Just be careful the fingers don't get de-gloved by the munter. Great vid though and the drag line seemed to slow the pieces nicely without him holding the rope.

More biners!!!
They surely seemed to have it figured out. They do have some big trees there. Impressive.

They were probably the last of the big trees

Ayuh, enjoyed watching that for sure.
I always get "a bit" envious seeing a crew like that work. From my point of view
because I work solo a lot it's amazing to see everyone working together and making
it all go so smooth and "easy".

Me, too! Everybody's videos just show making the cut and then the piece falling. I'd like to see some action of the rigging! Now with drones, it could be done to capture the full perspective.

That's exactly what I think every time I watch videos like that.
I'd love to see "pre rigging and post rigging".....mostly the "pre rigging".....

Good point about the "post-rigging!" Never thought of that for videos, but I do think about it when I'm up top looking down at the ground person trying to untangle the mess. Good rigging contributes to overall speed, ease and safety, even after the piece is on the ground, yes?

Rigging is just way more methodical, and easier all round on the crew...

The "high drama" short clip videos are great..... but I've always enjoyed the longer ones that show all that stuff.....not boring to me at all. Good rigging always makes the job safer and quicker.

I would just be interested in who did the work...
Ben, you have been away too long mate. We have shit loads of them bloody pops around here. Tall? Yes but I reckon the GoPro adds 20 -30 foot on the height when viewed from the helmet cam.
Taking nothing away though it was a well planned job that looked like it could have been a nightmare. I wonder how long the whole job took?

I'd love to work on some pops! Bored of huge oaks with tiny LZ! LOL

Setting the rigging would have been a lot easier with the petrol ascender. Some good planning & teamwork going on too

I'm jelous. Would've been two cuts, five minutes with the chipper, and off to the next one. God I pray that my boss can someday see the value of a crane
