We will have Marilyn's Recycle pick the junky wood with their grapple truck.. and they can grab the butts, so...

    Craning some tall beasts

    Craning of a cedar, tall but small fir, and a behemoth--150 feet tall, which produced over 2600 board feet! About 1000 board feet more than I guessed. We dropped the butt log, with the self loader nudging it, to save crane time and due to the weight, which had to have been close to 10000 lb. It...

    Treevet's big bald faced hornet adventure

    Sounds exactly like what I'd expect from someone in tune with yourself and nature as you are, Ryan...... I've also not had any disastrous run ins with bald faced hornets.... the ground based little whirling dervishes are worse, however...not only are they extremely pissed when disturbed, but...

    Sad news, the Lake Quinault Cedar has fallen

    Guy, It's hard to say, because the tree has been in decline for centuries, but I think the formations in question were simply remnants of a once intact core...and not the start of adventitious roots. Also, I spotted, then forgot to photograph, a large tree in downtown Tofino (Vancouver...

    Ropetek at TreeStuff.com

    I go back with Sherrill longer than anyone here save for Dave, I'm sure. Back when they did far more than any other supplier at the time in end user education, via tips for new or improved tree climbing techniques, much of it made possible by innovative new products which Sherril would promote...

    Sad news, the Lake Quinault Cedar has fallen

    I read something about this sad but imminent event (but the poster didn't identify the tree as the Quinault cedar--for sure that is) on facebook a couple weeks ago, but was busy trying to get a lot of work done before leaving on a 10 day photo safari around Vancouver Island--- visiting Reg...

    Sad news, the Lake Quinault Cedar has fallen

    Gettin' up in the morning

    Thanks, Oroboros....I think and hope I'll have time to hit the north and south sections of the SS Coast.... have an old college classmate to visit there, and would like to find Gord, who used to post here now and then. He, and his family company, are very competent climbers and loggers.

    Another sad loss in NJ

    That is so sad, Mark! I try to be always aware of that exact scenario coming into play. Watch like a hawk, avoid it if at all possible, slack lifeline during the critical rigging time, inspect......as has been discussed above by many good people. Let's all stay healthy and come home to your...
