I have been out cutting with people that were hap hazard and just lite in and just start cutting. One (Of Many) things I like about cutting with Ron is he takes his time and looks at the job and accesses the best and safest way of doing it. Being comfortable with the person you cut with means a lot and that I am with Ron. Today really showed our team work. I can tell you that I was very apprehensive about wading in on it. It had several points of support plus a possibility of it rolling in either direction if not cut properly. We first decided to cut all the branches that were not supporting it and reassessed it after that. I think if it were not cut properly it could have turned out bad. Also I am very short and Ron is tall. He could reach up and cut where I could not reach. I would have had to have a ladder.
Ron stated that he has poor sharpening and cutting skills. He is very humble to say the least. Of our group, Ron is the best feller/cutter we have. I can tell you I am not the person you want to fell trees. I can buck them, the easy part, but not very good at felling. His sharpening skills way surpass mine.
