My climber buddy in Portland asked why I still limb from the ground first, and it's been bugging me all week
We were grabbing coffee after a removal job last Tuesday and he watched me cut the low limbs off a Douglas fir with a pole saw before I even geared up. He said that's how you get a barber chair on a leaner, and honestly I couldn't argue with him. I've been doing it that way for 12 years because my first foreman in Bend told me it saved climbing time. Now I'm second-guessing every low cut I make on a tree with any real lean. What's your order of operations when a tree has both a bad lean and low limbs in the way?
