/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Use your fucking chainsaw pussy

>>2453516
Billhook with a long handle, brush-cut that shit out of the way you're working

Jesus Christ why nature so bitch

>>2453516
just use a stick to knock the thorns off watch your step around these trees I have lost tractor tires to these bastards

I'd use a Kaiser blade

Some folks call it sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade

>>2453516
pick up a chain mail butchers glove and see if that works. It will be extremely expensive to get anything with a tighter mesh if not.

>>2453653
This

Put a skirt around the tree before removal to you can make sure those bastards are all cleaned up, those things can go through a boot easy as shit.

>>2453852
Skirt?
Do you mean a tarp?

>>2453518
Don't do this, good way to de-chain it.

>>2453947
Sorta, it's like a tarp, Round, probably 10 ft in diameter, hole in the center, big drawstring around the perimeter, grommets around the edge to stake up the sides. Where I grew up always call them pickers' skirts.

Not if you're not retarded and know how to properly tension your chain

>>2454012
Well your fuckign retarted so their's that.

>>2454012

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I8K3Eix9XY

he was blase, not sure why boomers are so blase about these death trees shits no joke can kill u

he just used a helmet and face shield which i have already, he did use stump killer which i forgot about and need to buy now

>These thorns are thought to have evolved to protect the trees from browsing Pleistocene megafauna, which may also have been involved in seed dispersal,[5] but the size and spacing of them is less useful in defending against smaller extant herbivores such as deer.

these trees are a fucking nightmare, i hate them so much

their cousin the black locus is awesome however, i have a shitload of those too

yin and yang

>>2454110
I looked up what normal people call them, apparently they're "fruit collectors". you'll see a bunch on amazon.

>>2454110
I like how he parts up the last part of the trunk on the ground by just ramming his chainsaw down until it hits dirt

I bet his local repair shop loves him, most regular customer right there

>Dulling your chain means you have to take it into the shop

>>2454420
You have to take it into the shop for them to change the bar oil.

I wish we could grow black locust around me, The borers get them as soon as they're old enough to flower. Every-time they release a new spray for them, seems like some new subspecies emerges that's immune to it.

>>2454420

Watch that video again and tell me you seriously think he's sharpening himself.

>>2454425
The dude literally has a machine shop set up in one of his buildings. I didn't really see anything seriously wrong in that video. You're probably one of those shitty old men who looks down on anybody who uses PPE and still has their hearing.

>>2454422
kek
>>2454425
Even he can't be that retarded. It's holding a file at a 45' angle

>>2454429
>Score
>Roll
>Cut

How fucking hard is that, seriously

>>2454432
I'm just saying, if you care enough to do it, then you care enough to use it properly

>>2454458
Looking at the rest of the videos, it seems like he's relatively new to having a larger property. Some skills take time to develop, and always come back to "you don't know what you don't know." You should go and harass him in the comments so that he can learn.

No, that requires an account so I feel guilty and self conscious. I only harass anonymously.

>>2453516
what a fucking faggot tree

plants with thorns deserve to be exterminated and have no place anywhere near humans

fucking cock sucking shitfuck pieces of shit

>>2454423
>>2454423
Ours have borer holes but they don't seem to mind too much. They clearly take a lot of damage but keep on growing. I've never seen a tree be half rotten and still keeping growing like a champ. They also get these cool toadstools growing on them. Maybe I'll post some pics.

>>2454707
> Maybe I'll post some pics.
please do

>>2454525
They should outlaw trees with thorns.

>>2453516
Gleditsia Triacanthos is edible (pods and seeds), why would you want to remove an edible plant out of your land?
Not to mention dried up pods smell great in autumn/winter
