This was my helpers 1st job ever using a LD of any kind. I am so proud of him.
Special message from Easy P at the end!

Your vid's entertaining Jessie.

But I detect a bit of extraneous hamming it up for the camera going on here!

All that overly complicated roping of the heads was great and all, but then you start chunking down bombs away sections cuz? You ain't got all day to play around?

Why do I suspect that whole tree could have been pieced by hand using brush mattresses for a bombing pad in half the time you spent playing in that Nitida?

You definitely put together some fine multi branch combos Jess.

Finally some decent music though!

I dont have the time or energy to explain to you why I did it the way I did. IM tired so I do it as fast and efficietly as possible. NOthing was dammaged. The ropes and rigging and myself were not abused. Hamming it up my . YOur an idiot dude. This is why 70 percent of the Treebuzz population now resided in the Treeclimbers group on FB. Any of you Treebuzzers sick as hell of the armchair critic and ego of this sight, come joiun us on FB. We can cuss....sometimes there are boobs. Its just like this but way way less assholey

S my Bs Jomoco. STILL STILL waiting for the biscut catching system...did you ever get your nets woven....lol you are soooo lame
 
My Jesse, you don't take mild criticism of your bombs away fly by the seat of your pants techniques very well.

my ground guy hates matresses....and little peices. And he hats colateral damage. So, instead of makeing a huge clusterfuck mess, as you suggest, we choose to rigg them long and big. You see Jomoco, this way. the path to the chipper is clear, and the much needed space for my guy to work in is clear. He also like to drag 150 pound branches in one peice as opposed to digging apart a pile....ya I have worked with your kind...lol bombs away.
 
Never make a pile of brush and bomb onto it unless your or someone you know is NOT cleaning it up.. nobody likes piles of twisted broken brush with logs piled on top, why not just cut your tie in a face plant into the pool deck.

I had the opposite reaction when watching the video. Why take the time to rig out most of the tree and then cut and throw some of the logs. Seemed like the logs could have cracked the cement or bounced into the fence/wall. Most likely because the ground guys were busy cleaning up the brush and Jesse wanted to keep moving. Nobody likes to sit idle in the tree. Either way there was no way anyone was bombing that whole tree out, brush pile or not... pool, hot tub, fence, garage = no drop zone.

Nice work, no damage, tree down... Your vids are always entertaining.. I'm surprised you didn't go for a swim at the end!
 
AND...the walls here and that round bench is made of stucco. 1/4 inch plaster over chicken wire and styrophone. I once fell into a wall of a new house here dragging brush, my entire elbow waqs in the wall. Its really stupid. No hurricanes or tornadoes here though so structural integrity isnt thought out so well. I wish I hadnt chunked that wood down. I got lucky. And yes. The sidwalk will crack. Thanks for being realistic Arborman. I was hoping for insight on my use / misuse if the X Rigging RIng. I think I had it set up wrong from what I read earlier...something about the splice coming untwisted? Anyhoo. Happy Saturday people. Sorry Jommocco. Im a dickhead

No need to apologize Jess.

It's obvious you've got some serious skills working in your favor.

And I admit to being somewhat of a jerk. But remember that I'm an experienced jerk when it comes to trategic removals in condos and apartment complexes.

I see that you suffer from the same illusion that X-man suffers from, the mistaken belief that leaving the heads on your lowering points when lowering brush and wood provides any benefit over the same point minus the head?

It's simply a matter of time before both of you learn better the hard way.

Any perceived dampening benefit is minuscule compared to maximum load bearing gains without the head.. It's math that's being ignored at your own peril youngster.

I appreciate that. It didnt seem like such an issue here. Heads or no heads. I know the strength of ficus and kinda enjoy the ride. Perhaps I should remove the tops anyways just as a general rule. It is all about being as safe and efficient as I can be. This tree was kind of a jigsaw puzzle. SOme of the tops might not have been convienient to remove untill the time I did so. Hey, Another thing that I could have done, Remove the lower big wood before doing the second half. We had a few loads get tangled up. Rookie mistake :)

I hate math but I cant bring my kid on the job so I geuss Ill just heed all my peers warnings. Thats why I make the dumb vids in the 1st place.

I searched the group, looks to be a closed group. Can you hit me with an invite? I always like your vids. You always seem to have fun. Keep it cooking. I did notice you are in short sleeves, I miss the west coast.
 
Ya, no more cursing. I try not to even let my self get impatient with him. He actualy has a good eye for rigging and made suggestions that helped alot and made me safer. Ill do anything to get m ore work just to keep this guy around. He is THAT important. Thanks Nora. Kick Chip in the nutz for me will ya?
