LOL fuck yeah I did. I had to get a running start to swing through some brush on the way to another limb and yelled it as loud as I could. I even got sticks in my mouth.

Uploading a shitty cell pic now. At the highest about 150' on a 140' tree.

Wow, I didn't think OSHA would allow that anymore!

I used to do that welding on bins and stuff in the quarry. Hang my stinger cable on the hook, clip my harness biener on and "cable up". It really was a great feeling.

Do not confuse my lack of pants for my ability to do tree work.

Roof is fine. Thats why I used a crane. Only used one crane. Big tree but small picks.

Pretty awesome dude....


I just do wind rows, and thinning, and am NOT an arborist.

Chop and drop, and clearing in the off season.

I get fancy with spikes now and then..

It's a whole 'nother level of precision I don't understand, when a crane gets involved.

Good shit!!

Nobody is skeered of heights until they are standing at the base of a big dead Ash with spurs and and a 200 and 441 strapped to their saddle.

Cranes aren't cool. Straight throwing 40' tops off spurs with a 362 is cool.

You're allowed to tie off to the hook there?

Yes, what is consider by OHSA to be too dangerous for other trades is safest for tree work. Also we don't tie off to the hook, I have a 3/4 ton shackle on the cable above the ball.

The only thing that ever worried me about hanging on the crane was the chance of the operator getting me caught on something.
