Paul, I just found the machine but not the tree getting blown. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wJNzX0KUoCk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I thought wet rope was stronger.

I think the video is available on the web.

Its hard to simulate a real windstorm. I think its cool that Gillman is try to test this out though. I think there is a lot of stuff that we do that is still just anecdotal and not scientifically proven.

He had a cool set up for blowing the heck out of those trees. His first approach was putting the trees in the back of a truck and driving them down the highway.

We used to sell wind sail thinning in California and then we were told it was BS but more recently there have been studies done that show it can help if done properly. I am not sure if the study included conifers though. I will find the study and post the link.
