big silver maple removal

I hope you have chaps under those spiffy cargo pants. I am a PPE guy.

Whats with setting up all those blocks to just move the brush and organize it maybe 15 yards to a different spot?

Just a question don't take it seriously.

If the tree was an "extreme threat for failure," what was the target? Were the clients dead set on removal? Were mitigation options discussed?
 
Neighbor's house.. direct hit.. no way anyone was going to take on the liability of trying to preserve that tree. She had a bunch of estimates.. I have pics of the split at the base of the co-doms
 
Nice work on the Silver maple, those trees can be difficult climbs. Dont have a good center to work out of occasionally, like an elm.
I will say, you consistently have the biggest LZ's I have ever seen. Must be nice

Agree with Dan. That was a large one for sure Daniel.

You sure do get some great large LZ's too Daniel.

Taking the time to pull that brush out of the bank I'm sure was worth it. Looked like you set it up nice for a chipper winch or skid loader, or what have you. Looked like alittle showing off for the costumers

It happends, when its a fun day

Those are my "pro's".
 
Your cons can kiss my chaps !!! :)
(or lack thereof)

Lots of tips brushing on the way to those Lz's

Also keep in mind, that a wide open LZ is often required for enough roon to get wide enough angle for video... Camera stays home most other times..
 
I have to say that camera man does an awesome job too. Its not easy following pieces falling and everything else moving. It is very clear whats being done.
 
when i see lots of people responding, i am then tempted to view another of your videos.

All I've got to say is, you sounded like a little girl in the beginning when you hurt your hand and said, "owwwwwwl".
 
Might get there eventually.. really looking forward to meeting Chip!!! Gonna see if he has the balls to call me a pusey to my face..

Need to get in a lot better shape and drop the tire first though.. even then its gonna be iffy.. too much going on up here for that...

I'd like to make the masters challenge in den-del at least once.. have to be one of those years nobody shows up in Pittsburg though, or I'd have to get really lucky...
 
Its comments like the one below, that just make me shake my head and smile, knowing that even an idiot can run a tree business..

Those were the homeowners kids standing on the porch right next to the camera, which is why their audio came in so well..

you've GOT to be kidding!

No one watching that video would ever think that little girls voice came from you in that tree. Knucklhead!

I was being funny.

I guess idiots like you can't figure that out.

Fine, you want some real feedback?

You cut those large limbs where you did cause you were getting uneasy about going out any further and you don't mind risking busting up stuff.

Releasing big heavy 45 degree limbs like that with snap cuts is likely going to result in you getting wacked in the chest someday by the bounching stub.

After that swing in the beginning, it's a good thing you cut the film cause I bet it took you 10 minutes to get yourself up onto that next limb.

I can hear your voice yelling to your ground guy now, "okay, okay, you ready, you sure? you got the camera going, okay here it goes" and you swing. Then when you get to the next limb, in your head you are thinking, "okay, okay, stop the freakin' camera I can't get up on this limb!"

Just about every log you dropped speared into the soil. Making huge holes. A skilled guy would cut the notch the right size and the length of the log right so that most of them flipped and landed flat on the ground. Or came off and landed flat on the ground.

That large trunk you dropped, why would you leave that Y in the top and drop that Y right into the ground. yeah, i saw the cushion logs, your lucky the Y didn't break off and shoot somewhere.

Would have been good to wear chaps in that last felling clip in an odd location like that especially.

I don't like all your keys. People that wear keys like that are weird. Or should be a janitor.
 
Oh wow! I just watched a part again after i wrote. That Y DID bust off when it hit!
ahhhhh.gif


Oh well, just bounced into some other small trees, flowers and such.
