nice video, bet the ghetto and footlock were knackered!

That was mine and dans exact train of thought before the test. all kit would pass loler!!

I really thought a 6ft drop with that weight was going to do some damage, like sever the line. We also set the drop off center as most falls are off limbs so we added a bit of pendulum. Im currently putting together the other footage we got from the ground and working out the stop vs human body.

Well a lot of people said that this setup wouldnt work or be dangerous as the Lockjack would easily sever the rope from a drop due to its bend ratio We did some tests. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo-vh3dFt-0 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Fo-vh3dFt-0"...

Ben, Great job and i can safely say the uk doesnt have many trees close to that size.

Yeah western red cedar, its called a dog tooth back cut. Taught at colleges to avoid the risk of barber chair, personally i use split level but Tom has only been out of college for a bit so i let him do what hes been taught rather than tell him different ways and he makes a hash of it.

I put together some footage off a job a while back, shows me using the swedish cut on the stem sections http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ml5aVtKh3Q&feature=youtu.be

I do have his DVDs but when i get the chance to watch TV i get 5mins in and the wifes like WTF!! ARBPORN!! I do really need to watch through them.

The reason why i cut lower on the stem sections that are evenly balanced is because its less likely to take the saw with it, i'll put together another video this weekend hopefully of a thuja we did a while back. Also ive been playing with the face depth to try and get the timber to hit the...

Its called a Swedish cut, used a lot for chogging stems down in europe, removes a heck of a lot energy used to move timber sections with the normal step cut way. this way you can aim and drop it of with ease. Once you have a go you might be kicking yourself for having not used it before (i did...

Just a bit of left over footage from the year, mainly testing out new filming rigs and stuff. Hope you enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upEdg2D2zfw

Cheers, Theres another, better one in the pipeline. BUT with the Uk the weather is normally quite poor and filming in low light is terrible. Also we dont have huge open trees like in AUS so struggle to find anything to compete on the tree size of Frictionhitchery and Ropewrenchery. Thanks...

Egg in a basket its called, when i go to holland its very common, a bit like eggy bread but you get to break the outside off and dip it in, also good with chips. Ps Master Blaster im loving this section of the forum, kind of feel my cooking is quite bland now compared to everyone on here :cry:

Cheers everyone, There was me thinking only Norfolk, and Netherlands were flat. ;) It was a great climb, there was a clear section of around 30ft where the tree had a few tear outs. The tree is on the remains of an old Stately home which was a WWII spitfire base and the owner had some pictures...

We had a play in this Cedar on Saturday, great fun had and yes norfolk is that flat. The windmills are around 13miles away and the cathedral is around 9miles away. Anyway the music most of you are probably going to hate, so i recommend putting the sound on mute and playing a cd of your choice...

What a video, ironically i have been weighing up between the two and was leaning towards the hobbs anyway. Here in the Uk these devices get used a lot more than in the US id guess. We have old medieval poorly set out towns and cities. Not to mention our row upon row of terrace houses that have...

I did think about it, just thought for the amount of time it wasn't really going to effect my climb and it was days end too. But if that was the mornings job well, id of sent the boy up it. :lol:

Why is there always that demon on your shoulder that goes "i wonder how cool this would look falling over........."

i even found a picture of when we deadwooded it a year or so ago.

I used one the other day, kind of thinking about buying one now, firstly when i moved it empty i thought the weight was all off. But once loaded it was really good for moving brash about. Might get it after the GRCS tho....
