anyone needed help! Tree family is inspiring and amazing. He referred me to a...

    Anyone working Hurricane Ian?

    As for a cutting report, this was my first time putting a saw to palm wood. I had that heavy leaner to drop with the lay, chance to feel out the wood. I couldn't make a deep notch because the weight of the lean wanted to bind the bar. It fell fine, it only had one place to go. For the...

    Anyone working Hurricane Ian?

    Arrived earlier this week to the Fort Meyers area. Yesterday we saw these trees with rootwads bulging and one leaning at the house. I couldnt rest as it keeps raining and the soil is full. He didnt call us back but we went to check and got them down safely This is how Joe described it...

    Clandestine pruning

    "He starts trimming the tree and admiring his work and kind of stepping back," "We really just want him to stop doing this." Cracking up over here. I wonder if any of my clients ever said that about me. :ROFLMAO:

    Oak suckers

    as I recall, it's probably best to leave about 1/3 of them, and to select the best sprout from each node. As others said, if it's an extreme stress response, maybe err on the side of leaving more than 1/3.

    Anyone working Hurricane Ian?

    @Helmstein I am sure there are many ways. Much of it is just door to door. My old boss used to go down for all the storms, doing assessments for HMI and the PGA golf courses. We used to fill those HMI contracts, but my own biz isn't at that scale. Years ago when that hurricane rocked...

    Anyone working Hurricane Ian?

    Thanks for the heads up. That did come up as part of the original conversation, having a guarded staging area. I would need to remind myself to be vigilant, I am so used to being in farmland and the R.I. Shire much of the time. I found this article from Gilman, "Restoring Trees After a...

    Anyone working Hurricane Ian?

    A friend of mine has done flood clean-up before and got down there yesterday. He is lining up a few crews for debris removal, and has organized housing. I am planning to head down next week, prepared for clean-up, restoration, and tree work. It sounds like roofs and temporary tarps are a big...

    who needs a winch (hard lean tale)

    that is cool. would be a great thing to have. These trees themselves weren't very big, weight-wise, it was just a huge amount of lean. sharing the load between two anchors, also allowed the post to be in play. It was a 4x4 firmly in the ground, I assessed it's movement as a tensioned...

    who needs a winch (hard lean tale)

    absolutely, any and all anchors will be utilized. the posts of a clothesline helped direct the angle. Threading between another tree and a shed.
