Those look good and if you guys vouch for them I'm sure they are.

But I'm a Dickies 874 work pants guy thu and thru- much less expensive to buy, wears like iron, rarely need washing (imo ) and highly functional. Give me the janitor-green color FTW

Yeah, Walmart jeans for the win. They last me a couple years after wearing them for a year casual. Some of our scrub around here will be happy to eat any of your 80+ dollar pants.
If they rip, the are delegated to working on greasy shit and are dispoable.

Had you pegged for the skinny fit. I think they call these the nutcrackers. It's seasonal!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

No skinny jeans here. Not even the kids.
Boot cut is a necessity. Mostly.

Ew

I've gotta have cargo pockets. I constantly use them. It's a double edged sword in treework cause they collect chips like crazy, so you really have to shake them out before washing, but you cut something nice, and the scent stays with you a long time.

Air compressor with a blow gun is the cats ass for cleaning out your pocket chips. Every last crum just flies out.

What you are really saying is that you use the compressor to clean and manicure your beard.

 

[flushcut]

Lol ha ha no. My beard is impervious to saw chips.

I like cargo pockets and shirt pockets. Pants have to be a not baggy fit, and the pockets higher so they don’t flap all over the place when loaded. I used to have some wrangler Riggs. Unbeknownst to me they got a hole and dribbled expensive pieces all over creation. I also insist on horizontal or jean cut primary pockets. I will not wear vertical slit “dress” pockets that dump everything out when I sit.

Also it’s hot here so cotton not plastic pants.

All you hardcore dudes and no Dickies fans?

 

[Kaveman]

I'm wearing dickies right now, for what it's worth. I like Duluth Trading Co. If I'm to be honest. Nothing really lasts like it should when climbing trees, it's not a particularly friendly environment.

[Burnham]

Truth.

All you hardcore dudes and no Dickies fans?

I like the durability but can’t stand the fit, no flex, miserable in hot weather, crap pockets. I grew up wearing uniform pants, hate them.

 

[davidwyby]

There are some good US made jeans like Round house

 

[stikine]

Truewerk. Unfortunately not us made.

I cut down 4 trees and trimmed a rather shaggy poplar.

 

[flushcut]

Lots of wires!

 

[Maximalist]

Wires make it difficult to work, significantly increasing its time.

 

[davidwyby]

If this was being inspected regularly, should it have been removed before it fell?

 

[flushcut]

I’ve got a custy who has an elm like that over their house. I strongly urged them to remove it but “we love that tree” so cut some weight out of it but not that much. Oh well not my house.

 

[cory]

I just removed a 100 y o big beautiful red oak in my front yard cuz it had a lean toward the house that I just couldnt live with.

Zero rot in the tree. 9500lb 17' butt log. I hated to do it but I had to do it.

Replanting a nice ornamental will help with guilt. Always a bummer removing a healthy tree but sometimes it’s necessary. Some of my favorite trees are all gnarled and hollowed weather beaten by nature.
