Nice capture with the top stig.

Wow, that's one white tree! What is it exactly? I've never seen a birch that solidly white before.

Jēbē gēbē :^P

I slipped off a bridge form once, and caught myself ~1" before having a piece of rebar go through my neck. It wasn't a freefall like you might get in treework, but it was still enough force to not be much of an impediment to penetration. Eric, they build boxes like that on bridges for rebar...

There's always the hope you can take a significant fall and live to tell the tale. There's a few here that have. Spiky fences somewhat diminish that hope :^D

What was in the sky ~34 seconds into the first video? It looked like a pair of birds with contrails(!).

Hmm... Canal water. Isn't that a safety issue? How does purification work out there?

You were pretty high up on that sketchy tree. How come you didn't drop it whole?

I'd be interested in hearing what y'all think of those chipper blades. Do they look like they were flipped at the right time? Too late? Too soon?

Looks like the tree might predate the houses. How did they set the line? Jack and bore?

Dave, did you find many critters working in those cedars? Looks like they'd have a lot of commonality with palms. Lots of hidey holes for critters to get in.

Someone somewhere was filing the back of the teeth inline, and up to the witness mark. I think the claim was a faster cut, and better chip clearance. I didn't pay super close attention, so I don't know what the real world results were, but if you felt like playing, you might want to play with...

Probably shouldn't have parked the 4wheeler under it :^D

Why's that a removal? Looks like the house is gonna get raped by sun.

Footlocking with spurs is a baller move!

Looks to me like he's using it as his main tie in with a ropewrench.

I was thinking that too. If your line ever goes slack, you could be in trouble. Having it very close as a temporary tie in is probably fine, but I like a little more certainty in my support.

I guess they aren't quite worth the effort of climbing to remove the codom section to ensure a good fall(assuming a well qualified logger isn't on site)?

I was thinking that myself. It's weird, and not something I'd do to an oak unless absolutely necessary, but with the right arborist skill, it could be maintained as a quirky specimen tree.

Make sure you graphite the wheels well.
