I just heard about this tragic event a couple hours ago. So so sad. RIP, Jed. I live in the area, but have never met Jed or Jacob. When Matt of Eastside was just getting started, he rented my GRCS a couple times. Patrick worked for him a bit, before and after he met me.

Thanks. Way back in 1995, I did the same thing. It was early on in my (and industry) adaptation of new climbing techniques. I was distracted and improperly tied a scaffold knot..The tree was a large cedrus. Josh climbed it first and set my line. I jumped on it and started footlocking, as best I...

Wow, what a beast of a Monterey cypress, eh?!!

Whoa..... (know anything more about that?) It's been over 10 years since a groundie was killed by a falling chunk. Years later, I got the details from the climber, a good guy and now a tree service owner. The guy was whacked out..ran under the tree after being told to stay clear, and did so...

lol.. at motor..

These two images were shot after our skies had cleared out. But, a day before the 2nd image was shot, which was 9/29, some smoke had returned. Not much, thankfully. Both images are of the sun setting over the Olympics. The 2nd image was shot 10/2, and includes The Brothers, the 2nd highest...

Yes, stig, since late spring, I believe. As a photographer, I repeatedly noticed and commented that, since the pandemic, the world's skies were likely the clearest they had been since the Industrial Revolution started. Until I noticed the clarity had diminished and then heard about Siberia's...

Dayum, Willie. I've thought of you, Auggie Shilling and other friends in your bailiwick since that wicked situation developed. Unheard of wind and heat conditions... Beyond scary. Meanwhile, my precious sis and her son are under evacuation warnings where they live in Sierra Madre. Barely two...

LOL. As I wrote, that was shot almost 3 days ago. The sun has been totally obscured for two days now. Situation is supposed to improve with a weak system coming onshore later tomorrow, and with rain predicted for later and into Tuesday, that will be a big help. Then, weather patterns may bring a...

Smoke has enveloped the entire state. way over 4 million acres burned in the three western states. I haven't seen the sun for two days. Working tomorrow. got the whole house fan on staying inside, watching football. This image is shot of my favorite madrone at sunset two nights ago. I did shoot...

They are still images, Bart. I'm a photographer first. Video is secondary...

Thanks for the tip. I know I move the camera too fast when I'm shooting video and talking..... My bad! Had I not had to add some stretchy True Blu to the 300' spectra tight line, we could have gotten it tighter.... had the intact stem been more suspect, it would have been nice to have had the...

Text on the YT vid: This video is about a highly technical removal of a very dead and hazardous hemlock tree. The top of the extremely rotten lead had already failed and landed on a shed. We set three lines in an adjacent 120 foot Douglas-fir, one for life support, one for rigging and lowering...

It's been a long time since I've put a vid together. Read the long description on the vid. Watch in Youtube, full screen Feel free to discuss, ask questions, I'll do what I can to explain anything that's not clear.

I'm thinking you have the numbers bassackwards.....:P

Aww, poor fella. It's this ole fart that needs a bucket......you, young'un? Nah!! :P8):walk::dude:

Basking in the glow of a great football day. Hawks, as of now, are the #1 seed! Working a little now and then, getting closer to being moved back in...and, spent Wednesday on the Nooksack. See Nooksack River Eagles - https://flic.kr/s/aHsmJYtWvW Click TV icon w/arrow upper right for slideshow

That's what I've used for years. Bermy's method with the apex of the triangle facing toward the lay gives essentially the same effect.

Yeppers.... Climbed on a TL for about 18-20 years. Blakes for about one or two. Vt for 24. Add em up and, by my count, that's too many...... Feeling old I wuz yesterday. Had a 32" purple plum with a (many) years old defect to remove. But it was 120 feet down a steep slope. Used the chipper...
