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

Thanks Cory and others. What really makes it special is being there alone. Not that I dont like company either, but to be at a location like that knowing that theres not another person around for miles on end makes it all the better.

I think its between 250-350cm average in that area Sean. I dont think theres much going on in the hole lxkllr, but it does go upwards a way and has a nice echo to it. I sat there for a while and had a sandwich. Great thing about sites like this is that very few people go there. It seems they...

Rope wrench for me. Really predictable, smooth and safe. Engages and releases you into descent like a clutch on a vehicle....no sudden movements. No bits of string, knots or add ons that you have to monitor or tweak. Mid line attachable. Very, very safe, for beginners in particular. Just replace...

Red cedars get big, given time. This ones about 4 hours from home

Neither is a WR, its really a Thuja

It does smell distinctive when fresh cut. Never heard of an eastern red cedar to be honest

A quick sequence of cuts from last year

They have a huge stake and own a lot of land, but not exclusively

Its year round for some crews Jed, except for when the fire risk is too high, or its too dangerous to fly in storms or fog etc. Right now the industry is in the midst of a massive dispute between western forest products and its workers, so thousands are out of work right now until it gets...

Forestry climbers can make good money here on the island, $6 - 800 perhaps, because its a more profitable industry than Arboriculture, and the work environment carries a lot more risk than residential work. As a residential contract climber, you can only charge what the company can afford. And...

Ive heard Mick. Although I can't view them because I dont have Facebook. Only thing that seems to deter it is if I add music or watermarking. Thanks anyway
