Jeez, you guys down south must be desperate? The guy that follows me charges $75 for the first foot of diameter and a hundie for each additional foot. And thats stump in the ground! I leave 3 stumps 36" wide and he makes $900 and doesn't take the chips! For the bigger trees I get a hoe. No point...

Hack? People call me to take down all those lovely old growth cedars in North Van that ARBORISTS beheaded 20-30 years ago! So I'm the bad guy? They didn't like the fact that the branches where ripping off in the wind because the only thing holding them on was cambium the 3' wide surgical sites...

Common, now! Im still laughing at the last thing you said! It hurts, make it stop!!

Stop! your killing me!! i can stop laughing !!! That's a good one!!!!

Oh, just so you know I am a professional tree rigger, I dismantle trees for a living. It is and has been my sole source of income for the last 25 years, and before that I logged old growth cedar for the shake and timber markets. And in that time I have zero injuries and no property damage! None...

Agreed but there is another part to that equation, I know you Know but others might not. If your rope angle is less than 45 degrees you lose advantage on your pull. It is better to be lower on the tree and have good pull angle than higher on the tree with bad angle. To counter lower rope heights...

Really? I use my 5 ton bucket truck and a 7/8" Samson Bull rope to pull some mighty big trees down with ease! Are you telling me I'm doing it wrong? I've been doing it wrong successfully for years! I make a damn fine living doing it wrong. And sticks instead of wedges? Common man? Really? Are...

Ok so to cut to the chase here, Pollarding is very commonly done to any tree with adventitious growth characteristics, the most common tree in North America that gets this type of abuse is the willow tree. These trees can become super messy and large. Clients for some reason don't want them...

I loaned the book out to one of my guys but Berenek's book of three work is considered the bible of falling and climbing.

That's not what I'd be sticking in your mouth chumpy!

Yeah that's great and the branches?

You see this is the difference between a good helpful comment and the remark made by the young lad (I am assuming by the wording ) that would only say that because of distance. A real man would face to face a remark like that. If I would slap his face with a glove and challenge him to a duel by...

Firstly I am Canadian so my tax regulations are slightly different than yours. I can tell you this for sure I didn't here you say cash ( but the IRS might ) don't do that again not here not anywhere! To answer your other questions you will require receipts for purchases. All purchases such as...

Figure 8's are OK but you would be better off with a Rescue 8. Do some product research before you buy stuff. Spending 8 bucks rather than 10 on a much better tool is a bad investment.

I didn't mention vagina anywhere in my statement. And I am personally quite happy about my manhood thank you. I am merely suggesting that comparing things that can obviously out perform the user is moot. It becomes a ( mine is bigger than yours game ) useless for describing the advantages or...

I think you guys are being stupid about faster this and better that. My 990XP will keep 2 guys sweating like fat drunks all day long how much faster do you need to be? As for chip quality who the f..k cares just get em' into the truck and be done with it. What a bunch of egotistical moronship I...

I'd say you got yerself one bigassed Beaver in them thar hills!

I always have a rescue 8 and a 5/8 pulley with locking biner on my waist and at least 2 tubular webbing slings with lockers. You can do a lot of work with the right gear on hand. Do use a wire core flip line unless you are playing around power lines better safe than dead. Take a regular rope or...

Try a good sharp Silky out for size. They are quiet, great on fuel, light, make very fast cuts, they are cheap and when limbing fir trees can be even faster than a chainsaw! I raced my ground man up two almost identical fir trees he with a ms 200t and me with a silky. I kicked his ars with...

One time a buddy and I went out for firewood on an old logging road and spotted a big dead fir standing uphill about 1/2 tree length off the road a perfect tree! Well I grabbed the 288 and marched up the hill with bad intent. Wade said your woman's on the phone do you want too talk too her. No...
