Sorry, Darin. Tongue-in-cheek doesn't come across well in typing. I was referring to the labor intensive (not) filling out of the avatar information page. It is where I will check to get a quick reference about a person. After clicking on someone's screen name, opt for View a Public...

Sheesh, I don't why I bother with all the mental anquish and stress involved in filling out my profile, :what: but yeah...I can't think of a better place for a young climber to start out. The diversity in Northern California in relation to tree species is off the charts. Trimming and rigging...

I highy respect all of your words and recommendations, Burnham. I would put money on the fact that you have leveled many times more trees, let alone hazard trees, than I. Working in the bush as you do, you just don't have the luxury I have in the private sector, which is to charge more for...

Boy, I agree with this. When it's time to jump, jump. Burnham, your advice about setting your back against a tree reminded me of this time when felling some pretty good sized eucs, one of the guys hid behind another tree, well off to the side, when the tree started to go. Unfortunately...

Appreciate all the tips and banter. Haven't actually got the job yet (hopefully, they will change their minds. :) ) I like odd trees. I also like perfect trees. I like trees. :lol: Listening to you guys BS reminds me I have to try harder next time there is a big TH get together so I...

Not much choice in the drop zones if I want to get it down in one piece. It is either left or right (in relation to this photo) which means it is going to bounce. Really don't want to take this tree down, I think it's cool. Strongly tried to talk the homeowners out of this, but they are...

I was asked to take a look at this tree to remove. I can't remember seeing a Ponderosa with more of an S bend than this tree shows. Can't quite figure how it achieved this shape because it is growing in a stand of "normal" Ponderosas so it should have had the same protection they had during...
