Almost sparky time Codoms…

As a kid I remember thinking this area was weird because everyone had their trees painted. It fell out of popularity and now every tree whose canopy doesn’t shade the west side of the trunk is fried. Started posting on various local fb groups to increase awareness.

Hi Chislebit, I have seen some of your workpics over on the Buzz, impressive stuff. Welcome.

Welcome, sir.

Hey, I just signed up here. Seeing a lot of familiar folks from Ope and Treebuzz, on @davidwyby ’s recommendation I thought I’d see what’s going on here. Looks like a cool place to hang out. I’m a timberfaller that owns a tree service in the Sierra’s. Looking forward to reading all the stuff here.

It's a Jotul 602 knockoff. Several companies made them, and I don't recognize the side panel casting, so can't offer more than that.

Make pictures for the hive mind to problem solve

It’s worth a watch of Northman’s video. Short version : as length increases, so does price, but logs are scaled off the small end, so more goes to waste off the large end, so board foot yield is reduced. It’s a tricky game, but it seems for a lot of trees up there 32’ is a sweet spot, and...

Would it help or hurt to pull that chain out at this point?

People… Do we need an auto enthusiasm thread? Someone left a headache around 20’ up this tree… Ancient firewood cutter. Wooden table on the left swings. I might adopt it.

All the time, pruning, removals whatever.

Anyone know What it is?

Interesting. What about pruning? Or you do only removals?

Light glaze, groundie must have let it run too much. I was not in my usual truck and was short on gear. I hadn’t expected to rig, and that arborplex is somewhat disposable. I had planned on it being a Natural crotch rigging rope, but forgot how nasty the surface of oak is. I have a difficult...

Never used them, never owned any, I always wear spikes though.

I am surprised to hear that, Mick. You do not ever access the tree with ascenders climbing the rope? I'm sure that has a lot to do with it! Personally, throw line is one of my favorite parts of tree work so I use it often as possible. Nothing more satisfying than having a piece tied off and...

i love throwlining but i also like taking a break from it sometimes. therefore i will spike up most removals and usually generate enough work for groundies.

Different strokes and all that. Don’t get me wrong, in many/most circumstances, getting a high tying in point quickly with a throw line is undoubtedly a more effective way of getting up there. In the great scheme of things though, on a one or two tree day, with one or two groundworkers, the...
