    I have had a horrible run of bronchitis this week and yesturday I finally was able to get out and do some tree work. I got a good amount finished before it got to me and I had to lay down again. Got way up that tree and let er rip. We where clearing the trees from over my neighbors yard and my garage. It was an interesting adventure to say the least. Our goal is to get that big bugger all the way down to the ground no tree left....

    Tree felling by the garage:

    Thanks!
    I felt much better outside way up in the breeze. I did run down pretty quick though that was pretty tiring really but man it felt good to get outside.

    Thank you buddy!

    It was in the 60s and breezy couldn't ask for a better day to climb! I did cheat and use a ladder to get to the crotch of the tree and went up from there without the ladder.. :whistle:

    Right where I want to be.
    Only had bronchitis once in my life and wouldn't wish it on anybody.
    Nice slow-mo take down. I'd like to know too, is the anti gravity contraption your own design? Prolly made it with pallets, eh?
    ETA: I type too slow.....
