Nope, if we can get a rope in it we're good. Have had a few cedar over the years with tiny down turned limbs, bit don't tell anyone...Deadwooded some Doug Firs SRT while the guy next to me spike pruned. Is that normal to just climb firs with spurs? Willie, is that how they do it in Orygun?
Pruning spurs....? I thought they were only a myth.
Guys sent me this pic the other day

Ha, I've never noticed that. If you click it all of Off Topic goes away, sure makes the place seem small.

Thanks Willie, just checking. Crazy good drop by the crew.
Jed, amazing 1% clients blow my mind with their benevolence. Let them eat cake.

It's been 10 years and I never noticed it, either. Seems like a silly option...

I bumped it once on accident while I was a bit drunk. I thought maybe I typed something I shouldn't of and got demoted or something.

If I make a hinge like that, I have to stop working for ten minutes to fully appreciate it.

More biners!!!
I tell you...I would not have ever thought that tree hinges could be an appreciated, almost competitive item.
Fine work there.

I know! I just count the rings, HO usually want to know how old the tree was, 2 birds one stone. I can sit for half an hour looking at the growth rings and figure out what I was doing while the tree was growing. Some HO's find it interesting, some make gestures to get back to work....

This was a tough job we just pulled off of. Been there all week. Even had to use spring boards on one of them. Hill drops off into a riparian zone and guess where the trees were...
Home owner did not want the line clearance crews to dump trees down into the zone like they did the last batch of mess. So we got hired to rig out and winch out all the brush as we stripped their marked trees. Originally we were supposed to leave the stems for them to fell up hill just short of the primaries. Once he found out we could do the deed, we got to fell all the stems we could in 5 days after we finished stripping them and reducing them down.
I guess he cut a deal with the logging company that is working all over up here, Bamford. They will be logging the unmarked trees and harvesting the one's we felled for lumber. Did my best to not bust up stems, but terrain is terrain and with out limbs, the smaller wood bashed a bit. Next month we start the other side of the gulch on the same side of the property. same deal.
I kind of wanted to leave Bamford with a litttle example of what we can do. Rumour has it they might be looking to sub a climbing outfit from time to time up here just to handle some of the problem stems.
Second time this property has been logged in a year though. More and more dead all the time. Jaime got to see some first hand while he was up here.

Ahhh... thanks brother................. never even would have figured it.
Here's me when I get home...
Stephen: Dude.... that's like the nicest double-cut I've ever seen since Jerry's book.
Anyway... Went out to the rich folks's again today. Heard what they wanted me to do... I was like, "prune Cottonwoods??" Uhhhh... o.k.
Andy caught a tiny firewood chunk right as she went in...
One of Andy's shots from yesterday...
The boys shove off with a big load of crap. Oh, and speaking of one per centers... would anyone on here even believe me if I told you that the folks are actually going to mill these into furniture??

Jed, THAT is a cool job you are on. Crane on water would about shoot my nerves. If that barge tipped, I would just not want to know.
Thanks for the Jed i kudos

Ahhh shucks! You're the Jedi, and you know it.
Deva: Hey thanks for all the good shots you've thrown up as of late. I go off this side for three days, and get smacked in the tail for it. Say... do you have any pics you could throw up of that 210' triceratops Redpig you rigged out? Uhhh, yeah.... remember... the one you made the Wespur catalog cover for. Man, that must have been one mean climb.

All over high wires? Willie those look tall too. Was it windy?
Thanks Jed, these days I'm not very cool being on my own and not having fat Presidio trees to pose in. I do get to contract climb a bit more for variety...but I'm glad you guys let me hang out and chat...I'll look for more of those pics from Rio Nido. I didn't make the cover....though my boss at the time Evan made the contents page. We tip tied and cranked big redwood 12 footers with a Hobbs.....Silly cheap too at 3k. He was trying to bust in to the Guerneville market.....and I was young and down for whatever.
Here's some cool abandoned trucks on a property I just subbed on.

No, that was Justin brushing what he could while Doug was roping. I ran ropes and dragged brush all day. I'm a tired monkeyThat's big timber alright. Looks like the climber had to get high enough up with the bucket to be able to get his lanyard around that thing.Haha.
Just comm lines. We got 2 more days for the crew to finish brushing them then Wednesday were picking logs.All over high wires? Willie those look tall too. Was it windy?
