It's been quiet on the board. Everyone's getting fired up about the Rendezvous, coming up fast. I was up in Bellingham Washington recently, almost to BC, great trees and land, good coffee too. -moss

yea Bellyham is great, i was down there about 10 years back (when i used to be able to cross the border, LOL)
I have a treejob coming up, a70 foot cedar that has been dead for 5 years. Has to be climbed, cant notch and drop. Should be very interesting climb, did some bore tests and it is still very sound though.....

I was impressed with western red cedar, beauty of a tree, some interesting leaners seen in the woods snaking their way up to the light.
So what's your theory? Cedar being rot resistant the roots are still there holding the dead tree steady? I suppose you could rig some support lines as a backup just as long as you didn't nail them chunking down.

Sounds like a rough life. I guess somebody's gotta do it.
