I thought large biceps. I feel like the triceps are the neglected opposing muscle group that should get worked for elbow/ forearm health.

Ah, yes this is so true. But with the weather being nicer the scene on the sidewalk can be absolutely needing my attention.

Singing silly tree song.

I'm a little acorn brown
lyin on the cold cold ground
everybody steps on me
that is why I'm cracked you see
I'm a nut
I'm a nut
I'm a nut

Had to sort through sawdust for change yesterday.

Sawdust in the ears.

Exhibiting forearms that look like they have been through a cat fight--from dragging endless piles of brush. Gotta love spruce, black/honey locust, hawthorn, the list goes on.

 

[lumberjackson]

dont forget the holly! I got to do a big holly removal the other day... and I was smart enough to wear short sleeves... I got the funniest looks that entire week

Coming home to a woman that can't stop smelling you from the often unappreciated smell of oak, pine, spruce, etc

 

[Viking]

uhhhhhhhhh climbers are just weirdos and cool doods all around

 

[surfarmer1]

Smelling like wintergreen from sweet birch removals...

Spruce arms!!! Black sap smears and slashes from wrist to elbow.

And I bet I'm not the only one who almost subconsciously checks for good tie in points when passing large trees I'm never even gonna get to climb! I even do that when I'm watching a movie.

So much fun, so little time to have it in...
One time when we did a lot more spruce deadwooding than we do now, I showed up in short sleeves. Uh oh. It was a Norway spruce which are very rare here. My arms were bad enough after that.
I was so G-d*mned glad it wasn't a Colorado which it is 80 percent of the time.

Anyone here use arm chaps? Derail, I know...

Those are sexy looking for rec climbs but I don't think they are going to cut it in the snaggy world of actual tree work.

 

[fearless]

Craned out a couple big cottonwood trees Friday and my car still smells like crap from the ride home.

 

[treejohn]

Mysterious bruises, racoon eyes, saw dust in my bellybutton, seeing giant nasty trees and wondering when I am gonna have to take them down!!

 

[treehumper]

Coming home with a new "fragrance". My wife does love the smell of fresh cut oak!
