2 Ways to give Arboriculture a Black Eye

[capetrees]

***Padawan Learner***

to steal a line from "Monster House",
"oh my god"
"What?????"
"You're a dork!""

And whats a Dunklin album?

You still haven't answered the question from us, do you climb and work in the trees or just look with wishful dreams of those of us that do? Times up!

Some folks get focused on wood and bark ...

Yeah, what the 'Caped" guy said!

Yu stinkin "Land Lubber" you!

I'll bet you've never been over 200 feet in a tree in your life!

Maybe this should be worn down to a polished surface ...

A good sharp handsaw could take that right off, easy to climb with too.

One more example.

Doubtful that most recreational climbers would even know what they were getting into in this tree.

Is it rare ...

Or is this abundant ...

Another.

The realm waiting for the magnificent 7 of illegal climbing.

Send the butcher squad into this one ...

Your silence is deafening! Its obvious that the worst black eye to the "industry" is someone with no idea of what they speak of speaking out against it. You do not climb, you do not work in the trees and you have no idea what really happens when someone does climb. Everything is theory to you. Book smart but inexperienced. those who can, do. Those who can't teach or in this case preach.

 

[M.D. Vaden]

Here is one that looks free of wear and tear.

I'd love to see it up close, in person, smell it, touch it, wonder what it's there for?

Maybe even boil it and make some tea in my tempestuous "teapot"?
