Tree work is a bitch for sure.

...and dangerous.
I fell off of 6' ladder while cutting branch w/ chainsaw. Ground was too soft for laddar.

Everyone is probably curious.... Yes chainsaw is okay.

One must remember that trees were here before us. They'll probably be here after us. Old Guard Boss.

For tree work on dirt and uneven ground it's important to use a three-legged orchard ladder. Never use a standard step ladder on dirt ground, it's a good way to fall just as you did. Also never use a three-legged ladder on a hard surface like concrete. They're made to grip in dirt but will slip on a hard surface.

I have eight orchard ladders from 6 ft. to 16 ft. They are so very handy that I use them every week. Not my photo but it's illustrative:

Sounds like the opening lines of a new horror movie Edgar Poe style after they run out of other ideas. "The trees"

Three legged ladders are the invention of the Devil.

LoL. Good that chainsaw was my own and did not borrowed it from member here. It will be very hard to explain some scratches.


Yeah.
I ve learned fast and someone told me about the special ladder. (After I fell).
It is only my 2nd time falling off the ladder. Good that I only have 6' ladder. Both were uneven grounds. (River rocks and yard/grass)

When people fall off the ladder. Make sure to detach yourself (away) from ladder in the air before ladder hit the ground. That can lead to broken leg in between step.

Against the odds, I've only had one ladder mishap. An extension ladder on wet concrete and steel plate.....as I was getting to the top the damn thing slid out at the bottom. I was young at the time and had no injuries.


I have had some close calls putting up xmas lights over the years though.

My major problem with ladders is that I will go up and down them, and then buy a bigger ladder.
