Nice pic Sean

Oh I see what you are saying, the 15 min waits. If the wind had started to worsen, they'd have just had to wait longer. Even though, for waits longer than 15mins you need a different permit which we didn't have.

I would agree with him too, but it wasnt a case of being told 'this is how its to be done'. They asked me, I didn't ask them. The only uncertainty in my mind was the wind, not the task itself

Ok Dave. Its not so much whether its worth my life, it is my life. Its what I always done. This was very much a last minute emergency for everyone involved. The parks dep got in a panic upon identifying the spit and uprooting trees....and needed the them down immediately. The Tree company who...

Sorry Dave, i dont understand the question ? Some video here by the way, if anyone would like to watch

Took a while, lost track of hours. Lot of waiting on traffic to pass. We had one lane closed and the other alternating the traffic. For every 5 mins of cutting I had to wait 15 for traffic to clear. I was eager to get it limbed and topped as quick as possible to get the sail off and relieve the...

Hey Jed, That tree had a shear crack at the bottom, bent right over the highway, was swaying even without the wind. Solar pannelled traffic signals underneath. Lots of different pressure in that task mate. No thats the first gen 540

The view from today, up at about 220. Long day

Well done Mick:thumbup:

Yes Mick. Lot of flare on the back side of that tree, so you have to roll the line around to with one hand, or you're not going anywhere fast. Trying to get your weight forward for each roll so dragging a saw up wouldn't help. Used a back handle saw too, so a little extra weight amd and bulk...

Thanks. Just finished yesterday Pete

Thanks Sean. We just been lucky with the weather....makes all the difference

Few climbing pics from today. Red cedar.

Its just a big tree.Gary, thats had a fire burn the middle out.at some point too. The wide angle lens on the camera also makes it appear like it tapers off much faster than what it does in real life. Also looks a bit weird because the ground is so steep and the camera is several feet below

Likewise mate West coast, Vancouver island

Wedges

Another nasty old cedar from today. Again, about 160, top 80 feet was dead

Yeah I got it on vid. Thats not my dog Sean. It was at a jobsite

Martin dropping a huge red cedar today. 7ft × 160. Big dead multi lead top. Make shift scaffolding to saw the undercut where the ground drops away. Sounded like thunder crashing down the hillside

Yes. He does have a business partner, managers, sale staff, secretary, accountant to delegate to as well....but ultimately a lot of people to deal with every day. I think this particular job and a few others through the year are the exception whereby theres so much liability at stake, that hes...
