You got to climb a…HARDWOOD TREE??!!??!! Nice job. It’s amazing how a good throw bag shot can make you feel on top of the world.

Pruned out a ton of Mistletoe from this Hickory. This is a before pic. I forgot to get the after picture. I’m curious to see how it does. Some of the pruning cuts I’m not proud of, but most of the cuts are below each infected area. Maybe in a couple of years I’ll prune out more.

That would make for some interesting toast.
I’d also love to see how it does. I am about to tackle some in a flowering cherry with quite an open crown. Some of the cuts will look pretty darn aggressive but I’ve seen plenty of trees respond from storm damage back into a fairly natural shape in a few years. Heck, they’re going by so quickly now it should look great in no time!

I'll get a picture of a pin oak that I did a major mistletoe removal on two years ago. It looks so good now, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy everyday when I pass it on my way home. Several big cuts were needed to get it all the way out too.

Haha! I just remembered that I got video of that job. I was still developing a work flow then, so excuse the constant wandering.
You wanderer. HA! Nice work. All clean now. Working a tree like that vs. cutting it down certainly does give that great feeling inside as you see them again and again Over the years. Thankfully we have a few around here too, and it’s a nice thing.

An add-on to the previous job is removing suckers and dead limbs from two more oaks...
and adding them to the pile.

Treelife 80's style. Steep ground, big timber and a massive Skyline yarder. Cool photo of the chaser on the landing. I was working in the brush on this job, which was one of the last legit OG jobs in the Santa Cruz Mountains (circa 1983-84). We yarded logs as big as 12-13 ft diameter out of this deep and steep canyon.
Jacking over a nice red on the same job. I am running the jack under the mentorship of one of the best timber fallers I ever had the good fortune of working with...

Thanks for the share. Super cool to see old film. I’m old enough to have a stack of my own that I need some time to go through, but they were the commercial fishing days of my youth, and my father’s life before mine.
It’s as this there are 2 ways to look at them…one is the forest for the trees way and catch a broad idea of the time. Another is in the details, and how much can be learned or remembered by someone that lived in a way similar to the subject. Pretty cool.

I was in the tree about 35 feet away and got the best video I have ever taken on my phone of a job.

I can recognize the sound of a 200 T anywhere.

Oh Man, the old bait and switch.
EDIT: this was actually “yesterday”…
Here was another tight one over a landscape bed and leaching field. Hardly enough room in the driveway for a proper LZ including room to stage larger wood for later pickup. Chip truck bumper was just about in the street. Luckily there was no metal in the trunk, just a squirrel family of 4 in a large cavity. They were all safely removed before the logs were taken from the property. Last trunk pick was just shy of 3k. Heavy old Oak down low.

Helping another tree company out with crane service on this oak that was Falling apart, wires on either side.Many of the limbs when I grabbed with grapplesaw didn’t require the cut function to take them down. They just severed off when squeezed in the grapple very punky. Trunk wood was sound. Took some 4k picks on the big wood as we worked it down. Dusted off , all done by 12 p.m. actually took a proper lunch for once in my life lol
Had a good work day today, all solo on my home island compared to my usual commute. No cleanup jobs, just get it down and leave. Started by taking down a dying grand fir surrounded in calm waters, then a 120' rotting big leaf maple while tied into a neighboring tree, then some hangers in the bucket for my friends.
