    Today....

    Just had the blower sent up to hit the roof before dropping below it. Fortunately just a vacation home so no issue with the vent pipes :)

    Today....

    Spruce removal in a tight spot. I don't typically have to do a lot of negative rigging around here because so often there's room to free fall stuff or other trees to rig off and people don't seem too persnickety about a little lawn damage, but I certainly had to chunk this one all the way down...

    Deadwooding a couple messy Siberian Elms. Terrible trees, I know, and right next to the house, but I guess the HO's dad planted them when the previous American Elms succumbed to DED. Enjoying the @Muggs style BDB DdRT setup with the Camp Gyro, very smooth!

    72 Years Young

    Aging well seems very much correlated to functional mobility, which requires continuing to use our bodies/joints through their full range of motion. If you observe older people in countries where they don’t use chairs and therefore spend a lot of time in deep squats, they generally seem to...

    There's an unfortunate number of such lawns around here... Much clearing was done either before the shoreland zoning restrictions were in place/enforced and now grandfathered in or in complete disregard of the rules. Of course now it's all seawalls and just need the DEP to sign off on the plan...

    A couple recent jobs. Fun multi-stemmed pines...if it just weren't for the dang pitch! Loving the BDB though and it does seem to handle it better than anything else I've run. Thanks @surveyor !

    Working at a lakeside camp the last couple days. Love my job! :) Tried to convince them to leave this snag for the critters, but alas: Didn't care if I hit the rock in this case, but that would have been some precision felling if I intended it, haha! Some serious white rot in these red...

    Subcontractor warnings

    The subbing I enjoy around here is when I show up and climb to put everything on the ground, then someone comes later and cleans it all up :ROFLMAO:

    Very well, thanks. With the autofeed, it really has no problem maxing out the log diameter. But of course, hardwood that size is used for firewood around here anyway (except some of the poplar). Throws really nice chips too. Sometimes I wish it had the 360deg shoot, since I'm always blowing the...

    Today....

    Wrecking out a few poplars over the service drop. Plenty of room to launch tops over the line without rigging.

    DMM Harness

    I wonder if they’ll make the other options available eventually as different stock setups. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re trying to get the adjustable bridge out there initially to convert some skeptics who haven’t tried it before. I’m sure it’s not for everyone, but I bet there are a lot of...

    DMM Harness

    Just saw that all the bridge options are now available for the Kinisi, two eye, one eye, no eye, and webbing:

    DMM Harness

    I certainly have no love for the Sequoia, but coming from a rock/alpine climbing background, it was familiar to the kinds of harnesses I was used to. Of course in those pursuits you’re usually not hanging in the harness continuously (and there’s a reason hanging belays always kinda suck)...

    what do much smaller tree companies with small yards do for chip/log dumping?

    With FB marketplace when you post something for free, everyone says they want it but never show up. Charge a dollar and the results certainly improve (although FB is still full of flakes). Maybe it has to do with having some sense of skin in the game, even if they money hasn’t been paid yet…

    Jacking over a spar

    Good explanation. That certainly makes sense about the Dutchman possibly being packed with sawdust

    Jacking over a spar

    That's partly why I was wondering if they tried to bore out the hinge after the fact. It's odd that they used a Humboldt, shaved the bark, bored out a spot for the jack, and that their cuts were generally pretty level and lined up, and YET that had this awful dutchman... Something doesn't compute.

    Jacking over a spar

    From the size of the cutout, I was guessing they tried to do it with a regular bottle jack, rather than a tree jack

    Jacking over a spar

    Haha, yeah I call any bypass of the gunning or sloping cuts a Dutchman, even if it completely displaces the holding wood. When I first watched the video, I wondered if they were intentionally gutting the hinge from the face to try and get it to go, but probably not.
