That I may agree with. What a wierd SOB that SOB is huh? I don't really apreciate those articulating types all that much.

What a idiot. Everbody knows you dont prune birch trees until they have leafed out. It will no doubt bleed excessive sap, losing vital amounts of sugars and moisture.

Believe it or not Mpatch, we're not simply yanking your chain for no good reason.

We all know that generally speaking a climber should never stay with the pick when removing a healthy tree.

But even the ISA and ANSI recognises and admits that there are certain hazard tree removals where the climber is far safer staying tagged into the crane with each small pick, rather than staying behind in a dead hollow and very brittle tree.

Like many rules in this biz, there are exceptions to a few of them, and knowing those exceptions can save your life as a climber.

I've done quite a few dead hollow tree removals with a crane and stayed with each pick until I felt comfortable that the whole dang tree wouldn't fall over with me attached to it.

Yu see where I'm goin here?

im calling bs, use your head. if the stem is that sketchy use 2 cranes, one for rigging and one for you. what happens if you are attached to the crane and you set your slings and the stem fails before or during a cut. instant overload.

Oh really?

Well if you don't believe me, you can always check the ANSI standards for crane usage in tree removal operations.
