Here's a Black Spruce that I'll be visiting when it gets a little warmer...

Can you get equipment to it?

 

[Kevin]

Climbing equipment.

Did it uproot?

 

[Kevin]

I haven't been in there to eyeball it yet Tod but that's my guess.
It looks like the wind was a little too much for the roots.
I'll go in and dig around in the snow and look it over before climbing it but from what I see it looks pretty sound.

Come on Kev, drop that thing and go home.

Not going to do a stress test on the cable Kevin? It's leaning the right way

Could it be a canditate for your "leaning tree" calculator?

Now what would be more fun than walking up the back of this and taking the top off?
I get lots that are hanging off the strand, these are the ones that make my job interesting.
The quick and dirty thing to do would be to ease it down on the strand, knock the top off it, come down and cut the tree free of the stump and let it fall to the ground.
This is an excuse to climb.
