GA Weekly Getting Outdoors

Cooper discovery stt M/T is by far better than the bfg and procomp m/t's I owned. For sure my favorite tire. Plus I got them from a jeep guy for $400 brand new after he wanted 37's for his cj instead.

 

for sure, trying to get back into the photography...and learning a new camera...they will only get better

 

Mornin’ Y’all! Got seriously busy in my neighbors yard yesterday.
Got him hooked up with a new roof from the Neighbor in Need program.
So decided to do some light pruning before his roof goes on.

 

What’s your climbing/access setup? My previous career had me at height daily.

 

Got a minimal tree setup. The usual, harness, spikes, lots of leads, shit ton of tackle, and i have a porta-winch. Will hoist your ass right up in the tree!

 

Damn spiker haha. Ropes only for me. Throw ball or a big shot to access those hairy spots. Then jug up and get’er done.

 

Haven’t had to use the spikes on anything I wasn’t removing the whole tree. Spiking is bad to begin with.

 

Touché my good man. In that scenario I’d be spiking as well. Every tree I’ve been in, or needed to get access to, needed to retain as much health as possible.

 

Indeed. I have filled up 4 full truck loads of limbs in two days. Not too shabby.
Then I dump it out and spread the chips in my yard. Running a pitch fork for the next two days lol

 

Leaving Saturday AM coming back Sunday PM. Anyone have any suggestions of places to camp that don't involve a large campground?

 

Sub’d

 

Is this an "I'm going somewhere, but where should I go" kind of request, or did I miss the "I'm going here, where should I camp" kind of question?

 

It's a where should I go question! Trying to see if anyone has any suggestions

 

Did you do the campsite by Horsepasture River near the end of Chestnut Mountain Road in NC? I think we talked about that one before.

Roughly here: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0613793,-82.9467591,55m/data=!3m1!1e3

If so, sorry. I'm still sort of new to this area. Some of the long time resident guys can probably give better info.

 

I think thats the one we are going to do!

 

Needed some fresh air today.. Hit up the East Palisades trail to see a little bamboo in the middle of the forest. Trails were a bit muddy but thankfully the rain kept clear while I was there.

 

Anybody going out this weekend? I know @grant318is is going camping, but not sure if he is doing any trails beforehand.

 

me me me me me!

More than likely heading to Windrock. But may check out the big frog loop. Confirming this afternoon with a buddy. I have monday off so a windrock trip would be sweet. Would get to test out the new setup

 

We've been talking about getting out of town. I have a half day tomorrow and all day Monday off. The problem is that we haven't decided where, if anywhere, to go.

 

I’ll let ya know what is confirmed this after oon
