Lightning Strike

[sherwood7]

Ratchet straps do work wonders. Much better if u can bomb out a lot of it. If u have to block down any wood, I'd def rig from another tree or go with a crane. Hard to tell what's underneath/around the tree from the pictures. Good luck if u get the bid. Should be an interesting one.

hmmm wouldn't attempt it with out a pro with me for a second set of eyes.

A pro?

That doesn't look too bad for climbing. A few ratchet straps would help. I have seen one that had 1/3 of the tree blown off. Parts were found two or three houses down the street.

A pro vs a hack. You know, a tree professional who has experience, not some invincible reckless kid who will climb anything. Someone like many of the people on this board.

Who says lightening doesn't strike twice in the same place! This site is going to be developed as a Compressed Natural Gas fueling station too.

Wow. Tough tree

 

[oldoakman]

Yeah, but I'm afraid the bull dozer is going to ultimately win. Final development plans have been approved.

put heavy duty straps around the tree at different points if you must climb it. the kind of straps they would use on semi-trucks

Never forget that a hack can easily turn into a pro with the right guidance.

and experience. Maybe the others are not so reckless, but have reckoned the risk and find it acceptable.
