[TheForge] Frosty

[Mark A. Pesetsky]

I have done a bit of tree work and all I can say is that you MAY think you know where the branch is going, but that is NEVER 100%. That is why it cost an arm and a leg to have an experienced team of guys to come in and take trees out. I only do work on small trees and work that I can do from the ground. I have trees in every direction and they are mostly 25-50 years old and older BIG stuff....No spikes here....
 
Be Safe

Ironically, not too much before Frosty's fight with the tree, He and i
were emailing and i'd expressed fear and trepidation about falling trees.
He responded that he was experienced and careful.
I manage to get hit by limbs using a pole saw!
