    Drone use

    Thankfully, I have lots of experience setting lines the old-fashioned ways... experimenting with the hook shot recently. Pre-climb inspections would benefit. Yesterday, I had 2 tall dead/dying firs that would have been nice to view more thoroughly at the site visit.

    Drone use

    Is anyone using drones to initially get a line in a tree? Possibly something smaller than a standard throw line. I used 80# halibut line on a reel with a 4 oz weight to shoot a very high shot, then changed to their line, then a rope. Similar might be required here.

    GoPro cameras for tree work

    Thanks for the input. I'm having some idea that a way to scale a tree work biz is through content creation. IDK. I hear all the parts of it being work. I anticipate it being a chill exploration and long-term project. I see people being successful at doing tree work with drama. I...

    Does anyone advertise on Facebook?

    2019-2021 was a different time than now. Avoid the normalcy bias. Nextdoor allows you to post in your target neighborhoods. Facebook groups can allow this as well. I have good exposure from it for my local area that is also my target market.

    Some doug- firs in a root disease pocket. 6 felled with wedges/ pushing, one pull, one climb. JetSled on its maiden voyage at a big fir prune.

    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.

    If it was even just sorta hard, lots of people would be entrepreneurs.

    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...
