  • This was actually a multiple removal job. It will produce two videos. This is a takedown of an elm over driveway, not requiring rigging other than a few hand rakes in a natural crotch. Along with some musings of various RUclips comments just a game of trees having fun :-) don’t forget to check out www.gameofchess.com.

      I wear the Arborwear heavy chainsaw pants in winter with UA cold gear underneath. Backside can be a little thin so I might add some cotton boxer breads over the under armor when it really gets cold:)

    The “potential” issue or challenge of working under someone else in the beginning in my opinion is finding someone who does things safely and according to current accepted standards. Some cut corners, etc. Not good to develop those bad habits early on.

    I like to watch any tree vids but am clearly not a "fan" as you describe your viewers, just a casual viewer. At the risk of sounding self righteous (you are the king of self righteous) or "snobby" (I am English tho) I gotta ask a few questions...who else would run a lanyard with a huge wonk in it like that (likely from that handsaw you obsessively use?) ? Who else gonna do a td without removing the bottom limbs in the way before the top limbs? Why you gonna climb an easy bucket takedown when you have a bucket sitting in the lot other than for content and make the job tediously more difficult and much slower?
    When you butt hitch a limb or log...why don't you use a marl below the cut like any other experienced treeman instead of laying it over a crotch and hoping it falls into it? Why did you take down a nice elm like that? Do you never stop talking at home like on the videos?

      Great stuff Dave! Your the most consistent casual viewer I have:) I finally got that lanyard changed out two days ago. Yes, it was due. I had to go up to clear a broken branch so while I was up there I decided to take some branches off, and worked the tree down from the top. As far as that nice elm tree goes it was an American elm that they didn’t wanna treat so the best time to take it down is when it’s a small as it was before it dies. They live in a forest they have no shortage of trees. Regarding the bucket truck it’s currently in the shop waiting for parts as is our Dino lift. Supply chain issues are real. Yes Amaro was an option but I also knew we could put it into that crotch and there was no consequence if it didn’t go in the crotch, Because there was a boatload of space. I hope that answers your questions, I’ve watched some of your videos, there’s definitely room for critiquing :-) as always thanks for your comment and thank you for casually consistently watching :-)

      PS...a little advice from a very old experienced tree veteran (Treevet if you will)....having not worked for anyone or with anyone else is NOT something to brag about. This profession/trade is developed and mastered initially by an apprenticeship. Working for another company and or with other tree guys is where things are learned and high proficiency is developed through competition and repetitions and studying and discussing ...not "climbing contest" proficiency but day to day arboriculture.
