Patrick, I just received my copy of "The Fundamentals of General Tree Work" 25th Anniversary Edition. Amazing amount of information inside. I'm excited to dive into it. Thank you for bringing this treasure back to the industry.

That walnut tree was full of drupes. Fun hearing them falling on the roof of the shed. I'm sure the limbs were heavier than they looked with the nuts attached.

Love the "panting" in the tree,,,,,, shows reality of tree work,,,,,,,,I do same thing when in awkward positions to rig and cut.,,,,, very physical work

Fancy swivel on your bridge! Looks light!

fyi, in your throwline skills playlist there is a 'fidget toys tiktok' video. for a second i thought you had a way of integrating fidgets toy into your throwline. 😁

I’m just impressed with how quickly you hand saw through the branches. Is it the tree/wood type or just a sharp set of teeth or both?

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

A good Silky saw is amazing

Excellent video.

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Thanks Fred. This maple handsaw handle you made for me is amazing, I love it. Hope you are doing well. When you get better I have a job that I need help with, a stock I broke a couple of months ago. All the best. - Patrick

Do you have a video showing how you tied the ring on with the Alpine? I saw a video somewhere, I can't remember where. I just use a quick link or locking shackle myself

[@renemir891]

What's the name of the green rope on the bridge??

[@completehorticulture]

What hitch cord are you running what type diameter and length on your rope wrench set up now days. Still the knut or back to the machoican?

[@TheKpoke31]

What is the nod he uses to hold the branches ?

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Siberian/Daisy Chain Hitch

[@dankotos61]

Nice work I hope you didn't go nuts trimming that walnut tree. Lol how do you like that row & lock on your bridge. I have one never got around to using. And I like Alpine with a ring for canopy tie in SRT
