Here is my submission for peeling two trees. The first tree is a poplar and it was around 39 feet long so I cut it into two lengths. The other tree was some kind of spruce.

To get certified for this BB, post the following pics.  

- Your 2 trees before they are peeled, showing they are at least 6" in diameter at the fat end and over 16 feet long
- Your 2 trees after they are peeled and up off the ground

Here are my jump poles. I have 11 over 8’ stacked off the ground.

I chose this tree because the top got snapped off in a storm.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
 - drop 6” to 8” live tree with a chainsaw

To document your completion of the BB, provide the following as pics or video (<2 min):
 - your chosen tree
 - tree with the wedge/notch cut
 - tree on the ground
 - measure across the stump showing diameter

Clarifications:
- Trees larger than 8" diameter are ok if that's what your woodland care plans require to be cut

After a storm, it was time to take down a dead cracked and leaning tree beside the trail in the kids play area.

I needed to relocate a wasp nest from my work area.  
 I’m working on a new build that’ll take me into November and a wasp build a nest by the front door where I needed to lay brick so I moved it to the backyard close to the garden and fruit trees under the pool house/cabana roof  where it would be safe and out-of-the-way for this season.  

Here’s my Dry Peppermint submission.

Here is my Dry Oregano submission.
That Oregano has been growing in that spot on the farm where I grew up for over 25 years.

Here’s my stinging nettle decoction.

I used burdock that I harvested last summer to make this decoction. I simmered it for 30 minutes, let it sit for another hour before I strained and put it in a jar.

Here’s my dandelion decoction.

Minimum requirements:
- Make a decoction
- Strain and store your decoction or make ready to consume

To document completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pictures or a video (< 2 minutes):
- Dandelion root (either being harvested or just harvested)
