Nice Ash tree, chains dont belong in trees

Exellent post! Nice job seeing the price you might have paid, ive done the same sort of thing and it is quite the eye opener to say the least.

Hes tied in just fine. Whats the problem? Should be wearing a hard hat, he aint hurting nobody but himself. His posture and look on the face seems like he is doing just fine, what a pile of crap ripping on this guy!

We have to ask our selves if its ok to spurr this tree or not? It is not truly logical to not spur all (living) trees. Some people that spur live trees, do not always have to, But If im not that person, looking at that paticuler tree at that paticuler time, how does one...

Good Topic I recently was brought in the bush to try some climbing with an employer whos been teaching guys to climb for years. I walked up to this suger maple that was covered in spur marks, marks buy the hundreds maybe thounsands top to bottom Litterally machine gunned...

From my past experience this question seems rediculous. Ive been hand filing saws for 15 years with no gauge or guide, From my experience, It has to be done. I get saws sharper than new. I sure could not have got by with machining my chains, how does one use that stuff when its not...

Well, using a couple of tons of force to pull, to help make sure a giant mass of wood doesnt land on someones living room? Might be a good idea sometimes. With the RIGHT EXPERIENCE, how could you not use a truck SOMETIMES? a tree being pulled in a certain direction...

The first tree in a APPLE not a mulbery. The second tree is a willow.

Ya thanks, i stated in my first post that there is lots of snow. begely tree, its pretty obvious that the tops will get dirty when dragged across bare ground. There is alot of snow here. Second geussing my boss who has almost no experience in forestry is well called for. I think...

I am curently working for a guy doing firewood, who collects his wood from older tree tops left behind from logging. he uses a mid sized 4 wheel drive tractor, and myself and another guy cut the tops up where they lay, which is all over a 50 acre area. Then he goes around with the...

What i suggested is not nessecarly the best idea nor is it about speed, its and effort to get one to think outside the box, and what we have been taught is nesecary, isnt always, go ahead and notch'em all. Please do what is the safest. For you.

Sensitive, livewire, man, I post on here cause i have alot of experience OKAY ALOT. When people don't bother to even imagine an idea, not even for a second, that insults me, and it insults my idea of what this site is about. I dont understand the logic that some members have when they beat...

That was the rope mans fault all the way. Ive roped countless tops like that and you really got to let them runn down as far as posibble.

What i ment was only on smaller blocks diameter wise, and about a couple of feet long. Just forget i ever said it. I did not mean to ruin every bodys day with a simple thread. I might leave this site now. Cause once again i dont know ????.

For every one that doubts this idea. So that means that i Either worked for the one climber in the world that could do this saftley? Or im mistaken 1000 times over, by which i mean watching a climber do this almost every day with no ill effects is WHAT, a fluke, Mistake? And...

murph, have you imagined this technique or are you just crapping on me because it never dawned on you?
