    In ozaukee county and we work into Milwaukee some. I told him to hold it tighter to shoot it out over the driveway rather than land it on the stairs

    Thanks bud! I was planning on contacting them and making my way over there!

    As a contract climber you don't, that's why it's important to talk to your ground guys before the work starts, get a feel for the skill level, start small and work your way up to bigger rigging. If they're really bad I'll rely on self rigging or happily rig down firewood until my 8 hours are up.

    I'm hitting the road

    Getting a jump on this now, I've decided to hit the road contract climbing full time and skip going full tree service for now. I'll be leaving Wisconsin in February more than likely, I'll be traveling with a camper and my dog and looking to start working mainly in the south chasing good weather...

    Agreed, we already had both GRCS's employed in guying the tree back, lots of different options I should have taken looking back. I've only got 7 years climbing so there's always something to improve on from every job. I appreciate your input and the fact that you dig my videos is a huge...

    Oh yeah there was definitely no way I was knocking that away, contracting you tend to rely more on your positioning and anticipation than your groundies because there's always at least one improper rig. I kept my body protected by the stem and my head was on a swivel ready for the butt to...

    Oh definitely! No worries knock away if deserved, I definitely should have taken it in two, I was trying to see how big I could get away with taking stuff haha, the mid tie was to try to keep the piece up higher to float over the two guy lines, still didn't work out and got hung up but that's...

    Probably would have taken it in two, but I was prepped for it to jump back, I want too worried about that.

    Climate Change

    I'm 26, I will see the effects of our current emissions and I think we have an opportunity as a "green" industry to put our heads together and find ways we can contribute to fighting climate change. I tried to work off of a bicycle, the gear is too heavy to transport alone and do enough work to...

    Agreed, I had a bit of sloppy cutting but it was mid tied and held a bit tight to keep from battering a neighbor's oak. Definitely could have been done better though! I've been purposefully putting in clips that aren't just the highlight reel where everything went smooth.

    Thanks Rico, had a bit of sloppy saw work on that rig that snatched my saw a little. Already got them a round and a bonus when the job was done!
