Treeslaying Illinois style

[treemandan]

Was wondering if anyone was going to question the open cockpit design.
Sexy does come to mind, too.

I like ferris wheels, but DON'T ride roller coasters, go figure.

I like how its small and open. I would use full body fall arrest, clip in on my back and run the lanyard up through the top to a rung.

I still can't understand the skeptism. great job on getting that together, its nothing to shake a stick at. How quick is it to get set up? I imagine the ladder is design to be fast.

one man holds it up, one man slips the pins. safety clips on pins.

angled brackets are bolted to ladder, big grade 8 bolts with them locking nuts, with sleeves welded inside the brackets, making them crush proof.

looks like you figured out how we can attach Rope's walker up there so he can work, too.

Im just telling you to be safe, you wanna battle royal, bring it pal. Im well armed.

So you're the drunk matt that I heard about. took a lot of liberties didn't you?
well, just shows knowing tree work and doing tree work well are 2 different animals entirely.
You agreed to work for a good hourly rate, live with it. Adam said you could have gotten rich working by the hour, anyway. and he also added you burned his phone up for 3 weeks afterwards, couldn't have been too bad.

there's a good reason you don't work here, and many reasons why I do.

Put 4 outriggers down, attach cockpit, place ladder on work, less than 5 minutes, easy.

This one used to Brimmstone, along with swimming pools of Mescal Tequilla and tractor trailer loads of weed. Seemed to always take a predictable course (financial, marital trouble, jail etc.) so I gave it up 20 years ago. Don't bregrudge anyone else knocking down a few frosties tho.

 

[Brimmstone]

I don't I just like to pick on treeslayer. He's a wiry little prick but he is damn good up in a tree.

Yeah, I had trim jobs booked today, rolled up to the first one and it was pouring. Left the dump and chipper at the HO's ( friends of ours ) and called it. It's one thing to spike in a downpour, but I pass on the trims. Might take a nap soon.
