I've always thought those trucks were super neat, a lot of ability in a super small package.
My 5500 4x4 (chip truck only) always amazes me with its maneuverability, it's been a great truck.

Dissected this maple codominate union. It had aerial roots and carpenter ants inside.

I hope to finish this Novaculite blade and haft it with a pine pitch tar/charcoal glue.

No, a fellow flint knapper friend sent me a nice spall and I've been chipping away at it. Hopefully I won't snap it in half.

Another tall pine with dead limbs.
And my project for Wednesday morning.
My TIP will be out on the lead near the top of the photo, but not far enough out to be directly over the butt of the broken limb.

What a good morning. I climbed and secured the upper end of the limb so it couldn't fall, but I realized I wouldn't be able to get in a good position to cut it loose. The angle to the TIP was too sharp. I came down and limb walked out on a lower limb (LW) to remove almost all of the branches and the end of the limb. I attached another rope to the end, and came down.
It took some serious wagging it around from the ground to break the limb loose. Then I climbed back up to lower it to the ground.
I also removed two smaller limbs from that side of the tree while I was up there, and then I hauled all the mess to the curb.
Yeah, that's definitely a good morning.

A few from the past couple weeks…
My neighbors sugar maple was struck by lightning 20+ years ago. Had some funkiness going on. Decided to make the seat and heart finial for our cul de sac.
My front yard Oak lost a small top from high winds. Easy cleanup, wife roped off t down for me
But the interior heart wood doesn’t look great at the wound…
Today was this skanky dead ash snag. Gentle up and down.

Got these from the other side of Wednesday's tree.
This job's really close to home, so I walked back later with the hand truck and bigger saw to clean up.
The 12" Kobalt saw takes a .043 chain, but the new .050 chain someone gave me works just fine. It's probably better than a new .043 would have been.
It always surprises me how much the top of the tree moves around when I cut one of these loose to hang on the rigging rope.

I've been climbing in the Peruvian Amazon for the past few weeks working with canopy bridges for wildlife crossing. We have been replacing camera traps placed in the canopies and installing new bridges and cameras where we can. These bridges are typically crossing over logging roads where there is no longer canopy connectivity due to some trees being logged. Some species that have been using these bridges include spider monkeys, howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, sloths, porcupines, and many other mammals.

The owner liked what I did with the hanging broken limb, and he said I could take care of any other dead limbs I thought needed to come down. Gotta like that, so for a while I'll have a place to work whenever there's nothing to do elsewhere. Meanwhile, I'm staying busy other places.
