Yea it's a beast, the winch is so strong it makes the tool without the winch just clearing out the area when the digger fell would've taken multiple days. Even if you had a big chipperand could get in close enough

No special skills on my part probably a lack of skill in the photo, really hard to capture how incredible the tree is especially since it's on a steeper hill and not really out in the open. Never been pruned or messed with from what I can see just a perfect specimen. I think the thinnest part of the trunk was still 48" or better in diameter.

Oregon oak? How did you attach the video to the post without it bring youtube/vimeo etc?
Not positive on the type of oak, we're in nor cal given it's size/age its hot to be something native to our area.
On the video I honestly have no idea why it worked it popped up when I clicked the share image icon, I thought it was one of the photos and posted it, it's just straight from my phone (s10 e) no editing or cropping.

Amazing tree. That oak picture makes me miss northern California like nothing else. What a beautiful place!
Just for fun I was looking for the cheapest top handle saw on Amazon and came across this gem for $130 with some truly top-notch photoshopping:

Today I got the drone footage from a customer on a job I did a while back, I think that means I have to become an Instagram-Tree-Guy® now, haha.
Honestly though, it's some neat footage. Here is flying from the ground to the top on a ~140' fir and taking the top.

Surprised you didn't take that top off at the funky spot where it went from thick to thin really quickly, looks like you had plenty of room.
There was a house behind me, so I was being cautious and decided to take a small top. Honestly it is so easy to spur up another 10-20 feet stripping limbs on firs like this, to improve safety it is almost always worth it to do so.
Edit: If I wasn't working solo that day I would have set a pull-line and had my ground guy use the rope puller to take big top.

Yea as close to 0% risk as possible is best 1% chance of bad stuff happening stacks up to 100% pretty fast if you're doing something all day everyday. I would've done the same thing but I pretty much always work with 1 other guy or more so I've always got a puller.

Not work related, killing some time when my wife is going in for a mammogram which is quickly becoming of concern.
Walked the beach for a bit with the weee one. Though this is a proper metaphor.

Sorry to hear about the concerning mammogram! My little brother just had a cancer scare this week, a swollen lymph node. Fortunately he’s still in remission, just got the good news this morning. I’ll be praying you and your wife get good news too!
