Haha, yeah, that could go badly with the wrong sized tree! That's actually the only time I've had the right opportunity to do that.

Tiny front yard. They are replanting with smaller variety.

This is how I try to do most of my jobs.

Hey, I haven’t been on here for awhile cause I’ve been doing so much tree work! Ended up starting my own thing after I didn’t get any traction with part time work for local outfits. It’s been going really well. I just take it slow when I’m doing something I’m not super familiar with. The cutting...

Half inch sounds reasonable. The more horizontal the pull line's angle is, the more you are trying to tip the top over. The more steep the line-angle is, the more your pulling force is trying harder to compress the wood downward, rather than pull the top over. What climbing system are you using...

Didn’t get any pics of the hinges but they were all intact and about a half inch wide. Not sure what you mean by the flat line angle but I did do narrow face cuts to get them to break and depart early. Seemed to work well. Reg Coates does most of his tops that way it seems. Don’t want them...

I was going slow with the cuts for sure. Double and triple checking and easy on the throttle. Doing these little jobs for friends for free or trade so I don’t feel rushed.

Good heads up. I was definitely checking my face cut before committing to the back cut. I was surprised how well the hinge was holding with my buddy pulling pretty hard after I thought it was cut up enough.

Well, I took my first tops a few days ago. Second time on spurs but got the hang of it alright. Dead western red cedar at a friend’s place. Took the three tops separately with tag line because they were a bit limb locked. Dropped the stick after. Everything went as planned 👍

Cool, thanks!

I l I was thinking about getting the dvd set but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. It’s insane how much people are trying to sell the used copies of the book for. I’ll check out his website. Watched an interview the other day that August did with him. 👍👍

I'm just a half hour from PDX. Olympia is a little less than 2 hours from my place. Yes, the cutting is crucial. I have a good bit of carpentry experience so that helps, I think. Been trying to get more time on the chainsaws when I'm home and watching lots of videos about different felling...

I’d say the most interesting rope access work I’ve done is in refineries. Lots of hot pipes and sharp edges to avoid. And of course the threat of some gross gas or chemical forcing an evacuation 😜 8 years of this kind of environment is a little soul crushing though.

We have 100’, 150’, 200’ coils. Maybe a 300 footer in a bag. This is probably double 200s on each tension line with a doubled 100 for access to the ground that slide along with the technician.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Here’s a little something from the rope access world. Couple tensioned lines with climbers for access to inspect these vessels in AK. About 1000’ of rope out. Damn double rope systems.

Hi treehousers! This is officially the second forum I've ever joined. If you're on treebuzz you may have seen my recent post over there about this subject but I thought I'd throw it out here as well. I'm a Rope Access L3 with 8 years doing industrial work and I was a climbing guide in the desert...
