I'll stop for now. Let me know if you want more. Cheers TreeHouse!
 
I always dig your vids, especially the cool srt pruning perspectives.

Right on thanks man. I always remember your comment to maybe show more climbing as opposed to just cutting, I keep that in mind.

I like the setting for this one, edit: there's a bit o climbing here.

Wow, I don't think on my best day in my prime I would have done a tricky branch like that in the snow!

Quite a challenge for me, there was a good 1/8th inch of ice under the snow. Good thing it was just one branch!
 
Hella job in the cold and slippery conditions. I dig vids of srt in the snow!!

Loved the vids!!
Why did they wait so long to remove that limb?
Did the snow and ice weight it down?

Thanks Sawman. The owner of that tree/house is a crazy old hippy... she is "loathed" to cut any tree, even dead ones. I tried for a moment to talk some sense into her but quickly realized it was a futile effort.

Nice one, Levi.


What is your typical work like there? What trees do you work on most?

Thanks Sean. We do a lot of pruning and not a lot of takedowns. The common trees are- Plains Cottonwood (video tree), Hybrid Cottonwood, Siberian Elm, Green Ash, Honey Locust (thorn-less), Silver Maples, couple kinds of Willow... Most of the trees are pretty small, I've never measured but I doubt there's many over 80' and that is a BIG tree for this area.

By the way fellas that was a ground girl and she kicked ass, she didn't stop all day. It was a veritable shit storm for her, 3 guys sending stuff in 2 yards, most of which exploded upon impact into 6'' of snow. She didn't stop though, musta had a hot date8)
