    What did you find in a tree today?

    Was out at an estimate today and saw this Post Oak had slight damage on the side of it and the bark look fine so I went up to take a look at it. Everything under the bark was soft. I created this hole with my hand. Of course I had to see how far I could push it..... Yep up to my elbow...

    Rookie mistake

    Yeah, I embarressed the sh*t out of myself once by cutting upward with my Silky through a fallen Crepe Myrtle stem. I cut through with such force I smacked my self in the jaw line. Just a little of blood through the beard but trying to explain to the rest of the crew without looking like a idiot...

    What was your first year like?

    Either estimate sky high and call everyone you know to come play and pay them really well or walk away. I have yet to find a job that I've walked away from and regretted it.

    What was your first year like?

This learning experience ended costing me about $2,200, and I was broke going into it. I pretty much paid to work . It broke me...

    this is what happens when you tip tie a large vertical limb

    I'm only the messenger. 2) Drop zone standards are twice the height of the tree. If their safe zone was setup correctly then it would have a been "freak" accident. Now they have to live the rest of their lives wondering what would have happened if they had followed the right safety protocols.

    All we ever wanted (was an unfair advantage)

    Yeah.... I'm really not surprised at all.... I've always seen Asplundh as the "gang bangers" of tree work. Besides who gives their company a name that makes you question whether or not you pronounced it correctly every time you say it?

    this is what happens when you tip tie a large vertical limb

    Struck bys meaning that climbers are becoming more careless or less educated climbers are taking on jobs they shouldn't. At the conference they told of a few stories where clients or neighbors who just wanted to see what was going on up close were killed. One in case of a large removal the...

    this is what happens when you tip tie a large vertical limb

    Found out at the Waco, Tx ISA convention this week that "struck-by's" have surpassed electrical contact as the #1 cause of injury/death of both climbers and spectators.

    Starting a rec climbing service

    I sent an email to Patrick Brandt and he helped to fill in the legal part. ( Quote) I have a 1 million dollar general liability policy from Veracity in SLC, Utah for "Guided Tree Climbing". It costs me about $1200 per year and is in addition to my tree work liability insurance. You can see my...
