Question Asked: it looks like a healthy poison ivy plant to me.

Answer: Hi Ken -

Yup that's definitely a healthy batch of poison ivy. There are some other odds and ends for plants in the mix but that VERY hairy vine is poison ivy. Thanks for the second picture as we get too see an excellent view of the poison ivy vine and how it clings to its host. It is quite tenacious and difficult to pull off when its attached itself as well as this plant(s) has.
