Also depends on the saw size. Backchaining with your climb saw is a different animal than with a larger power head. I mean, hell, who doesn't like a little push back now and again?

Thanks. And I backchain up a tree too, not very often mind you because it is not exactly ergonomic. I hear where reg is coming from. You goin to the BCTCC, reg?

Ok, been a while, guys and gals. But, after spending all night with 2 upchucking little boys and a few loads of laundry, I climbed about a third of small row of lombardy poplars we had to prune and said, see ya later. So, I went home and did some admin, met a few clients and found myself with...

Damn I've been missing out! I'll try and sit down this week and get some pics up!

A couple from a crane removal, and then some from a dead pine flop. In a bit of a cold snap at the moment, so things are moving work wise, but its slow. And I'm A-ok with that!!

Nice pics, gentleman.

Pics are a little deceiving, basically I was trying to get the balance right on the pic. Normally trunk wraps, but I don't have a problem using limbs, especially if I have shorter slings. That one didn't come off as well as I would have liked, that's for sure. I've never really understood the...

Thanks guys, its been a while since I've really had time to check in here. But, you all are a big part of why I'm kicking butt and taking names right now. So far this year, after 3 quarters, I have already done 50% more gross sales and added a chipper!! And as my wife is going off mat leave in...

My safety line or the slings on the trunk? I often use both my lanyard and my climbline for working spars in the former case, in the latter it was a bridle. What a bad double post!

A few more pics...on the willow pollard is a pic of the way I sometimes tie in on a single line to avoid a sideload on the biner. But, I'm generally not too worried about sideloading a biner...would someone just invent one that could be sideloaded already??

A little bit of what I've been up to lately. Really swamped busy at the moment, which is just the way I like it heading into the winter. More to come...

Beauty view...and since we're sharing views from God's country, here's Lake Okanagan from the Naramata side. I reduced some willows, alder and then vista pruned some big fir trees. Great place to work and even better people to work for.

Nice pics guys! Squish it must be real cold up there this time of year:/:

For the next 24 hours I will attempt to decode your last message. And I will reply tomorrow...between this and the Adrian's mermaids my brain has had a computer overload, gnite all!

Even though thats half a world away, it reminds me of the prairies...same trees!! Nice work everyone.

We have a lil binder that we show, but it needs some serious updating. I'd like to get a shot of the whole fam on a good project. The little crane is owned by the fella operating it, who I sub for and vice versa on virtually all of our projects. It is a good relationship and we get along...

Bigguns...3 hrs? You da man!! Lots of room to work, Imma guessing? We just did a big one last week where I brought a climber in to help...sometimes it sure is nice to run the ropes and see the operation from the ground. Especially when you're self employed and tend to climb freaking everything!

I love it when wifey shows up to the site! A little snippet of various spring work projects. For my second season in biz for myself, I am super busy! Booked a month out right now. Lots of fun work done and a few feathers in my cap. And the HH has been a big part of my productivity...or should...

I've been crazy busy in the last little while, but I love to check in to the house when I can! Great pics all, Chris your uncle is a badass for wrecking that tulip poplar out in 2 hrs, my hats off. A snippet of what I've been up to...

You look real comfortable....:P Haha, real nice oak, looks like a nice one in the background too. Spring has sprung!
