    I was always under the impression that the barber chair was due to tension in the centre of the log. Species dependent, some are more prone to it than others. A small face doesn’t address the tension. A deeper face removes some of the tension. If the species and characteristics of the wood...

    I think there is another video coming out with more climbing footage. There was a professional filming company with drones etc.

    A job from London a few of my mates were involved in. Namely the climber. He used to work along side me when he was a beginner. Maybe I taught him a thing or two. One of the largest tree jobs in London. A couple of years planning. Charles Darwin’s house or Charles Dickens can’t remember...

    Ever been to Acoma Pueblo? I visited there in ‘97 and it captivated me. The stories of their history were amazing.

    So do I. It works well when modded but is a plum as standard. That type of poplar regrowth is pretty snappy. Maybe that was the reason but more than likely he is trying to be an ambassador for recommended cutting techniques in the UK. I bet his boss said if he was filming no spear cuts LOL

    Stig and Mick. Another vote here for the spear cutting. Problem here is he is using a 150t. They don’t cut quick enough to spear cut in a lot of cases.

    I can’t actually answer that, from a felling perspective. I don’t know if I am lucky or unlucky. Lucky that I have never had to fell one from ground level? Or Unlucky that I have had to climb the ones I have removed. So, I have no idea how it would hold on with a full crown weight. I can...

    You might not be saying that if you ever have to climb one. Everything is spiked and the jabs easily get infected. I have climbed a few, just spurring up the trunk and there are small whirls of spikes at each branch collar. Almost impossible to not get knuckled when flipping up the tree. My...

    thanks @cory . I saw on one of his videos he mentioned he had been to Norway to do some work. I will watch that in a bit. I am just back from a rather airy weekend at an Arb and Forestry show in the UK. Hilarious catching up with my old mates. Camping and not a lot of sleep. Working to day...

    Wow. Maybe, being able to assess a back leaning tree is a better skill than knowing how to free a pinched bar with ratchet straps. What do we know though?

    In a round about way, that is what i was trying to say. Those without the knowledge can be easily fooled with a few big words and big actions. Yet, those who know, know.
