      The simulation of what would happen with the ropes and chipper was a good clip . I know you put effort into making it; you should have explained it and made it at least a minute long. I’m sure everyone that watched it didn’t follow what was going on; I had to rewind it and watch it again .

    It's Jan 3rd. I was looking at last night's radar, and the blob of rain over the pnw, thinking it'll be a while before we see the monkey beaver working. Man was I wrong! Thanks for keeping this one in the magazine! It's nice having help in those big trees, even if it's just for good company. It gets lonely and frustrating up there alone.

I am still thinking about your story of your past…more respect from me in addition to what I felt before…courage. hope, believe…intent…keeping it real…hold steady and steadfast good friend!

  • @pseudotonal
    @pseudotonal Před 2 lety

    I've topped a pine before. I used the top as my Christmas tree. It was obstructing my dad's view from our cabin up the hill. I threw a rope up over the first limb -- about 15 or 20 feet off the ground. I climbed up to about 40 or 50+ feet with no safety ropes and used a bow saw. When I was done I stood on the stump of the trunk on one foot and raised my saw. My brother took my picture from up the hill. What a dangerous thing to do, but that is what young men do. Within a few years you couldn't tell because of the way the tree continued it's height with its remaining side limbs.

    August, for those of us abroad who are interested in trees as well as arb' work would you mind dropping in the name of the trees you are dealing with. Here in Scotland our tallest tree (a Dougie) is 217 feet tall and most are very much shorter than that so to see you dealing with what to us looks like very large trees is fascinating. Knowing their names would allow us to look them up, see their growth habits etc and fill in the gaps for guys like me who are fascinated by trees from seed to mill (or chipper). It's just a thought, I won't take umbrage if it adds to your video producing or narrative work load.
