Winter is in full swing, so for those of us who rely on cord wood to heat our homes, it\u2019s paramount that we have enough to last until the snow is gone. And if you\u2019ve lived here for even a handful of winters, you know that you\u2019ll be burning wood more often than not throughout the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re needing more cords of wood, Hans Addicks has got your back. Three years ago, he started Tree Fellers, a business based out of Alpine that focuses on felling trees, hauling them off, and delivering wood. \u201c[Tree felling] is one of the coolest things ever,\u201d says Addicks. \u201cI cannot explain it to you. . . . There\u2019s something about being axe man that is just awesome. It\u2019s the hardest work I\u2019ve ever done. It is also the most rewarding in a lot of ways. Your office is outside. I like the fresh air, and when you cut pine trees out here and spruce trees, it smells like Christmas time. . . . It\u2019s wholesome. It is extraordinarily hard work, and that feels really good to me. I\u2019m a man\u2019s man, so I like getting out there with axes and saws and getting after it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before Addicks and his family relocated to Wyoming he says, \u201cI did this for fun back home, and I developed a skill set that not a lot of people even know about anymore it seems like. And the people that do are either huge companies that have bucket trucks and . . . cranes and all kinds of heavy equipment, and then there\u2019s just guys like me that kind of do it small.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doing it small is what makes Tree Fellers unique. When it comes to felling trees, Addicks takes the old-fashioned route. He has no heavy machinery. \u201cI climb on spurs and a flip line,\u201d says Addicks, \u201cspurs like gaffs, basically spikes that go on your legs. And then kind of like a big adjustable lanyard that you kind of throw around the tree and the flip line or scare strap, and then you go up that way. It\u2019s old school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addicks can remove trees on your property, chop them up into cords, and hand them over to you for personal use. Or he can haul off the wood and find someone else who needs it. The minimum rate for tree removal is $500 and goes up from there depending on the tree\u2019s size and proximity to other trees, homes, septic systems, sprinkler systems, and the like. You can contact Addicks at treefellersalpine@gmail.com or (307) 690-4383.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All in all, Addicks is focused on good customer service. \u201cI believe your word is your worth,\u201d he says. \u201cSo I wanted to do something around here where I could help. . . . I mean it it\u2019s a wholesome way to do things. I can put some money in my pocket, and I can heat someone else\u2019s home, or I can spare their house from getting hit by a big nasty tree or something like that. It\u2019s just a good line of work.\u201d<\/p>\n
