Not dissimilar to my day

It’s either too good or has obvious errors, like in this case cars parked on the lawn in front of the porch, no porch pirate would do that.

In this case I saw these vids on twitter and Grok confirmed it. But generally you just know.

There was an idiot in charge Sean, the only relevant info I can remember.

I saw a vid of Bucking Billy Ray wedging over a heavy leaner, took him a long time and a lot of pounding, impressive stuff. When I tried it later that week I lost it backwards, took out some telephone lines. Luckily it only pulled them off the poles and didn’t break or damage them. Put them...

Mostly AI @cory. Sorry to tell you.

There was a vid of a guy doing the same with a walnut a few years back, worked well with the sharpest of sharp saws, a fairly neutral tree lean wise and a clear exit. By all accounts it’s not uncommon on the highest value timber. Nevertheless I bet they pick and chose carefully what trees they...

Ironically a 2ft fibre pull right in the middle of the log.

I’m a little less black and white about these things, most people aren’t just good or bad at this job, these guys may have had a good rep before this. As @Dave Shepherd said, maybe underpriced, maybe it seemed doable. It’s rarely one mistake, rather a series of poor decisions leading to this...

Speaking of growth by tree cos, the number of AT cranes, Palfingers, Merlos, Sennabogans, and spider lifts around here is mind boggling. The game is changing, as usual the US is 5/10 years ahead of Europe with regards to mechanization. But it’s happening over here as well.

Yes, very similar to the house demolition vid.

That bloke doing the talking head stuff knows considerably less than my dog about that. I think the thing that fascinates us about this is the ambition of the guys involved. This is a very very high risk operation performed by people who, ostensibly at least, seem to know what they’re doing...

Mulberry? Underrated tree for pollarding.

Yes, you don’t get that amount of gear being completely hopeless. Like I said, a career defining mistake.

@SeanKroll brushwood isn’t ‘hidden’ back in the woods it’s ‘lost’ Words are important!

In the middle of winter after a month and half of sub 0° temps, still a bad idea. That tree had some serious tonnage to it. Agreed, no matter what protection you use, that is going to leave its mark.

The more I watch that the more I have questions. More details would be nice. What do think of the decision to fell across a street like that?

@SeanKroll hows the Boxer going these days?

Good luck in the future and with your medical issues.

You’re too choosy, maybe you’re right, tree work isn’t for you, you’re too much drama.
