Dropping Ash tree on the lake.

I don't know where you get that info from but I think your wrong. The tuition assistance comes from the Tribe or Nation NOT from the Government.There are some college and universities that do give assistance to Native American students but you have to be at least 25% Indian blood.

I know it is a widely believed mith but it is true to an extent its not all schools or all tribes but there are schools here that have a tuition waiver for native americans and its not from the tribe. The tribe Abenaki from Vermont actually voted down a Casino or anything else, which I respect and is very honorable but the fact of the matter is they (they meaning members living on tribal land) are all very poor and live hard lives.

Also here in Canada you don't pay any taxes if you have your status card (that's what it's called here)

I actaully could get a status card there too, Tribal land runs from Vermont, New Hampshire and over the boarder into Canada. Half the tribe lives in the US and half in Canada still.

Cool, also my friends who live on the local reserve only pay 40 cents a litre for gas! Not that I get them to fill up my trucks or anything!lol!

Wow, must be a slow winter. Lots of guys flexing their muscles and getting in an online pissing contest.

Thanks for sharing the vid Arborcare.


For what's its worth; I never take anyone's word on ice thickness. I'll drill my own holes and not only examine the thickness but also the quality. This year the ice is generally pretty thick.. not much snow though.

What happen to S-O-M's sig. line "part time tree guy full time nice guy" or something like that. I think he may be hanging out with fishercat too much

Nice job on the chop and drop

:deadhorse:

sorry man but don't wanna hear anything else about the F'in Ice!!

Feel like I've answered it enough in this thread.

What!? you had your truck on the Ice!

Geez I for one wouldn't be telling some dude from canada what to do and or not to do on a frozen lake...but what do I know I'm not a cop or tree guy!

Cool vid arborcare something different for these guys to poke full of holes!

What were you expecting someone to jump up and praise you for a simple notch and drop. No idea on actual dimensions so lets just assume the tree ways 4000lbs its not far fetched to think that could be producing 40,000lbs of force on impact so I dont think that wondering how safe that was is that out of the ordinary and it wasnt meant to be offensive just curious. The part that bugged me was the music, bragging about being Canadian is like running around waving your bronze metal yelling I got third I got third... No one really cares.



So Oldirt since your the self appointed gods gift to tree cutters tell what was so impressive about that.

Acctually i watched this video about 4times over and almost all of the tree smacked down on the solid ground. Just barely on the rocked edge there. So only some branches hiit the ice

It is just a fun video. The it could have went wrong, is worth talking about.

Sweet video of all the eqpt on the ice, looked good. I'm the third generation of our family to drop trees on the lake from our swamp, no tree has ever broken through. We stop at lunch to have some hot dogs over over a massive fire on the ice using all the brush cut that morning. Other than some water no ice has ever broke. As for the song in the video, I hate hip hop rap crap but being Canadian how can you not like it. I wish i was Indian. No taxes, money from the casino (casino Rama), money for living to the age of 18 then more money for school and more money for any other reason you can come up with over an indian smoke. I live in kawartha lakes Ontario, anyone around here need a ground guy? In Barrie or haliburton or Peterborough? Cheers!

Where abouts are you? I'm taking urban forestry and Arboriculture in sept. U need a hand lol I can work my bag off lol

Nice video. People don't understand the science behind droping something on the ice. What happens when you do a belly flop on water? You are abruptly slowed before sinking. Its a little thing called inertia. Objects at rest tend to stay at rest. The shear mass of 2 feet of ice coupled with the mass of the water beneath that would need to be displaced makes dropping the tree an easy decision. That ice isn't going to budge. You did good, keep it up.

Thanks for all the comments. Put a newer video up yesterday, and a couple more coming today.
