My First All Me Tree

[Gauge]

Hey guys, my mentor turned my lose today in a smaller River Birch and said "Get it done". It wasn't anything crazy, had to rope a few stems off and drop the top. Also had to rig up on both trunks to pull them over in a smallish drop zone. Everything went good, no damage and it was done in a timely manner. It felt good.

Git er done!!!

 

[woodslinger]

Very nice, enjoy that sense of accomplishment.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Are you tied in twice? It's hard to see...

Once is none - twice is one.

 

[Gauge]

Oh yeah, the lanyard and my rope is just above my head in a crotch on the back side.

 

[Grendel]

Right on Gauge

I have been using the alt method with 2 lanyards on evergreens and real stemy stuff too. I like just flipping 1 lanyard above the other then taking the bottom lanyard off.

 

[Gauge]

Thanks all.

Nice going, a big achievement that separates you from the common man.

I only used the 200T on the stems larger than my fist, we got some Silky's and they are ridiculous. I hardly ever had to even crank the 200T. Best hand saw I have ever used. We have the Zubats and they rock.

Hoorah. Now maintain your perfect safety record. Are you wearing a helmet?

Woo hoo! +1 on the noggin.... things may fall, but it's just as bad when stepping up and knockin' the noggin.

Uh yeah its the new Petzl Camo helmet. You cant see it in the trees. We are going to order some next week I think.

Well done. Now do it again everyday until you can afford a Ferrari!

 

[Fiddler]

Good accomplishment!

Uh-huh...cool how it matches the hairline.

 

[MasterBlaster]

lol!

I know right, it's hard to keep up with the times LOL. I think I am going to try and by myself one anyways, if I can swing it next week. I think the owner is buying the huge husqy helmets and I think I would rather have something snug like a Petzl or Kasq

I was thinking more along the line of a Pagani Zonda.

 

[pantheraba]

I have a Rockman big clunker helmet, probably like the Husky you mention. I don't like it in the trees too much. Your idea to get a sleeker helmet makes sense to me.

I'll grab the Rockman on the ground when bucking wood or felling a tree or spar...but in the tree it is not my choice.
