I've done my fair share of these type of trees over the years, and as I've gotten older, I've realized a few things...creative rigging, while time-consuming, can make things a LOT safer; your life should be worth more than getting the tree on the ground, and sometimes it's OK to just say NOPE!

@@alanjohnson6091 - Depends on how many other trees were taken down..... That one tree by itself would not be $2,000 in Jersey - and the climber (albeit, in this case, the owner) would not get that "Couple Grand"....in any event, the costs of running a business can easily incur a couple grand per day. Between insurances/licensure and maintenance/repairs/fuel, that could easily be $600/day. Then there's payroll - easily another $1,400/ day.... The owner, and certainly not "the climber", if he's _not_ the owner, do not gain much from a "couple grand". So, this tree better not have been the whole day's gig for that day, and I'm reasonably certain that it wasn't. Even if prices are inflated in that area, it still would not pay the minimum overhead.

Years back, a climber that we hired to put up antennas in trees for the company I worked for showed me the top he had climbed on in a removal. It was over half rotten and was no more than 2-1/2" in diameter- with spur marks on it. I almost had brown pants looking at it. Little did we know at the time, but he was dying from painful internal cancers. Guess he had figured it would be quick if it went. Al, we still miss you. A real wonderful guy.

Erwt 007 - That's enough targets for me. Granted, fences can be moved, if there is enough money in the job, and enough time. But, if you are dropping a tree that size into the river, you have two diminishing factors: 1) The tree can't be _left_ in the river, so it will require extra effort to retrieve it from there. You might _want_ to leave it, but local law enforcement will not see it your way. That's not a small tree. 2) Dropping a tree in a "ghetto" way invariably decreases your ability to _charge_ a premium price, which will make either moving or repairing the fences financially not feasible.

Great display of noodle tree , amazing how it bends and swing so much with a man sawing while the wind blows in the tree. Looking so weak but holding so strong !

Cowboy holler must be a universal tree guy thing lol. Good job, that was definitely a sketchy ass tree man.

What’s cool is that you show some of the difficulties in just spurring up a tree, flip line on the inside of the foot, climbing around obstacles 👍🏻

Adrenaline junkies have been my best friends! You are quite the stunt arborist professional. Reminds me of ironworks framing in the wind! Blessings young man!!
