"Safe" Tree Removal Pix......??

[xtm]

I've been meaning to post these two photos for a couple of months....

I took these photos this past spring at a friend's place in central Texas. These were live oaks that had been dead for several years. Everyone survived - but I had a hard time watching. :msp_rolleyes:

Yessir, Texas tree removal at its finest, in the immortal words of my mentor, Sherriff Jimmie, "Jeff, jes clamb it lak a boy, you'll be fine!"

To be fair, back in the day he took third at the Georgia ITCC, and is still the best big tree man I ever met. He taught me right, but what a character.

I have seen scenes like that way too often here though.

These kind of guys make for some good entertainment.

Yeah, from a distance.

I have a job for them here in NY. I'll even give them beer. Glad to know they didn't end up as Darwin Award candidates.

I am quite happy with Darwin's idea's, it may be cold, but Natural selection is a thing of beauty, too bad we are getting away from it with all the mandated safety rules. Common sense was far better on the economy or the lack there of.

They have some cousins in the UK, I watched some clowns a couple of days back working an Ash tree, i had to ask if they wanted the meat wagon ordered up now or would they mind waiting after a hard landing, in the end they gave up.
