usually like this doesnt matter if you do it from back,blueridges trees would be perfect to learn this on.

Nice, if that was some-ones home it must have been bloody dark inside and the roof full of **** from those pines.

Ha, cant believe you're allowed to burn, must have smoked bad since it was green.

Hey, get step by step shot for tongue and groove scarf on one of the pines tomorrow.

[smokechase II]

correct me

Correct me if I'm wrong.
It appears that the faller of the Dry Tree was 'under' the tree, direction of fall - blowing tree over the cutters location.

Any thoughts on cutting when it’s breezy?

 

[Ekka]

Yeah, looks like something happened, big ole excavator just wrenched off to some where convenient I'd say.

[Ekka]

So how did you get away with it then.

Oh, I forgot, sorry, you've got the THCA majoring in UK deflection pruning and ducking. So when are you taking your masters in UK reduction and topping for tree vitality and income acceleration?
