a pat on the back

I try my best to not spur trim. It's been a conviction of mine since the early 70's. But some of the conifers on the coast are so lean, tall and fragile in the strength of their limbs that it is just too dangerous to attempt entering them with a TIP set from the ground. So the spurs are used on occasions here on trims.

It's purely geographic, but it is the way it is.
 
Whats this 5 min lecture? I need a quick one for friends and clients alike that say, "I want the tree to be reduced to that point" (pointing about 3/4 of the way up, in hard wood)

We def get the "you guy's know best" its good to have a good reputation and be trusted.

Little off topic, my feud with my boss is; Is footlocking a tree for pruning/ deadwooding quicker than bodythrusting? We raced a tree little while ago, small straight forward deadwood. Finished in the same time. Starting from setup to tear down.


Congrats FT in the change over, i've been fortunate that i started with a certified company so no topping and no spikes was ingrained into me from the start. (This way you can't say that i competely derailed the thread!)

by far footlocking is much faster, it just depends on your set up. When doing a large tree use srt so you can work the tree on your way up, and come down the other side.
 
That's what I'm talking about Marc, taking pride in what you do, standing up for what you believe regardless of the costs, a lesson to all of us. Did you pass the test or have you taken it yet? Best of luck to you, it will be another feather in your hat.

Don't forget about looking pretty while your trimming Tom, and of course being safe and efficient.
