Believe it or not, that hill was more than double the brown not long before we did that job. The loggers came in and took hundreds. Then the line clearance dropped hundreds. Then CalTrans took hundreds all down the corridor over the roads. Be driving along and, oh look! I did not know there was...

Thanks Mang. :)

I just cut small enough to use it when I need to. As it works out, I often cut small enough for the mini to drift and lift as well.

Yes Ray. Love that thang.

I should mention Sean, that we often start out with a longer hank (300-400') of 1/2" to do the limbs, top and smaller logs. Keeps the weight down on the climber. Once the logs push into about 600 plus lbs, we up grade the line. Use one line to pull up the next one to me. Helps keep the fatigue down.

Mostly 9/16th and 5/8ths rope, stable braid and tuefelberger. 5/8ths SS blocks and tenex dead eyes. HOBBS and KK devise for catching.

Your old sign.. I did finally buff your name off the boom.. It was hard to do ... It was like having your friends name on something, you just want to leave it. Stehansen's sign is still on his trailer :lol:

Sure was a nice and gracious surprise from the home owners. I just mentioned to them, that if they got a few good shots, if they did not mind e mailing some to me. Got a nice thank you and a DVD.... Been a while since we did the job too.

Thanks all :) Scott, I think you get more big ones than I do :D Some more..... We stopped on this one just above the roof line. Stem had to fit shy of a sidewalk, leech field, septic tank and a drain line ....

Some bigger chunks....

Paul, Thanks man. The Wraptor is a huge game changer and I can't imagine what I would do with out it at my age handling these larger trees. The jobs pay well, breakage of stuff ( my kit) bites into it a tad some days. Gary, each tree has to be approached cautiously and assessed. You warn the...

This is a good sequence if they load right...... Nope, they loaded two different muttled... Oh well... They sent me over 500 pictures... I will resume going through them and editing tomorrow..

Negative blocking the logs and zip lining the brush Mick. Thanks :)

Wood is Good......

1.5 days with the crew on that one tree. Chip dump site close by made turn around quick. Deck logs on property. Burn duff on site. :) Next tree was next to the house and I needed a gin pole to drift and load share the rigging with, swing the wood off the house. Not my more desired tree close...

Getting the stick to fit.... Double cutting.... We got to leave the log lie. Happy Stephen :D
