Life in the woods: Tree removal is "second-nature" up here.

 At age 81, one of the chores I can still do is tree removal, but I leave the bigger trees to the pros . The guy I rely on is Brad Montague, head honcho of Brad's Tree Service . Brad and his crew have removed roughly 40 trees from our lot in Errol, New Hampshire over a period of 25 years, and the above video is from their recent last visit . As always, the 3-man crew worked fast and effectively . I was mesmerized when that first tree went into the shredder. That machine literally "ate" the entire tree in seconds. Loggers up north will tell you they "work in the woods" . Montague will stress that he is not a logger (in the strict sense) - he usually doesn't work in the deep woods - but he knows his craft and does it well. I will also add that his cleanup is flawless .
