    an old pic of a monteray pine stem i felled, you can see where it snapped in half on impact and 2 pics of a twisted fir a found walking yesterday. any ideas on what caused it, my guess it was caused by honeysuckle early on in life as there seems to be an abundance of it in these woods

    Someone has made the point about boring a heavily leaning stem and cutting the holding strap to take a top out as a safe method when climbing, this isn't the case. If you make a bore cut on a heavily leaning stem there is a chance the back of the tree will split downwards before you have a chance to cut the holding strap. When the stem splits downwards the top will go over and split part of the top will flip you and your flipline/climbing line off with the stem as well sending you hurtling toward the ground as your life flashes before your eyes. Be very careful when using the boring cut on a leaning stem when climbing - it can go hellishly wrong. i have never come accross a situation where i have had to use this method, as i said i guess this method could be used but thanks for the heads up

    obviously there are the horror stories, but as everything in this job its situation dependant. i very rarely do anything apart from use my side ds spiking, and if i thought there was an issue with a leavily leaning stem id probably use a bore and release cut.

    nice little job to finish off monday, crown reduction on a badly topped beech. dont really enjoy reductions that much, and dont really do that many either. but this was small and easy and provided some beer tokens for the weekend

    ive got a mazda b2500, its my sole vehicle, im doing more subbying than my own work at the moment so dont need anything bigger, ive got a truckman top addapted to chip into when needed, and i can usually bring a load of logs back from my subbying jobs which gives me a few beer tokens

    ashley tree surgeons have got a mitsubishi that ive driven a few times, i would highly recomend it, fully loaded and towing a chipper it performs very well, but is a bit bouncy without weight in the back
