Thanks mate! Good advice, I am very cautious with business partnerships. The tree game can be hard, being organized and communication between clients and contractors is important. It is getting hard to find good help and that's why being a climbing contractor working between several companies works out well for me aswel as the company I'm helping.

Stihl makes a small 200 top handle you would love. It comes with a 12 in bar but we are running 14 and 16 in on them and they do great. We have 3 of them and love em. Great climbing and cutting technique there fella ! That was one knarly tree.2 days of that and your legs were probably telling you all about it eh, LOL. We got a couple steel lined Kevlar ropes too that are amazingly light and flexible and will stop a chain in the track. Just a little extra feel good while you are up there. I am retired now as my knees gave up so this was a great trip to the past. I am from BC Canada and did my share of helicopter work on 300 ft west coast wood crabbing from stem to stem. I really like your style. All I do now is some safety and dream of the old days. Thanks again bud. New sub for ya too.

[@NZarboristBryce]

Thank you for the comment! I run a stihl ms201t now, I got it not long after this job but I did like the echo saw for the price. It did me well! I am planing to move to BC next year for some contract climbing and Id love to work with a log building company to gain the skills to build my dream log home back here in New Zealand one day. Your trees and logs in Canada are amazing. I was in the rocky mountains snowboarding earlier this year for 4 weeks, drove from Calgary to Edmonton, where I visited my aunty and uncle. Then to lake Louise, Banff, Golden, Revelstoke, Whistler and finishing in Vancouver to fly home. I fell in love with the country, scenery and the people! I cant wait to be back.

It's being developed and landscaped. But it would make more sense to fill some holes and re grass than it would be to rig every piece down.. even if it wasnt to be developed. You could almost add a whole nother day if we were trying to look after the lawn. At a cost of almost $2000/day. Hope that changed your mind.

[@hughbo52]

Oh no, I was being sarcastic. If a homeowner wanted a tree removed, but had more interest in his grass, then his priorities are mixed up or either he is stupid. I did this the pieces you rigged down was cool to see in operation. I'm in agreement, it's easier to fix the lawn than to deal with the tree.

[@Dan-oj4iq]

Not a tree guy but have a big question. Why do they let some branches just fall on their own and other ones are tied and lowered. The size of the branch doesn't seem to matter and neither does whats below. Can't figure this out.

[@NZarboristBryce]

Hi Dan, It mostly depends on the weight and the footpath beneath. The long branches with foliage, have zero chance of cracking the concrete, where as the heavy chunks will. Let me know where in the video you're confused about the branches I did rope and lower. Cheers Bryce

[@Dan-oj4iq]

Brice: Thanks for your reply. You know I didn't consider the weight of the drop. But now that you told me it makes perfect sense. For some weird reason I watch an awful lot of tree felling and chain saw videos. Never used a chain saw and never will but I do know for a fact that it is rated as the most dangerous job of all. Something very fascinating about cutting trees. An expert can "guess" where a tree or branch is going to go once cut but wood has a life of its own and is always unpredictable. Especially dead wood.

[@jeffculp9720]

what is the consensus on the new echo trim saw vrs stihl? personally I think they are comparable on performance with the exception of the echo's chain tension not staying tight. with that being said if echo fixes that then Stihl maybe in trouble considering the huge savings echo offers.

Old growth refers to growth of trees in a forest setting undisturbed by man and growth that began under a forest canopy which continued undisturbed until it emerged from within the forest canopy. Such growth results in a tight dense distribution of growth rings, up to 40-50 rings per inch. That tree is no old growth.

I have a question Paleo , what happens to the 500 year old tree that is spared by development or a group of concerned folks. or the 450 year old oak, in the farmers field, does it.,, in your mind,, loose its status as 'old growth' , old growth is old growth is it not , no matter where, or what, if it was not logged the first time they logged in the area , which i wood have to believe , anything before cross cut saws, axes, and horses and oxen wood be old growth al be it . i also believe in young old growth and old old growth say 300 being young old growth.. and 1500 being old old growth. you tube is awesome . old is old .. actually as i write i realize this is not a question , more my belief and understanding and i reckon opinion.
