General rule I go by is that pavement is soft and roads are hard - worked so far…

The obsession with producing social media content above producing good content. This drives many companies such as this to the fore - a little skill, little experience and a great deal of confidence don’t always end well. I have seen some of there content previously and it is basic at best...

Some organised felling from Japan

Nasty burnt timber. Very unusual to see someone in the PNW use a pushing chain in a back cut

Tasmania logging in the 1940’s

Centre of gravity - side weight caused the rotation

A quick clip of a decent sycamore I felled the other week - shame about the tearout and decay in the stem as it would have made some nice timber. Quite tall for around here too at 34m (110ftish)

Smooth and efficient Rich. Does not get much better 👍

Or instead of trying to do over complicated shit, just rig conventionally, letting it run until it hits the ground & then lock it off. You desire for fame and adulation has not diminished I guess.

They did seem a long way out of there depth. I have never felled anything of that magnitude, so I can only imagine the difficulty that size brings

I swiped across and watched the second video- too much side lean and not enough hinge IMO. Guy line for the win.

He in on Instagram as johnlloydarb- flying chipper anyone ? part 2 is worth a watch too - good bump Rich

Good vid - think the climber/rigger is called John Lloyd.

lots of bad decisions leading to a painful event. You can see it coming

Probably due to potential damage of remaining trees - zero collateral damage is common here now

That was a crazy way of bore cutting that head leaner. Too complicated which increases the chance of error. I really did not like how he formed the hinge - dragging the tip like that is going to cause him trouble some day.

Messy work - they did not adjust to the new levels of deflection at all quickly. I cringed at the topping off onto the crane - just wrong. Could always top the tree out as usual, and instead of letting it run to the floor, lower it down a little and let the crane pick it.

He will probably survive- quadriplegic climbers might struggle to get production work though

Looked like it pulled sideways on one corner, perhaps it was one of Daniels special tapered hinges. He is going to be sore after that
