Hey all,
I've got a tortuous situation out in the woodlot. Big ol' dead ash tree is just waiting for me to bring 'er down, but it has a poison ivy vine that's crawled about 4' up the trunk.
I'm horribly sensitive to poison ivy. direct contact with leaves/vines gives me massive raw blisters, and contact through clothes will still leave me with a 2-week rash.
Any ideas as to how I can purify this thing so I can fell and buck it? Also: share poison ivy firewood stories.
