THANK you for the "tedious" detail of the climb, August! That helps more than you know. Rigging and cutting are glorious and fun, but getting into the tree is sometimes more of a challenge than I anticipate. Straight stems are pretty understandable; it is some of the deciduous, meandering leads that I find more frustrating. Limb walks and their kin are a dandy workout for me. My buddy is always yelling from the ground, "Climb like a kid, Den!" Yeah, easy to say from the ground! LOL!

I was wondering about the climb up as well, so thanks for showing that! Even at 65 years old, I find myself tempted to get some gear and give it a go on my wooded property. Probably say that just until I am about to dig the spurs in and climb, then remember I have something else to do, ha! I had a good laugh out of the drawing for grandpa - heck, that is a keeper! Reminds me of my boy when he was young, sliding a stick figure drawing under the door of the bathroom I was occupying (way too long I guess) of a guy holding it and having to pee really bad. I still have it, and laugh every time I look at it. Enjoy the moments August, they grow up fast!

I have plenty of work on my 3 acres of forested property just knocking dead lower branches off the doug firs.

👏Good warning there while you were doing that face cut while tied in. The one major fuck up I've had in the last 8 years or so was forgetting to take my rope out after cutting a notch to top the tree, ive done it many many times and I even mentally noted it before starting the notch but still forgot, it was hot and i was admittedly rushing more than i should have been. Thankfully it was a small top off a soft maple and only managed to rip me into the tree and damage my ribs(think I cracked one but I never went and got an x-ray so who knows🤷🏻♂️)... I still do it, which probably isn't real smart, but I'm extra careful now lol... well off to work, thanks for the motivational video to start the day!👍👍

Cut the nubs off = less for stuff to snag on while doing the rest of the job. When pruning and leaving the tree alive, it's a different thing, you don't want to cut into the cambium layer of the tree, and that cambium layer sticks out a bit on branches, so there will be nubs from pruning.
@br-dj2ti
Жыл бұрын
That's so when your regen your ropes don't get caught on the nubs sticking out or also if you slip or fall your body doesn't get impaled by one of the nubs that you did not cut off you always want to cut them flush to the tree if removing the tree hope that helps God bless
