Plas got mad and went inside.

he couldn't take the heat from all his posting, so he's back on the porch with the puppies, couldn't run with the big dogs.

And let there be no mistake....

WE ARE THE BIG DOGS !!!! :kilt:

Maybe he gave up??

If thats the case the dan is going to enjoy one hell of a lawn sale.

 

[treeslayer]

gave up typing out of his a$$, more than likely. he's lurking, and fantasizing about being a treeman.....................

I enjoyed his posts, though, was good entertainment. he seemed like a smart guy. could have been the best troll ever, huh?

I agree...

That reminds me, I think my infraction for the lipstick comment wears off in april. lol.

yeah i don't miss a lumberjack contest, i think it starts july 24th this year, I'll be there. The paul bunyun breakfast next door is awesome too. My grandpa is from Trego, heard of it? We had a place on sand lake too.

I went to the Jack show this year and wasn't impressed to say the least. That's just me though.

Yup, I know Trego, been there quite a few times.

Nice Job W.A.S

I can't believe the slayer sent you up that tree with out a 200!

WTF... You look comfortable up there wich is a great thing...I'm a rookie as well only done a few trees...I promise you will enjoy large tree pruning.. Nothing is better than swinging around a huge Oak or maple or Elm, Best feeling ever..

I agree 2 tie in points are vital for proper climbing as everyone has said. I usually put my climbing line around the but of the tree and treat my split tail like a buck strap...

Congrats!!!!

Didnt you start a thread asking about how to climb? wanting to know about saddles/blakes hitch etc...???

Here you talk about large prunes & swinging from huge oaks, etc...

you are the one who Bartlett wants to pay to get a class B, etc..?

MY POINT..............WTF, you claim to be a newbee but yet talk about HUGE prunes & swinging around...not too mention talking about split tails/buckstraps, etc... If you are so experienced as to talk like this then why start a thread about "how to climb"?

Im thinking you are repeating talk you have heard from the climbers at Bartlett...probably while driving to the next job for free!!!!


LXT.................

WHHHAAAAAT!? They bounced you for a lipstick remark? I missed it but that just seems a little harsh for a lipstick remark.

Plas ( and I am just filling you guys in, not really speaking for him) is in Kansas. That is where they sent him for his engineer job. He apparently built some kind of machine he has to set up out there.
He was talking about doing one of the jobs he landed with me. I have been looking at some things down his way.
He really has shaped up a little. Did some smooth sailing on that last locust we did but that was awhile ago, before the snow.

lets see, no hardhat or eye protection and no chaps on the ground guy good way to get shut down or killed given something goes wrong and it will eventually. btw you should ALWAYS tie in when blowing out a top.

I knew the safety police would show up eventually

do tree work long enough and see people killed or maimed because of stupidity ie no hard hat or eye pro or chaps. all three have saved my hide more than once. dont try to look cool in the name of being dumb. when I started doing tree work I hated hard hats and chaps, yes I still hate them but wear them on every job. at least wear glasses, wait until you are in a tree and get a face full of unexpected sawdust and are blind for a few seconds if this happens at the wrong time you are screwed

 

[treevet]

Little melodramatic IMO. How many climbers have you seen killed like you mentioned Patch?

I have literally seen one in my 41 years (not heard about it) and no hard hat, double tie in, safety glasses, chaps, finger and thumb hard hat thimbles...would have done anything for him as the top broke out on a dead tree (not my job).

 

[mpatch]

one killed small chunk of wood from 50 feet up to the head after it bounced off the stem on the way down. do you put your seatbelt on planning on getting into a crash? do you carry a gun planning on getting robbed? we never plan for accidents to happen but why not minimize the risk of injury?? I have ran a saw everyday for close to ten years and hit my chaps once due to a poor running saw. had I not been wearing them who knows. hit your femoral and youll bleed out in a few minutes. it doesn't take much to open up your head pretty good on little stick from 40 feet up and off to get stappled back together. it also doesnt look very professional wearing ball caps on the job site.

Sounds like you are scared of just about everything. You may be in the wrong profession. I have been in this business for 41 years now and cutting and climbing daily with no significant injuries. Someone gets hit working the ground it is the climber's fault for not maintaining the proper clearance of his gm. Every worst case scenario needs to be considered.

well said sir

 

[treeslayer]

Got called back to the same job for another tree, but I didn't have my What-a-stihl, so I did this one the hard way..............

and I did it without a hard hat, chaps, or safety police diapers..........
