jf1962,
That looks about as hideous a job as it gets!
I would rather remove Bougainvillia from a Coral tree!
Well done for doing it!

horrible, i've removed ivy from trees, but never with rats in, dont the rats try to bite your hands?

 

[JesseHuffman]

I have done removals similar but not as bad as that.
Bro, my hat goes off to you.
There are qualities that a climber must posses to handle that stuff that go beyond rigging and general climbing knowledge. You sir, are an animal. Much like the Tasmanian devil I suspect. I know you are probably to humble to wear a helmet cam but I do think it would be compelling footage.
The horror! Did you wear a mask? Years of MASS production palm work has left me with a little tickle in my lungs.
Ever have to take out a rat with your handsaw or chainsaw?
Uhg....I respect you, but I don't envy you.
Great work.
Stay safe.

Yea that is insane! Good work...i have no experience with palm trees because i do live where it snows....looks like you know what you are doing....awesome work though

Jesse, thanks for the kind words

..I don't have a helmet cam , but I'm looking for a good one .I due ware a face mask when doing these palms but forgot it at home .. Rats are no match for a STILH saw or a Silky hand saw

This wkend I have 3 full skirt palms over a house to remove , will post some pics, not looking forward to this job , but it pays good.. CLIMBERS WANTED!!
